As Fresh As A Daisy

Daisies are a small white rounded flowers with a round yellow centre. They are found in many parts of the world including Africa, Europe and North America. The word 'Daisy' comes from an Old English word meaning the day's eye. They were given this name because they only open during the day.  Symbolism: Daisies symbolize purity and innocence. This is seen from the whiteness of their flowers. New Beginnings is also a symbolism of a daisy and this is why they are normally found in bouquets for new mothers or in gifts for children. Each daisy flower is really two flowers blended together and therefore they symbolise true love. This is why we play the game 'He/She loves you, He/She loves you not' with daisy flowers.  Message: A daisy sends a message of hope and renewal and tries to help someone see the world as they once did when they were a child. Daises are my favourite flower because they are not only beautifu

Review: Cafe' de Bain Coconut Macaroon Shower Cream

A shower cream that is so decadent, you will end up smelling edible. This British product has made its way onto the South African shelves and definitely has lived up to its name.  It has the exact scent of a coconut macaroon and leaves you body feeling pampered and relaxed. I love it because it is so soft on the skin and the delicious scent makes your shower a very relaxing one.  I bought this at Pick'n Pay for R49. Cafe' de Bain also have fantastic other products. Be sure to try them out. Lots of Love

For the Love of Purple

Image
Purple is my favourite colour and so I decided to take a look deeper into its history and meaning. I find Purple magical because it is a colour with many different dimensions. From lavender which has a felling of calm and precious to a rich,dark purple which is deep and mysterious.  Purple is very rare in nature and ,hence is seen as a sacred colour. The first extracts of Purple came from shellfish so therefore it was hugely expensive to create. In the olden days only the rich could afford to extract the colour ,it then became colour that only the most royal garments where made out of. This is how Purple came to symbolize power and royalty. Purple is a combination of the calm and stable blue and the warm and fiery red, this allows it to posses both cool and warm properties. It is the most powerful wavelength of the rainbow and is a few steps away from x-rays and gamma rays.  Purple has a variety of meanings but the most common are magic, mystery, creativity and royal
