While today may not seem like “the perfect summer’s day” here Jozi, we’ve had enough blistering hot days to remind us that summer is here! And with summer comes the ultimate body freakout! My clothes from last summer are too small! They couldn’t possibly have shrunk! Sound familiar? Don’t worry, I feel your pain! Like really feel it, in my love handles that is! Friends and I were discussing this over lunch on Saturday. You know the winter weight gain scenario; how winter makes you, well, fat! Having lived in Durbs for the past ten years and back to Jozi just in time for winter, I had not only forgotten how white you get, or how dry your skin gets, but the big one, how those love handles start saying “hello”, and just in time for summer! Arhhhh! Durban winters are mild. Some days they reach 30 degrees C. So there is no “winter weight gain” or so to speak.

After a long, hard year the best way to relax, unwind and rejuvenate your body has got to be with a little pampering help from Africology! Used in all the top Spa’s and hotels, this range is also available for you to use at home. I got to try out some of their Top Summer Beauty products, and I’m totally smitten with this range! Such amazing products that leave you feeling like a million bucks, without a visit to the Spa. For stiff, sore muscles and all those hours hard at work, I love Africology Muscle Relaxant Massage Oil. It’s super absorbent, like a massage in a bottle. It can be applied all over the body, face and neck. I love applying this massage oil onto my shoulders before bed to help ease the stress from sitting behind a computer screen all day.
