Quality vs Quantity

Wow.. hi everyone...
It's been a while.. sorry about that... I've missed you!

So, as some of you may know I'm a total sucker for products... the little bottles / tubes.. the packaging... It just somehow makes me tick.. tick.. tick...  I'm sure many of you know exactly what I mean!?  I'm not alone in this right?

I am trying to de-clutter my life at the moment.. Clearing out my closet - getting ruthless and donating the clothes and shoes I haven't worn in years or have worn maybe once... some clothes even still have labels on.. yes I know... stop judging!

I'm trying to do the same with the products I use.  Over the last couple of months I have tried to rather buy one nice thing that's a good quality brand rather than buying multiple cheaper items.  Am applying this strategy to clothing as well and it's wonderful!  I find myself looking forward to wearing my clothes because they're all special - BONUS!  Being creative with outfits is fun - wearing the same items, but mixing things up to create a new look each time - challenge accepted!

I have a few favourite products that I find myself using daily, so I thought I'd share them with you...




 Starting from the top left moving clockwise:

1) Human + Kind all-in-one Wash off Facial Cleanser
2) Human + Kind all-in-one Day + Night Cream

These products are all natural and chemical free which is great! The brand's ethos is to offer skincare with a difference.  I'll be doing a post on Human + Kind soon so keep checking in for more details!

3) Organic Wear mascara by Physicians Formula - 100% natural origin mascara
4) NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - #617 (Iced Mocha)
5) Dr.Hauschka Lip Balm
6) Garnier BB Cream  - Medium
7) Clarins Eau des Jardins
8) Woolworths Vanilla & Brown Sugar hand & nail cream - with with argan oil

For those of you in South Africa - if you're not sure where to find any of the products just leave a message and I'll let you know.

I would love to know what essentials you can't live without - so please share!

Please follow me on Twitter and Instagram (tanjadebruyn) and post pics of your favourites using #sweetpeasunrise so that I can see them!

Thanks for spending some quality time with me.. Have a happy weekend everyone - Come back soon!

Lots of love,
T
