The Girlboss Directory
Look & feel like the boss babe that you are! As a firm believer of supporting local and woman-owned business, this little directory is an extension of my most loved items that deserve to be shared with you beautiful ladies because when you look and feel like a glam queen, you really can take on the world.
We are often so clouded by the mega giants that sell us our everyday products like toiletries, clothing and accessories that we often overlook the gems sitting right here, just an Aramex delivery away.
So let the magic begin....
Shop Manana
I believe in the power of big hoop energy - the art of loving yourself, being powerful/sassy and not tolerating any BS; with the right hoops comes big confidence.
With over 20 different hoop styles to choose from, finding your match will be easier than finding a potential date on Tinder - they have thick chunky styles to dainty diamante huggies to cuffs and more. Sterling silver gold plated jewels that shy far from giving you any jewelry allergies. But, they don't only have earrings, you can also find necklaces perfect for layering as well rings which will compliment any outift. What I love about Shop Manana is that their accessories are well-priced, the packaging makes it feel like its your birthday everyday and they have just launched charms to their store which are calling my name.
Here are my personal favorites:
T-Shirts For Change
Two words: recycled plastic. That's right, the products from this brand makes their apparel by using material made from recycled plastic bottles which means you are directly helping fight against the plastic pandemic whilst being fashionable.
They manufacture tees that have iconic prints on them to allow your voice to be heard for topics such as: climate change, feminism and sexuality plus they also added their own spin on the tie dye trend that took the world by storm. And if you needed another reason to support this brand, a portion of the proceeds from their t-shirt sales go to specific charities which allows you as the consumer, to give back.
Some of my favorites:
Skin Functional
Basically South Africa's version of The Ordinary.. And its cruelty-free, non-toxic, alcohol and fragrance free - say hello to your new bathroom cupboard essentials.
An affordable skincare range that specializes in serums with active ingredients that are specifically targeted for specific skin concerns and skin types. The company goes above and beyond by including a morning and evening regime instruction pamphlet with the items you have purchased for the optimal dosage and frequency of use. I am currently using their hyaluronic acid hydration juice which helped so much with keeping my skin super hydrated during the dry winter months and have recently included their multitasking fixer to help with the dreaded maskne spots that come about.
