A long, long time ago I used to work at a pharmacy, and one of the products I was always curious about, were the beige tubes of COVERDERM. Winter uniform meant my legs were permanently covered, and the girls behind the makeup counter had a field day painting my face....
WBeauty now offers skin care solutions
Considering that I’m approaching the bottom-range of a midlife crisis, I am very aware of the fact that I need to do something more (pro-)active about my currently often non-existent skin-care route. Thanks to the recently extended WBeauty range that offer newly...
The often-mentioned birthday wishlist
In a little over two months’ time, it’s my birthday. Again. Yes, these things have a tendency to happen quite frequently, and my feelings about it are rather ambivalent; usually not so great. Apparently this time I can also claim to be at the lower-reach of a midlife...

Discussing eCommerce with Woolworths and Yuppiechef at Heavychef
