WELLNESS WITH KIKO VITALS You all know by now tha WELLNESS WITH KIKO VITALS

You all know by now that I've been taking the @kikovitals supplements for quite some time now.

Through conversations in my DM's, chats with friends & family, I've seen a lot of curiosity about the brand, & the products I hold in such high esteem.  I find a lot of the time when we get sent products to test, followers can tend to think any positive reviews are just for 'show'.

To be quite honest, I myself have never taken supplements or vitamins regularly.  I'm terrible with remembering to take them, & often find I don't feel as big of an improvement as I'd like, & after maybe a month of taking something I'll lose interest.

For the past 6+ months I've been taking the @kikovitals Hormone Balance & the Debloat + Gut Glow (I started them when they were still in the old packaging!), & since the launch of the Prebiotic + Probiotic blend I've included that as well - & I've been taking them religiously, remembering to pack them when I travel. 

This for me speaks volumes.  The fact that I literally cannot be without these products shows how much I believe in them, & how my life is so much better because of them.

Overall, my hormones are happy, my gut is happy & my skin is happy.  If you know my history (terrible stage 3 endometriosis, a partial hysterectomy, years of up-and-down hormones), you'll know that I've tried everything.

To finally be happy & healthy is a huge deal - & honestly @kikovitals has a huge part to play in this.

Do you have any questions about the brand or products? I'm happy to chat, whether it be in the comments or my DM's!

ROSÉ ALL DAY... ...or all year round! The @zand ROSÉ ALL DAY...

...or all year round!

The @zandvlietwine Syrah Rosé is a lovely year-round sipper that will many wine lovers.

On the nose you'll find rose petals, melon, strawberries & raspberry coulis. A refreshingly vibrant palate, with red fruits (particularly strawberry) & a floral undertone.

This wine is fabulous to sip on alone, but it also pairs exceptionally well with seafood, light pastas, fish & pork tenderloin.

Available for purchase at most leading retailers & online.

GRAPEFRUIT & ROSEMARY GIN SOUR I recently receiv GRAPEFRUIT & ROSEMARY GIN SOUR 

I recently received this glorious bottle of gin from one of my favourite gin companies - the @poeticlicenseza The Rarities Grapefruit & Tonka Bean Gin.

A sophisticated, citrus-forward gin that is smooth & flavourful, I thought I'd whip up a cocktail worthy of it by going the extra mile. Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice & a simple syrup infused with fresh rosemary. 

INGREDIENTS:-

50ml @poeticlicenseza The Rarities Grapefruit & Tonka Bean Gin
30ml freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
25ml rosemary simple syrup
1/2 an egg white
Sliced grapefruit & sprig of rosemary for garnish

METHOD:-
Light the rosemary & place under your cocktail glass to smoke.
Add your gin, grapefruit juice, simple syrup & egg white to a cocktail glass & dry shake (with no ice to create foam).
Add ice & shake again (to chill).
Strain into your cocktail glass, garnish with a slice of grapefruit & the burnt rosemary, & enjoy!

A delicious, fresh cocktail with a delicate rosemary hint to it - you'll definitely want another!

You can purchase The Rarities Grapefruit & Tonka Bean Gin from the @poeticlicenseza site for R325 for a 750ml bottle. They have a delightful range of other gins too, so take a browse!

Check out @bylizna & @run_on_coffee as they have also reviewed this gin!

PERFECT WINTER WARMER If you're on the hunt for a PERFECT WINTER WARMER

If you're on the hunt for a great red wine to sip on this winter, I can HIGHLY recommend the @blaauwklippen Malbec 2021 - a new release from the vineyard, & part of their premium wine selection.

With aromas of dark chocolate, with hints of mineral & tobacco nuances supporting full-bodied notes of mulberry, cassis, & berry flavours perfectly. Plush chalky tannins with vibrant texture on the palate allows for a fine aromatic finish with a lingering length.

The perfect food wine (as described by winemaker Narina Cloete) - & that it is!  Along with this beautiful bottle of wine, I was sent a jar of spice created to pair with the Malbec.  On Mother's Day we bought some lovely rump on special, spiced & braaied it, & enjoyed it with the wine - a spectacular pairing!

You can purchase your own @blaauwklippen Malbec 2021 for R250 a bottle, available from the farm or select specialist bottle stores nationwide.

RUBY SPARKLER Life unfortunately got in the way o RUBY SPARKLER

Life unfortunately got in the way of me posting this delicous cocktail from @kwvwines - although I whipped up a delicious drink for my mom & I last month when we had my family over for dinner!

This is a wonderful autumn cocktail, filled with the rich flavours of delicious @kwvwines Cape Ruby fortified dessert wine, & combined with their Demi-Sec sparkling wine (I have loved & bought their Cuvee Brut a number of times, but this Demi-Sec is fab in this cocktail).

You can tailor this cocktail to your taste (more or less Cape Ruby)!

INGREDIENTS:-
1 part @kwvwines Cape Ruby
4 parts @kwvwines Demi-Sec 
Garnish of berries optional

METHOD:-
Pour Cape Ruby into your chilled bubbly glass & top with chilled Demi-Sec. Garnish if you'd like, & enjoy!

AGAVE SUNRISE In a couple of weeks we'll be headi AGAVE SUNRISE

In a couple of weeks we'll be heading down the South Coast for a weekend away with friends, to celebrate a birthday - & that birthday girl loves a Tequila Sunrise, so I figured I'd better practice so as not to disappoint her!

I always use my trusty @leonistaspirit for drinks like this - & a GREAT quality orange juice is a must, which is where the @oneco.sa Craft Juicery Orange Juice with a twist of Blossom comes in. 

INGREDIENTS:-
50ml @leonistaspirit Reposado Black
@oneco.sa Craft Juicery Orange Juice with a twist of Blossom 
20ml grenadine
Ice
Maraschino cherries to garnish

METHOD:-
Add your agave spirit to an ice filled glass & almost fill with orange juice.
Slowly pour the grenadine down the side so that it sinks to the bottom. 
Garnish & enjoy!

Whats your favourite holiday cocktail?

KIKO VITALS WELLNESS Many of you know I am a huge KIKO VITALS WELLNESS

Many of you know I am a huge fan of the @kikovitals products, so here's my unboxing of my most recent monthly delivery!

These products have made a HUGE difference in my life, & I take them every single morning religiously.

HORMONE BALANCE - I've suffered from endometriosis for many many years, & ended up with a partial hysterectomy last year. My hormones have been out of whack for years, & this has been my best discovery in terms of keeping them in sync.

DEBLOAT + GUT GLOW - I have issues with water retention & bloating from the hormonal issues, as well as stress-related IBS. This product has been my saving grace, & I don't go anywhere without it. A fabulous product to start with, as you feel results less than an hour after taking them! Plus - this works as a lovely natural anti-nausea! 

PREBIOTIC + PROBIOTIC - everyone should take a probiotic daily as a natural aid to so many different concerns (immune system, skin, gut issues,  etc). This is a fantastic product as it includes the prebiotic that the probiotic needs to function! I've noticed a big difference in my overall health when taking this daily.

Have you tried anything from @kikovitals ?
