Hey Gorgeous!  No, not you silly, the company, Hey Gorgeous!
They are absolutely amazing and have seriously been making the rounds for a while.  Their products are absolutely divine in both scent and quality.

I took a few minutes to run through their website and on their home page they list 10 things about them which I found really interesting and would like to share it with you:

♥  Everything we make, we make with love.
♥  Hey Gorgeous is family run. Real people. Real products.

♥  We stand by our products. They really work.
♥  We love helping people feel confident and gorgeous.
♥  We’re relatively young, but we have big dreams and amazing friends.

So with those 10 points, who wouldn’t want to try out some of their products?

At the last BWB meeting we received an awesome Cupcake Bath Bomb from them and at first, I really didn’t want to use it because… it’s a cupcake darn it.  But, after our Rain Expedition I decided that after a 6 hour drive, too little caffeine and a couple of bee stings that I needed to climb into a hot, steaming, cupcake bath bomb filled bath and just relax with my Kindle.



When I took the Cupcake out of the packaging and breathed it in, the first scent I got was floral, possibly rose and then I held it under the running water for a few seconds before my fingers started to burn off and then dropped it into the tub.

The scent took over the room and I imagine that that’s what it would smell like if I was in a rose garden, spinning around like that chick from The Sound of Music.

 

Also, it turned the water pink, so I totally felt like a princess.

When I finally managed to pull myself out of the bathtub I was so completely relaxed and my skin felt as though I was wrapped up in angel wings #TrueStory!

I absolutely adore Hey Gorgeous!  and can’t wait to get my hands on some more of their products!

Frightening how speedily time passes us by, on Saturday we had our 2nd #BWB get together which means it’s been 6 weeks since the last one already (holy purple socks on a rooster!) and it was lovely seeing all the faces behind the blogs and tweets again as well as some new ones that have joined to make up the 15 that is the Cape Town “branch”.


The deli was gorgeous and despite the food not being my lifestyle edible it looked really good and the ladies seemed to enjoy it so I’ll take their word on that but I will also not be putting strange foods into my mouth after receiving a safety go ahead from Femme Lifestyle hahahaha < I pointed out something and she said it was just spiced rice wrapped up in a leaf… a bit revealed it was pesto and that odd yogurt cheese (a napkin and plate was passed my way really quickly)

The goodie bags are always an added bonus and there aren’t always any because that’s not what it’s always about but the one that was put together for Saturday was just lovely, so many goodies in it! And as with last time momma got to pick out what she wanted as a thank you for watching master Fysh while I had a bit of kid free time with the ladies.

In our bag: Rain Africa, Hey gorgeous, Nimue, dermatologica, Ritzis chilli, bath oils, oh so heavenly cream and spray, original iced cocktails, and a heap of other goodies that I’ll be reviewing for you as I test them out.

Highlight of the day for me was something rather small… Heather and Fi gave each of us 3 strips of paper and we were to write our names on the back and then pick out three ladies there to each write a small motivational something to. Then they were handed back, sorted out and slipped into our goodie bags while we were all chatting. I’d actually forgotten about them until the lipglossed ninja tagged me on instagram with a photo of one she’d written to me (it was accidentally given back to her) letting me know what she’d written.

Words are such powerful things and we should start realising that before it’s too late. So take a leaf out of the #BWB book and go tell someone something nice – let a stranger know they look good, smile at the carguard, tell your momma you love her, let your kids know how brilliant they are or compliment your sister on her beauty and intelligence. Just go out there today with the intent of saying at least one nice thing to someone you meet…
