I have been salivating over pictures and waiting months to try @benandbunsa out!

They recommended their wicked chilli cheese burger. Made up of a beef patty, cheddar cheese, marmalade onions, homemade sauce, sliced jelapenos and jalapeño poppers on a brioche bun. The bun is soft to the bite. The patty fresh and well cooked. The cheese overflows in every direction from every ingredient. And the chilli – if I may say so – is the cherry on the top!

Of course we also had to try the Benedict. I tried the tex mex egg Benedict – poached eggs, cocktail sausages and guacamole on an English muffin topped with sriracha Hollandaise sauce and sliced mixed chillies. WOW! What a combination. My personal preference is that I enjoyed it without the sausages. But everything complements each other beautifully with the sauce and chillies adding the perfect touch! So filling and all you need for breakfast!

We also enjoyed the farmyard breakfast with masala eggs, toast, baked beans, tomatoes and cocktail sausages.

The berry delight pancake stack was made up of soft and fluffy pancakes topped with golden syrup drizzle, cream and berries! A wholesome breakfast and such a treat.

Sh’zen hair mask #review

My hair often feels dry and knotty due to colour damage. I recently was gifted the Sh’zen repair and rescue deep strengthening hair repair mask with argan and rice bran oils.

This tub lasts a few months and a little goes a long way. I may have used too much ? as I lathered it all over my hair from root to tip and decided to leave it on for half an hour before I showered.

Wow! It left my hair feeling absolutely soft and tangle free. Even my hairdresser kept asking what I used because of the great effect and aromatic smell too!

Instructions say to use on wet hair and leave on for a few minutes. But I find it works just as well on dry hair too and you can leave it on as long as you would like – even overnight!

This luxurious hair mask is the ultimate defence and recovery treatment to restore strength and shine to dry, damaged or chemically treated hair. Suitable for all hair types, the mask is formulated with nurturing ingredients that protect and revitalise hair, leaving it stronger, softer and shinier.

Currently on special – 1 for R209 or 2 for R329.

Contact Sumaiya on +27 84 578 6786 to order. Courier nationwide.

I recently visited Nabila who is a mindshift consultant and uses applied kinesiology which uses your own body’s response to detect any mental, emotional, physical and spiritual blocks.

Everyone has blocks pertaining to certain aspects of their lives, traumas due to past situations or even just a set way of thinking that they struggle to change.

I wanted to address my main concerns – past labour trauma – and to help me prepare for a new baby while balancing life with a toddler. I also had some physical concerns such as very sore bleeding gums which I attributed to pregnancy. However this was not the case as it seemed to have an emotional link instead!

Nabila helped me to identify the fears, blocks and traumas I had and to release and clear them. I even took a little sniff of some lovely oils to help me “clear my chakras”. After the session I felt a little tired but very much lighter and relieved. I felt stronger and calmer with a fresh new mindset. And amazingly enough my very sore and bleeding gums completely stopped hurting and bleeding on the spot!

I would 100% recommend Nabila to anyone who feels a bit stuck or blocked in any way. Her experience and techniques are truly magical and helpful.

Nabila Ismail has almost 10 years experience in using a technique called applied kinesiology in her Mindshift consulting practice. Applied kinesiology makes use of your own body’s response to detect emotional, mental, physical, spiritual and energetic blocks. Once identified, Nabila uses a number of skills that she has learnt over the years to assist you to feel noticeably better! Her “tool-box” includes:
-Identification of fears that hold you back
-Identifying blocks in major energy centers in the body
-Assisting with emotional processing of difficult emotions including anxiety, anger, procrastination
-Trauma release
-Visualisation and meditation tools

Say hello to some to the best pancakes you will ever taste in your life. No exaggeration. These pancakes are truly unique and will have you wanting more!
Received an epic pancake platter that was not only stunning and picturesque but absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious too. The pancakes are really thin, folded tightly, are light and easy to eat. They are also stuffed and topped with their respective fillings definitely giving them an added oomph ?
These are the flavours I received:
Burfee pancake – my favourite. Game changer. Filled with actual burfee and topped with burfee sauce and coloured almond nibs. Not too rich. Just perfect! ??
Chocolate brownie Pancake – filled with innovation and chocolate brownie! Topped with chocolate sauce and nibbed nuts. Sinful!
Oreo Crumble – filled topped with crushed oreo biscuit and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Yum!
Peppermint Aero – filled with peppermint aero and topped with it as well as a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Decadent.
Flake – filled and topped with flake and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Simple yet so elite!

@the_farmmillbakery sent over some samples of their new products that they will be launching at @thehalaalnightmarket
So well presented and almost too pretty to eat! I received their strawberry creme eclairs, double chocolate mousse cake and pistachio praline cake.
My absolute favourite was the double chocolate mousse cake. A layer of moist chocolate sponge topped with white chocolate mousse and milk chocolate mousse. The white mousse is the perfect addition adding to the richness of the cake but cutting through the milk chocolate! Double delicious.
The strawberry creme eclairs were fresh and crisp with a subtle taste of strawberry creme chantilly inside and to add the cherry on the top – drizzled with decadent white and ruby chocolate. Perfectly bite sized and such a treat to eat!
The pistachio praline cake is topped with a rich pistachio frosting and filled with pistachio praline. It is very sweet and a must for anyone with a sweet tooth! It’s decorated very elegantly too ?
Follow @the_farmmillbakery on Instagram and be sure to get your goodies from them at @thehalaalnightmarket they specialise in “heat and eat” products, pure butter pastries and “thaw and eat” desserts. Pretoria based.

@le_kreamery #review

Visited @le_kreamery in Eldo Square yesterday and as always – they did not disappoint!
For drinks I enjoyed a cucumber granita. Refreshing. sweet and flavorful for these hot summer days!
 My go to healthy order is The Ritz Salad  – feta cheese, lettuce, kalamata olives, purple onions and cucumber served with a special salad dressing. I always request peri chicken fillet and avocados to be added on. Nutritious, filling and for me a must have every time I visit!
One of the best pastas I’ve ever had hands down is the LK Peri Pasta – white sauce with mushrooms and chicken. I requested it spicy. It was creamy and absolutely hit the spot.
We also indulged in the Mumbai sandwich filled with aloo fry (spicy potato) and Gouda cheese blended in homemade chutneys! The Indian flavors complement each other so well and it feels like there’s a Bhangra party in your mouth ?
For my toddler we opted for a margarita pizza which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Saucy and cheesy with a thin crispy base ?
We were too full but had to opt for at least one dessert. White chocolate is my Favourite and we dived into the white chocolate overload waffle which was absolutely rich while the waffle was crisp and tender at the same time ?
There’s still so many mouthwatering items on the menu I haven’t tried and I can’t wait to indulge in them all! There are so many options – something for everyone.
Follow @le_kreamery on instagram and don’t forget their delectable ice cream @gelatokremino they have stores in Eldo, Benoni and Sandton too! ?
