Bekostigbaar. Pragtig en skoonheid wat jy verdien
Wat jy dra, is hoe jy jouself aan die wêreld voorstel, veral vandag wanneer menslike kontakte so vinnig verloop. Mode is kitstaal. Mode is gemaak om onmodies te word. Ek is 'n medepligtige om vroue te help kry wat hulle wil hê. Dit is nie vir my so belangrik om ’n stap voor ’n modetendens te wees nie. Wat saak maak, is om altyd vooruit te gaan. Skoonheid is perfek in sy onvolmaakthede, so jy moet net met die onvolmaakthede gaan.
Ontsluit jou glans - wees aantrekliker
Mense het gesê om klere binne-buite te maak is nie reg nie. Ek het nie saamgestem nie, want klere wat binne na buite is, is so mooi soos 'n katedraal. Vee die negatiewe uit; beklemtoon die positiewe! Ek is veral dankbaar dat ek my eie styl oor die dekades heen kon behou, ten spyte van die vele veranderinge wat in die wêreld van mode en in sy besigheid plaasgevind het.
✹ Dis moeilik om alles te balanseer.
✹ Hulle het uitdrukking, beskeidenheid, seksappèl, eenvoud.
✹ Om onvervangbaar te wees, moet 'n mens altyd anders wees.
Selfliefde kom in alle skakerings van rooi en pienk en bruin
Jy is net so goed soos jou laaste versameling, wat 'n enorme druk is. Ek wens ek het blou jeans uitgevind. Hulle het uitdrukking, beskeidenheid, seksappèl, eenvoud – al waarvoor ek hoop in my klere. Eers het ek 'n rok gemaak omdat ek swanger was en ek die mooiste swanger vrou wou wees. Toe maak ek 'n trui omdat ek een wou hê wat nie soos enigiemand anders s'n is nie. Jy moet getrou bly aan jou erfenis; dit is waaroor jou handelsmerk gaan. Ek is oortuig daarvan dat daar luukse in eenvoud kan wees.
Stinging Nettle *
Known as an effective hormone balancer due to its unique composition of bioactive compounds that interact with the skin's natural barriers and sebaceous glands, which play a significant role in hormonal signaling and balance. Topical application allows for the direct absorption of its beneficial compounds, such as phenols, that have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These compounds can modulate the local production of certain hormones on the skin, helping to regulate issues like acne, which is often hormonally driven.
Comfrey Leaf *
Know to stimulate cell proliferation, thereby accelerating the process of skin repair and renewal. When the skin's surface is renewed more rapidly, it results in the diminishment of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin appear younger and more elastic. Specifically, we use Symphytum tuberosum, a specific variety of comfrey, due to its significantly low levels of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) compared to other commonly used species.
Saw Palmetto *
Widely heralded in natural health circles for its significant benefits for men, particularly in the realm of prostate health and hair loss prevention. This palm-like plant native to the southeastern United States contains bioactive components that have been shown to inhibit the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to prostate enlargement and male pattern baldness. By mitigating this conversion, Saw Palmetto directly addresses two of the most common health concerns among aging men, promoting a healthier prostate and potentially slowing down hair loss.
Sarsaparilla *
increasingly recognised for its profound benefits in men's health, primarily due to its ability to mimic the effects of natural anabolic steroids.

Clary Sage Oil *
Particularly beneficial during periods of hormonal fluctuation such as menopause, menstruation, or times of stress, where the body's natural estrogen levels may be unbalanced.
