Kim and Khloe Kardashian at the Brutal Fruit Cranberry Launch!

When Brutal Fruit hosted the official launch party (last Friday) of the Cheeky Cranberry flavour at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town, they sure didn't hold back. What better celebs to endorse your product than the Kardashian sisters? Yes, you heard right, Kim and Khloe were here in South Africa for a few days and boy, did they create a stir. I was lucky enough to get my name on that coveted guest list and even luckier to actually meet them. As much as I would like to blog about the party and the hot new flavour, I'm just too star-struck!

Kim is absolutely beautiful in real life, as in, way hotter than she is on TV. I was surprised as to how tiny she actually is! Khloe is so much fun and just as crazy as we all know her to be. They didn't disappoint and they weren't divas at all. They posed for pictures, signed books and post cards and were just all smiles.

Girls, come back any day. We love you! Well done to Brutal Fruit for pulling off this absolutely fabulous event! Apart from the Kardashians, there were loads of other things to entertain the guests, such as a massage room, a gift corner and loads of free pink drinks! Local celebs, such as Idols presenter, Liezel van der Westhuizen, Nicky Greenwall and former Miss SA, Jo-Ann Strauss, to name a few, also attended the event.

One room in the theatre was transformed into a massage room. Foot massages by Mangwanani Spa, a counter with blushers and powders from MAC make-up, perfume testers of the new KK by Kim Kardashian and then a photo which is printed on the spot for you. They rotate the picture and edit it so that it looks as though you're sitting in a martini glass. Kim and Khloe signed my photo.

Naturally, all attention was focused on the Kardashians, so when they left the party to fly back to LA, we could finally get our drink on...

Thank you to Shabby Chic for doing our hair on such short notice! And a big thank you to Monique at Siren Design (at YDE) for gearing me with a really sexy dress!

Ok, back to reality for me!
Happy Holidays everyone!

Top 10 Christmas Gift Ideas For Women

Christmas is a festival of love and thanksgiving. We should not just love and thanks god in heaven but there are many people in this world. Sometimes people around us help us throughout our life. We do not realize this and forget to thank them. Often, these helpers are the women around us. This woman can be your mother, wife, girlfriend, daughter, sister and so on.

Christmas is the perfect time when you can thank them through gifts. You can buy them a useful gift and make theirs and your Christmas special. The gift should communicate your feelings and emotions for that person. You must add some personal touch to the gift because these women help you make you life easy and more than that meaningful.

After your mother, your wife takes equal care for you. Her gift has to be extraordinary. Buy her a kitchen appliance that will help her in her housework. An ornament is also a good idea. A candle light dinner will refresh your love bond that people often forget after marriage.

The softness of the Australia sheepskin produces a snug, cozy and form-fitting feeling. Having been made in Australia for over 200 years, UGG boots have developed into different styles, sizes and colors. As comfortable as bedroom slippers, UGG boots can be and are ususally worn outdoors.

6. 3D Crystal Sculpture - A Totally Unique & Sentimental Gift She’ll Always Treasure

A great idea for a sentimental gift is a laser etched 3D Crystal Sculpture made from one of your own photographs. That’s right, a 2D photo becomes 3 Dimensional!

The possibilities are virtually endless for something like this. You could select a romantic photo of the two of you, a picture of her with her children, her pets, a favorite vacation photo, a favorite Christmas photo and on and on. And because it’s made from crystal it will last forever and it will look good practically anywhere; on her dresser, her night stand, the mantel, her office desk. Plus it’s something totally unique and unexpected which will not only thrill her, but the Crystal Sculpture will also become a great conversation piece for guests. Unless she just doesn’t like sentimental gifts, you will not go wrong with this gift.

And the process for having your Crsytal Sculpture created is very simple. There’s just 3 easy steps; 1 - select your crystal, 2 - upload your photo, 3 - place your order.

7. Music Box Gifts

Thomas Kinkade "Garden Of Prayer" Musical Prayer Box – This beautiful porcelain music box displays Thomas Kinkade’s “Garden of Prayer” artwork and is accented with 22K gold. A private compartment inside the box holds your heartfelt prayers, and a quotation from the Bible appears beneath the lid in gleaming golden script. It plays the melody “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

8. Electronics Gift Ideas

Usually, the first thing to greet us in the morning is an alarm clock — not always a pleasant experience. But there is an alarm clock that makes waking up a pleasant experience. The Peaceful Progression Aromatherapy and Nature Sounds Wake-Up Alarm Clock is my kind of alarm clock. Thirty minutes before time to get up the process begins: a soft light glows, a faint aroma is released. Fifteen minutes later, nature sounds begin playing; there are 6 to choose from. Thirty minutes later a beeper sounds to assure you are awake. It can also be set for sound or beeper only. Now that’s a great way to start the day.

9. Cameras for the Woman

I never saw a woman who didn’t like to save memories. That is easy with The Simple Digital Camera. The 3/8″-high buttons and simplified menus make for easy straightforward operation. The camera has an 8X digital zoom, and anti-shake function that enable effortless composing of shots. The images can be uploaded to a computer via USB. For Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Mac. Problem solved—simple operation and memories saved.

10. The Genuine Turkish Bathrobe

In fine hotels everywhere, one of the amenities they provide their guests is the luxury of using The Genuine Turkish Bathrobe. You can do the same for your special lady. She’ll feel like she’s living in the lap of luxury at a 5 star hotel. The more it’s washed, the softer it gets. Another choice is The Turkish Shower Wrap. It’s also a lovely gift idea, made of the same high quality as the Turkish robes. It doesn’t come loose and fall off easily as many bath wraps do. It fastens in place and even has two pouch pockets.
