The Beginner’s Guide To Decluttering A Home

September 24, 2020 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

So, to say that I like things organised, lined up and neat-looking would be about as understated as Donald Trump’s hair. Sadly, as much as I would have loved to be a care-free, easy breezy Rachel, I’m definitely more of an “if it’s not a right angle, it’s a wrong angle” Monica, and that’s just the way it is. Let me start this post then by sharing with you the binge-worthy Netflix series I’m mildly obsessed with right now. It’s […]

why I’m hopping on the celery juice bandwagon

September 3, 2020 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

I first heard about the Celery Juice Craze some time ago, from a friend who is a private chef and rather aux fait with what the ever-manicured, athleisure-wearing Atlantic Seaboard crowd are into, at any given time. Suffice it to say, I was interested… but not convinced. Even though I have always been inclined towards a more holistic approach to health than what conventional medicine allows and have seen first-hand the power of the mind-body-spirit connection when it comes to wellness, […]

The Skinny On Getting Skinny: Weight Loss Hacks That Work

December 14, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

So, let me start by saying that – whilst I am truly thankful for all I have and wholeheartedly believe in keeping an attitude of gratitude – the Naturally Skinny Gene is not really a part of my DNA. As Britney would put it, perhaps rather bluntly but liberatingly honest, nonetheless: if I “want a hot body”, I have to “work b*tch”. To the detriment of my close girlfriends, who either get dragged into my laser-focused mania from time to time […]

Why You Probably Have a Leaky Gut & Really Need To Know About It

November 30, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

A little bit about leaky gut (it’s not as gross as it sounds) If you’re at all interested in holistic health or modern approaches to wellbeing, you will no doubt have heard or read about the term, “leaky gut syndrome”. Essentially, leaky gut syndrome (or “intestinal hyperpermeability”) is a common condition that develops as a consequence of intestinal tight junction malfunction. These “tight junctions” are the gateway between your intestines and what is allowed to pass into your blood stream.  Your tight […]

How I Learned to Embrace Imperfection Through The Concept Of Wabi Sabi

April 13, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

I was recently introduced by a close family friend to the super cool Japanese concept of “wabi-sabi”. During an impromptu “pop-in” to my parents’ place, where Lynda and my mother were enjoying espressos and rearranging furniture, I rather strongly  suggested that the way-too-visible air-conditioning unit in the lounge, amongst some rather nice pieces of art and a shiny black piano, might warrant a relocation. Lynda looked at me, with a knowing grin on her beautiful face, and simply said “no, […]

Why I’m Obsessed with Marie Kondo’s World-Famous Decluttering Method

February 23, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

It was a few months ago that I found myself browsing the book section on Amazon (I must confess, I always find book stores – whether online or offline – much like pharmacies or, as the Americans will call them, drug stores. There’s something about spending time in them, wandering around aimlessly, that makes you realise all the things you never knew you really needed). Maybe that’s just me (although I know my sister feels the same about pharmacies: we […]

How I Finally Achieved A Clear Complexion

February 16, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

Ok, so skin problems (especially adult acne or any acne for that matter) certainly don’t classify as a glamorous topic. But, while this blog certainly reflects my love of all things glamorous, it is – more importantly and over-archingly – about sharing helpful hints and life hacks with those that want to look their best, be their best and, ultimately, live their best lives. I am not a hoarder (as evidenced by my fascination with Marie Kondo and her book, “The Life-Changing Magic of […]

The Life-Changing Effects of Transcendental Meditation

January 31, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

My Introduction to Transcendental Meditation  Meditation (in its general form) is something I only recently cared to start learning about. I am almost embarrassed to say that the whole thing used to sound like a whole lot of hippie hogwash to me; something only fruitarian, barefoot individuals who don’t believe in shampoo and don’t have day jobs, were into. Boy, was I wrong. Especially considering what I know now: that numerous captains of industry  and the cream of Hollywood’s crop (including Jerry […]

Hopefully Life-Changing Advice For Itchy Scratchy Dog Owners

December 9, 2014 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

So, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything – in fact, it’s been a whole year. I’ve decided it’s high time to post something again and, in the spirit of Christmas, I wanted to share some advice with those of you that love your pets as much as I do; advice that could hopefully change the quality of your dog’s life and, in so doing, make your life a little easier too. Meet Kimbey: my ten-year old Maltese Boomer […]

CPT’s Best Mobile Massage

August 19, 2013 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

I find the idea of traveling to a spa for a massage, only to get up after 60 or 90 minutes of near-comatose bliss (to get dressed, make payment, pay for parking) almost completely counter-productive. Except, of course, when I’m staying at some isolated resort on some exotic island and getting a massage is likely the most ‘active’ thing I’ll do all day;) To me, no amount of classical background music, fluffy white robes or spa-induced zen can compete with the […]
