Motley Crew – the coolest tween toiletry range in town

When I spotted the Motley Crew range on social media, I knew it was going to be a hit. Not only do the products look super cool, they fit into a market that hasn’t really been catered for. I am proud to tell you more about Motley Crew…

Motley Crew – the coolest tween toiletry range in town

Some of you may think that tweens are a bit young to be thinking about face wash and roll-on, but I think it’s the perfect age to start introducing self care products.

Why choose Motley Crew Body Brew?

Motley Crew Body Brew

Motley Crew products are age-appropriate, specific for tweens. We provide toiletries with the needs of kids between 8 and 13 yrs in mind. Our brand has a fun and fashionable character backed by professional and expert products made specifically for this age group. We aim to provide all you kids with products that are cool and that gives you a sense of ownership – your first step to managing your personal hygiene.

Cara’s been washing her face with face wash for quite some time now. I am very strict when it comes to wearing sunscreen every day and I prefer that she doesn’t use bar soap to remove the sunscreen, dirt and grime of the day. She also uses face cream which up to now has been aqueous cream.

The above process has often been met with sighs and grunts, but now that Cara has her own range of skin care products, she is happy to wash and moisturise. Winning!!

Motley Crew Body Brew

Cara loves her Motley Crew Glo Up Face Wash and Whassup Face Cream. In her words: ‘it smells nice and feels soft’. I love the products for so many more reasons. The face wash is soap and sulphate free, foams up beautifully and leaves Cara’s skin clean without feeling stripped or dried out. I’ve tried it too and it’s a great foaming face wash. The face cream is light, oil and fragrance free and contains soothing aloe vera. It’s lovely. Again I speak from personal experience too.

Motley Crew Body Brew

We also received a Vanilla Sunshine Roll On. It’s not really something Cara needs just yet, but my mom grabbed it as soon as she heard the word ‘vanilla’. This range actually caters for all ages ;)

The Motley Crew Body Brew range has so much more that we’re dying to try. Think shampoo, conditioner, body cream, hair gel and hair detangling spray. All packaged to look super cool. What makes it even better is that Motley Crew is proudly South African and they don’t test on animals.

These products are available at major Clicks outlets in the Hand & Body aisle as well as online and they retail between R19,95 to R64,95.

Happy shopping!

Make It Magical – we built Fairy Houses!

Magic, pixie dust and fairies… do you believe? I hope so. And where do these little magical and mischievous creatures live? In a Make It Magical Fairy House of course.

Make It Magical – we built Fairy Houses!

The ladies of Make It Magical recently introduced us to a world of whimsy and fairy fun. We built fairy houses and it truly was one of the most memorable and magical days we have ever had.

Make It Magical

Blessed By Fairy Magic – Poem by Christine K. Trease

Somewhere ‘twixt the dusk and dawn,
entwined in checkerboard slumber,
the faeries chance to grant your dreams
gathered in joyful number.
Pixie dust strewn through the air
spreads lighthearted pleasure.
Faeries join to make your life
joyful beyond measure.
Impish magic and shimmering wings,
eyes that flash like lightening,
granting wishes to the world,
shining ever brightening.
My wish for you, my fellow man
glad tidings and make merry,
may your life be adorned with treasures untold
from the blessings of magical faeries.

When we were asked if we wanted to spend the day building fairy houses with Make It Magical, we were excited, but what we experienced exceeded all our expectations.

I introduce to you Make It Magical Fairy House Building Workshops:

A Make it Magical workshop is an invitation to explore your creativity by indulging your childhood fantasies of fairies, gnomes and any other magical character from a make believe realm.
Make It Magical invites you to a world where your imagination takes over and your hands magically bring those fantasies to life.
All you need is a little bit of this, a smidgen of that and a touch of fairy dust.

Welcome to a world of enchantment and whimsy.

The Make It Magical team had the kids (and grown-ups) enchanted from they moment the arrived at our home. The girls struggled to give the ladies time and space to set up… they were just too excited! Then it was time.

We first had to choose a basic cottage…

Then the magic started. The girls immediately dug in. I, on the other hand, struggled a bit. Yes, I built one too! I was so overwhelmed by all the beautiful little treasures that I didn’t know where to begin. But when I started, I didn’t want to stop.

There were shakers filled with beautiful green grass, bark, moss, pebbles, stones, glitter, stickers, figurines, fake snow; the list is endless.

The lovely team guided us through the whole process. They gave us advice and ideas without stifling our own creativity. They actually brought out creativity and imagination that I didn’t know I had.

And they were so great with the kids. The girls didn’t want them to leave.

We had such a wonderful time with Make It Magical, that we are booking them for a birthday party next year. Yes, they do parties! They girls are also getting Fairy House Kits for Christmas. Better order yours soon if you want to do the same.

Thank you Make It Magical for a wonderful day. And for making me believe in fairies again. We’ll see you soon!

“Make it Magical” is more than just a name or a workshop: it is an invitation to play.
