About Me

My name is Charlene and I am the editor of Pretty Please Charlie.

I am a 40 year old, dog-loving, wine drinking, chocolate eating, technologically impaired, wife and mom of one. Family and friends come first. Always. I love sushi, rock music, tattoos, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, all forms of dance and people who are considerate to strangers. And I live in Cape Town. I am passionate about make-up and skincare, but that has nothing to do with my day job. I love trying new products and treatments and telling you all about it. That is why I started Pretty Please Charlie.

Since embarking on my blogging journey in 2012, my blog and I have grown considerably. I have also started to write more about parenting, lifestyle and fashion.

I write about products and services that I have enjoyed myself or would love to experience. If I feel that it will add value to your life, I will post about it. I want to keep this a happy place, so expect to read the words ‘love’, ‘fabulous’ and ‘gorgeous’ often. If I don’t like it, I don’t write about it.

I truly hope you enjoy your time here.

xoxo
