Steri Stumpie FTW

Steri Stumpie has become South Africa’s fun to love brand. Not only are their flavoured milks beyond amazing their entire brand presence in the local consumer market is fun, exciting and engaging. The Steri Stumpie account was won by Atmosphere, a PR Agency, who had immense success working alongside brands such as Kulula, Capitec Bank and Sanlam.

Steri Stumpie is actively engaging with their fans on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. Unlike other brands however, who have failed to realise that you need to reward loyalty, Steri Stumpie regularly rewards their loyal Facebook Fans and Twitter Followers. Stump fans from all over have been receiving a 6 pack goodness treat delivered to their door for a while now.

The Stumpie box contains 6 bottles of assorted flavours, dozens of badges, fake tattoos, stickers to decorate your bottles and a passport for the Republic of Steri Stumpie. I thought this was extremely amazing and was thrilled to have received one.

So the skeptics have said that sometimes “fans” and “followers” are simply there to be rewarded and once rewarded they leave. To some extent this is true with regards to iPads off course. But if you check out the Steri Stumpie Facebook Page which has 40, 846 likes, the fan engagement is relatively high. So I am pretty sure Steri Stumpie is doing something right and has become a true South African legend.

Glam Box - Luxury Cosmetics delivered to your door


I love fashion, clothing, accessories and cosmetics. So you can only imagine my surprise when I found a company which sends you a gift box filled with luxury cosmetic samples each month to help you find the products and brands you love. Glam Box recently launched in South Africa. The concept here is to subscribe for a goodie filled box to try out some cosmetic samples but also indulge in some costly goodies at a discounted sample price. I signed up for the opening special; R150 for 3 months for 3 boxes. The regular price is R100 a box. 


In the beginning I was a bit sceptical about what I would receive, but when I opened the box…I was stunned! The packaging was so beautiful. I actually hesitated to open it in fear of ruining its delicate beauty. 


I finally decided to open it and to my surprise the goodies that awaited me were awesome. Revlon Top Speed Nail Enamel (full size), Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, Elixir Skincare Cream, Smashbox Hyperlash Mascara and Twinings Tea Infusion.... Can you say WOW?!


I am so happy with the goodies I received and cannot wait to start trying them out. If you are a cosmetic maniac like me then subscribe to Glam Box, its totally worth it.

P.S. - Sharing a Glam Box with your bestie who is also fashion obsessed makes the experience even more worth it!

Indulgence via the UK Emporium

When someone like me, who loves shopping, is stuck behind a desk most of the day the only alternative is online shopping. It’s not as fun as being in crazy shopper filled malls but it still does the trick. I went through a group buying phase of buying almost every deal that came my way but alas that slowly faded. Recently however I came across a post by Robyn Hobson who had purchased some yummy goodies from the UK Emporium. The UK Emporium stocks British products that cannot be bought in South Africa. Being the chocolate lover that I am, I decided to splurge on some goodies. Although I have never indulged in those particular treats before, the idea of receiving something is always such a delight.



After three days I received my treats. The delivery guy (which had a charming British accent) was extremely friendly and he just added that personal touch to the entire experience. I indulged immediately!! The choccies were so good and I am definitely going to order more soon. Check out the UK Emporium and start indulging with me.
