If you’ve ever quietly slipped out of a party without saying goodbye to everyone in the room, chances are you’ve done what’s known as an Irish exit.
Wedding bells are ringing for filmmaker Mandla N and Miss Universe 2025 Melissa Nayimuli. The two have officially solidified their love with successful lobola negotiations.
Feeling your absolute best on your wedding day is non-negotiable. We asked Loredana Loots, an integrative nutrition and holistic health coach, for her advice on what to eat before and on your wedding day:
“With only a few days to go and a whirlwind of emotions, arrangements and final prep, you may (understandably) not give much thought about what you are eating and drinking. What you consume actually has a major impact on how feel – physically, mentally and emotionally. Every couple deserves to look and feel like a million bucks on their special day. These handy food secrets are a must!
Technology is undoubtedly a massive part of our lives in this day and age. Our phones are practically extensions of our arms and we can’t go without checking in to our social media once a day. Most of our memories are made by captured moments on our digital devices and not by living in those moments. This can frustrate people who would rather be doing the latter, especially when it comes to significant occasions such as weddings.
Enchant your guests with a floral seating chart that’s in full bloom! Just be sure to let your stationer know your plan, so that they can create the design accordingly.
It’s your nearest and dearests’ wedding coming up and you’ve been given a plus one. With no partner, you have to pick a lucky someone to accompany you to the big bash.
It’s important to remember that it’s not just a plus one, but rather someone you know you can have fun with. The wedding is an important day for your loved ones as it sees the union of two people ready to tie the knot.
So how do you choose the perfect partner to bring along?
Not sure what the wedding guest dress code means exactly? Here are some guidelines from black tie to garden party weddings.
Let’s be honest, we all know a few. Wedding superstitions have been around for centuries. The question is, do you believe in them? Not seeing your loved one the night before the big day, lest the groom changes his mind at the last minute, is a widely-known superstition.
Here are a few superstitions you may not have come across:
Sensitive and compromised skin is more common than ever. Pollution, stress, over-exfoliation, harsh chemicals, actives and environmental extremes can weaken the skin barrier, leaving skin feeling tight, reactive, red or easily irritated. For many women, the challenge is finding skincare that is effective yet gentle, delivering visible improvement without triggering sensitivity.

This is where Beauté Pacifique Dermatology offers a reassuring and clinically proven solution. Developed in close collaboration with dermatologists, the brand is known for its ability to strengthen fragile skin rather than overwhelm it. The focus is simple but powerful: support the skin’s natural biology so it can repair, protect and calm itself. Try their international promise: Younger skin..or your money back!…

Unlike many products designed for sensitive skin that only soothe temporarily, Beauté Pacifique works at a cellular level. Its formulations are built around skin-identical vitamins, antioxidants and barrier-supporting ingredients that help rebuild the skin’s protective layer. When the barrier is restored, skin becomes less reactive, better hydrated and more resilient over time — results that are clinically documented rather than cosmetic claims.
For vegan skincare lovers and those seeking a more natural approach, the SuperFruit range is a true standout. This range harnesses the power of antioxidant-rich, natural superfruits such as lingonberry, sea buckthorn and cloudberry, known for their ability to calm inflammation, neutralise environmental stress and strengthen sensitive skin. The SuperFruit products are 100% vegan, fragrance-balanced for tolerance, and ideal for skin that reacts easily or feels chronically compromised.

What makes Beauté Pacifique Dermatology unique is that “natural” never means ineffective. The SuperFruit range combines plant-based actives with medical-grade formulation standards, ensuring stability, bioavailability and real results. Skin is soothed, redness is reduced and moisture levels improve, without clogging pores or irritating delicate skin.
For anyone struggling with sensitivity, redness or a weakened skin barrier, Beauté Pacifique Dermatology proves that skincare can be clinically proven, naturally inspired and beautifully gentle, offering calm, comfortable skin that looks healthy again.
