I’m Yolanda Jeftha, a South African Beauty, Fragrance and New Mom Content Creator, yes, I juggle mascara wands and toddler tantrums! On my blog, I dish out honest reviews on beauty, skincare, perfumes and baby products. Join me as I dive into the world of must-haves, motherhood chaos, and the intoxicating world of fragrance. Let’s navigate this wild ride together and make some informed (and hopefully fun) choices!

My Middle Eastern perfume journey began back in Ma My Middle Eastern perfume journey began back in May 2024, when I decided to explore beyond the perfumes I’d always known. After trying 10 decants, one scent truly stopped me in my tracks — Lattafa Khamrah.

From the very first spray, it felt warm, rich and indulgent. The cinnamon stands out immediately, smooth and slightly sweet, melting into that deep, syrupy dates accord that makes this fragrance feel almost edible. There’s a praline-like creaminess that gives it that addictive gourmand touch but what truly makes it special is the way the vanilla, tonka and amber woods wrap everything together into this glowing, cozy warmth.

It smells like golden light on a cold day. Like comfort, confidence and quiet luxury all in one bottle.

This was my very first full-size purchase… and no matter how much my collection grows, this one will always stay. 🤍

She’s strictly a winter pull for me ❄️ the kind of scent you reach for when the air is crisp and you want to feel wrapped in something decadent.

The fragrance that started it all. ✨

Growing, evolving and trying to build my boss-babe era, all while being a present mom. This is literally my life, my babies always right beside me.

Vision board unlocked. 🥺🥺🥺

Today I’m soaking in the beauty of motherhood, the chaos, the calm, the deep gratitude for this life and the little ones who made me “Mom.”

First Mother’s Day celebration at school with my sweet Jasmine and my heart is so full! She made me the cutest little pot plant in my favourite color, purple and proudly handed it to me with the biggest smile. Moments like these remind me how deeply blessed I am to be her mama. This memory is going straight into the heart forever. 💜

I’m a huge Cetaphil fan and knew it would be a bra I’m a huge Cetaphil fan and knew it would be a brand I could trust when I became a mom. 

Jasmine had super sensitive skin as a newborn so we used the Cetaphil Pro for eczema prone skin. It cleared a skin rash we battled with for weeks. We continued using it up until she turned 1 and recently switched over the the baby sensitive range. 

I was sent these products to review and have loved using it for both her and Jayden (10 weeks old). 

Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo (R114.99 - R139.99) 
This tear free formula gently cleanses and keeps baby’s delicate skin and hair hydrated without drying. This gentle wash lathers up beautifully, so a little goes a long way. It also has a light scent which I prefer for my little ones. I especially love this as a shampoo, it washes the hair squeaky clean and doesn’t leave it dry. 

Cetaphil Baby Daily Lotion
(R114.99-R139.99)
This gentle baby lotion, formulated with Shea butter, pro vitamin B5 and essential vitamin E, is designed to moisturise and protect your baby’s skin from dryness. I love how lightweight this lotion feels, not too oily or sticky. There’s nothing worse than using a Moisturizer that doesn’t absorb easily. This keeps my little loves’ skin well moisturised. 

Cetaphil baby advance protection cream with organic calendula 
(R135-R149.99) 
A multipurpose cream formulated with organic calendula, Allantoin, Shea butter and glycerin, designed to help baby’s chaffed areas like elbows, knees, cheeks and chubby folds. Both Jasmine and Jayden have had some dryness on their cheeks since the cold started creeping in. This non sticky lightweight cream has completely cleared the dry scabby skin and have kept their skin well moisturised. I reapplied several times throughout the day and have found this to work and clear the scab more effectively. Now I just use it twice a day on problematic areas. 

I’ll say it again, Cetaphil is a trusted brand and one that sure has never disappointed me. 

Cetaphil is available at @clicks_sa and @dischem_pharmacies stores nationwide.

Wow! How quickly these two weeks have gone by. 🤯 Wow! 
How quickly these two weeks have gone by. 🤯
It’s been challenging and we honestly couldn’t have done it without our support system. 

Jayden is such a different baby and I feel so blessed that I have it a little easier this time around. I guess, it’s true what they say, no two babies are the same. 

He’s sooo chilled and sleeps really well (well, for now lol, fingers crossed it stays that way 🤞🏼

Woke up yesterday morning and my heart exploded wi Woke up yesterday morning and my heart exploded with sooo many emotions. 🥺

Our adorable little princess Jasmine turned 1 ! 

We’ve done so much in this first year together, my angel love. I think I’ve grown and changed more in the past year than I have in the rest of my life combined. My body’s been stretched, my nerves have been tested (sitting on a hospital bed as we speak 🙈) but oh how you’ve opened my heart. 🥺

You’ve made me a mom, and by doing so, I am a BRAND-NEW PERSON, a woman who has never existed before.

It’s been amazing to see the bond you have with your dad, how you’re so excited to play with him when he gets home from work and let’s not forget all the stories you tell because “you’re convinced you can talk and make complete sense” 😂
And besides, a girls first true love is her father 🥺

Happy birthday mom and dads sweet peach 🍑 
You are sooo LOVED ❤️
