Took my @therealcrystalbirch Bae Beret out for its maiden voyage today: a much-needed catch up lunch with @anjawintour 🫶🏼

It’s two and a half weeks until @hyroxsa. Am I ready? I honestly have no idea. There are still so many unknowns: muscle fatigue on the day, but also the adrenaline! I do know this: training for it now means that I am the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been. I’m going to give it my best shot, but even if I don’t make it - I’m still going to be 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I’m pretty low-maintenance beauty-wise: only really getting my hair and nails done, and while I’m not willing to give this up…I am more than happy to save a few 💸 where I can. I tried @boabeautybar for the first time this week and, was honestly - so happy. I went to the Westlake branch (conveniently around the corner from my gym), and paid R255 for gel soak-off and reapplication. 10/10, no notes, I’ll be back.

Dresses for R199? Sign me up. Sale season can actually be the perfect opportunity to pick up items that work across more than one season - see what I picked up at @miladyssa this week. The sale is happening online and in store until 30 June 2025.

How to feel invincible? Cold water plunges in the depths of winter - with friends who understand the need for the endorphins and mental-health benefits that come with yelling and shrieking into the waves @jaclynclare1 🫶🏼

With a month to go until @hyroxsa, it was the perfect time to benchmark my progress (and readiness) with a run-through at @hyroxbypeak today. Whether or not I complete the event next month (and I will try my absolute best!) - I am the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been, and for that - I’m so proud and grateful.

Watch to see what I’ll be in for on the day - and to see a normal body move, squish, bulge and juggle as it works hard 💪🏼

The biggest surprises? How easy(!) the sled push and sled pull felt, and how much higher the wall ball target was than I expected. Definitely know what to work on for the next month!

Introducing the perfect boots for rainy days - and beyond. The new zipped ankle boots from @froggie.shoes ensure you’re comfortable (thanks padding underfoot) - and able to walk through on any wet surface confidently, thanks to non-slip soles. Sounds like a win-win to me ☔️ #gifted

A truly wholesome weekend that deserves to be remembered. A 5km run. Time with friends. Birthdays. Cold swims, hot pizza. A friendly octopus. Autumn. Happiness and gratitude all round.

Five years condensed into 10 minutes! I try to speak about:
- Why and how my journey started
- Calorie counting and strength training
- Health issues and weight-loss stalling
- Intermittent fasting
- What I eat
- Motivation vs discipline

I hope you find this helpful - I am not a medical professional; this is not advice - it’s the personal journey I’ve been on over the past 5 years.

If you have any additional questions, pop them below and I could do a follow up reel 💪🏼

Comfort and style? I’m never going to be the person who chooses between them. I recently (re)discovered @froggie.shoes - a South African icon that had been proudly making leather shoes in Durban for over 70 years. And now? An entirely new range of styles for the modern woman (Me! And you!) Use the code CANDICE10 for a 10% when shopping via their website. I’m excited to partner with them to share a few looks to inspire you over the coming weeks.

You asked, I delivered! Well, actually @thehansandlloydcoffeeco delivered. A little secret - they make the most incredible Belgian waffles (and coffee.) Do it. You won’t be disappointed.

Keeping it easy and classic for a Monday with today’s OOTD, featuring a dress from @mrpfashion that I wear everywhere from the beach to the office. Gotta love a multipurpose buy!

Another day of outfits - today, we have an MVP of a dress from @mrpfashion - and, I step out of my comfort zone with a pair of loafers from @froggie.shoes.

This is not sponsored in anyway. When I found out @lindtsa was launching a new Dubai Style Chocolate-inspired flavour (Pistachio and Kadayif Pastry) - I knew I had to get my hands on a slab. It launched in stores today…and, R249 later…what did I think? Watch to find out!

The next installment of #30daysofoutfits is here! I tried to pull off the cool-girl “jersey and slip skirt” look, and don’t think I could…so resorted to jeans. Let me know what you think?
