On the 18th of September, we hosted our very first Pamper Mom Pretty Durban at Managwanani high tea room in Sibaya.
The day was dedicated to pampering, high tea and lots of goodies thanks to our amazing sponsors!
Pamper Mom Pretty was an event I started in 2014, you can read about the event here.
It’s an event I created to bring moms together to relax, mingle and be introduced to different brands.
I’m truly blessed! I work with amazing brands and people who don’t even question me about the event and said yes immediately.
This event was about spoiling our moms and moms to be, I think our sponsors did a fabulous job at that. Each goodie bag was filled with products from sponsors who carefully chose the items for mom and baby. We even had raffle prizes worth thousands of rands!
A BIG THANK YOU TO:
EVERY MOM WHO ATTENDED.
You made the event a success and because of you, I will keep doing what I am doing. To all our pregnant moms, I wish you a safe delivery and recovery. Remember I’m always here to chat about products and my experience.
MY HUSBAND WHO IS MY PILLAR OF STRENGTH.
MY MOM AND COUSIN WHO HELPED ME PREPARE FOR THE EVENT.

POKKELOKKIE CLOTH NAPPIES
Pokkelokkie makes cloth nappies and accessories from hemp. I aim at making cloth nappies affordable and doable for moms (and dads). I love hemp. It is an extremely absorbent material, is soft against baby’s bum, drys super fast and is durable. Pokkelokkie has a few different types of nappies, all made from hemp. The nappies are well suited to all ages starting from newborns right up to toddlers. Other goodies include hemp nursing pads for mom and cloth wipes made from flannel for baby’s bum.
