As the temperatures drop and the air gets drier, your skin and senses deserve a little extra TLC. Winter has a way of stealing moisture from the skin and dulling that usual glow, but it doesn't have to.
This season, it's all about restoring radiance and wrapping yourself in warmth, starting with two essentials: the new Vaseline Cera-Glow range and the timeless Chanel Chance perfume.
Skin First: Lock In That Winter Glow
Dry, flaky skin is one of winter's most unwelcome guests. That's where the new Vaseline Cera-Glow range steps in.

Infused with ceramides and Vaseline Jelly, this range is designed to deeply hydrate while strengthening the skin's moisture barrier. Unlike heavier winter creams that can feel greasy, Cera-Glow absorbs beautifully and leaves your skin soft, supple, and luminous.
Instead of just bringing the viral Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Gel Oil to Mzansi, they have made one specifically for South African skin.
Containing replenishing oil and natural oils (Vit E and almond oil) for soft and radiant skin. In addition, it is uniquely powered by pro-ceramides for a stronger skin barrier and a healthy glow.
It's the perfect daily dose of glow your winter skin craves and the subtle, clean scent means it won't clash with your signature fragrance.
Fragrance Finish
Once your skin is moisturised, don't forget the finishing touch: a spritz of Chanel Chance. This elegant, floral fragrance adds a playful sophistication to your winter beauty routine.

With notes of pink pepper, jasmine, and patchouli, Chanel Chance is vibrant but not overpowering, making it ideal for those who love to smell good without being too loud.
"The scent lingers gently on scarves and sweaters, leaving a trail of allure wherever you go," said Olivier Polge Chanel In-House Perfumer-Creator
"The original idea behind Chance was a state of mind that we interpreted in very different styles.
A new colour in the Chance palette. After pink, green, yellow and orange comes purple. The shade of magic and lightness tinged with mystery and nobility. Rebellious energy conceals depth and dazzling power behind its capers. This new creation by Polge is a marvel of paradoxes.
Pro Tip: For a longer-lasting fragrance, apply your fragrance to your pulse points right after moisturising. Hydrated skin holds the scent better, so this combo is more than just a luxury, it's smart layering.

Tweed's youthful makeover resurrects symbol of Scottish heritage
Harris Tweed weaver Alexander MacLeod works behind his weaving loom in his atelier at his home, on the Isle of Scalpay, in the Outer Hebrides, northern Scotland, on April 28, 2025. 'When you see tweed on the catwalks, you'd never think it came from here,' laughs Alexander MacLeod, a 38-year-old former banker, as he sits behind his loom in an old barn on the banks of a loch in Scotland. "When you see tweed on the runway, you don't expect it to come from here," joked 38-year-old former banker Alexander MacLeod as he set up his loom in a converted barn on the shores of a Scottish loch. MacLeod became a weaver two years ago, joining residents on the islands of Lewis and Harris, off Scotland's northwest coast, in helping to rejuvenate the tweed industry after a significant period of decline. "It's a good thing to keep the tradition going," he said. Tweed is a symbol of Scottish heritage and has "always been part of the culture" on the Outer Hebrides, added MacLeod, who hails from the island of Scalpay, which is connected to Harris by a bridge. It's now "an attractive sector to be in", he said. He left the Hebrides for seven years to work in banking but the pull of his roots proved too strong. During the day, McLeod now works for a small local cosmetics company. In the evenings, he puts on a podcast, usually about espionage, and patiently begins to weave. Only the steady hum of his machine disturbs the calm of the old stone barn. Harris tweed, traditionally made from 100 percent wool, is the only fabric protected by a 1993 Act of Parliament. It must be "handwoven by the islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides, finished in the Outer Hebrides, and made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides". The weaver spoke of his "satisfaction" once the tweed is finished. The fabric, once associated with the British aristocracy, then goes to the spinning mill for a quality control check, where the slightest flaw is flagged up. Finally, it receives the precious "Harris Tweed" stamp - a globe topped with a cross - certifying the fabric's provenance and authenticity, issued by the Harris Tweed Authority (HTA). The tweed then leaves the island to be purchased by discerning companies abroad, including luxury brands such as Christian Dior, Chanel, and Gucci. Several sneaker brands such as Nike, New Balance, and Converse have also used it for limited edition products. The traditional staples are jackets, caps, and bags, but the fabric can also be used for furniture. There are 140 weavers, according to the HTA, which launched a recruitment campaign in 2023 and offered workshops to learn the trade following a wave of retirements. This know-how, often passed down from generation to generation, is now being nurtured by a different profile of weaver. "It's nice to see younger people coming in," said Kelly MacDonald, director of operations at the HTA. "When I joined the industry 22 years ago, there was a severe period of decline. I was wondering: 'Is there going to be an industry anymore?'" But the industry is now enjoying a "resurgence" and "significant growth", with more than 580 000 metres of tweed produced in 2024. "We are always looking at new markets," she said, and tweed is now exported to Korea, Japan, Germany, France and other countries. It is no longer dependent on the US market, as it once was, and should be largely shielded from the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. Tweed has "modernised", said Cameron MacArthur, who works at Carloway Mill, one of the three spinning mills in the west of the Isle of Lewis. He is only 29, but has already worked there for 12 years. The mill, with its large machines, looks as if it hasn't changed for decades. But MacArthur has seen it evolve to embrace a younger workforce and newer fabrics, meaning it is no longer just the ultra-classic Prince of Wales check or dark colours that are on offer. "Nowadays, we're allowed to make up our own colours... and we're just doing different things with it, modernising it, making it brighter," he said, showing off rolls of turquoise blue and fuchsia pink. "We're so busy... it never used to be like that," he said, adding that he was "proud" to be working with the local product. MacDonald said tweed was an antidote to environmentally unfriendly "fast fashion". "How nice to own a product where you can actually look on a map to a tiny island and say, 'That's where my jacket was made.' That's so rare now, and I think people really engaged with that," he said. "Every stage of the production has to happen here, but from start to finish, it is a really long process. We are the epitome of slow fashion." | AFP

The man has never stopped Since that verse on "Chance" in 2006🔥 — Jamie Cubez (@JCubez) May 29, 2025 The 44-year-old rapper's impact in the hip hop game has been undeniable as well as remarkable, with his thought-provoking lyrics and his distinct 'skhanda' flow, his music has resonated with many fans across the country. His ability to tackle complex social issues and tell stories that reflect the experiences of many South Africans has earned him a loyal following. Songs like 'Push It' and 'SETE' showcase his versatility, which has also garnered him global recognition with multiple BET Awards nominations. Additionally, the 'Let Me Cook' hitmaker has been in the industry for over ten years and has managed to keep his relevance and consistency, staying true to hip-hop without flinching. He started out as part of the trio Teargas and even after going solo, he kept producing fire music that still resonates with fans to this day. Not everyone agrees with this assessment, however. Some fans argued that there are other talented rappers in South Africa who could potentially rival K.O's skills and popularity. They point to artists who have also made significant contributions to the local hip hop scene and have a strong following. 'KO? Nah, bro. He is good, but not that good. I know this could sound silly, but Emtee is who I roll with. Nigga is so talented,' said @Uncle_Sbu07 KO? Nah, bro. He is good, but not that good.
