2025 taught me the reality that life is short.
A reminder to slow down, be present, and hold the people and moments that truly matter a little closer.

In 2026, my focus is on making memories.
Happy New Year 🤍

Merry Christmas from mine to yours. Wishing you a blessed Christmas and a radiant start to the new year. ✨

There’s nothing silent about the confidence that comes from looking and feeling your best.

A heartfelt thank you to CATRICE cosmetics for sponsoring gift packs for two recent silent retreats. Your generosity added such a beautiful touch, allowing participants to leave not only refreshed in spirit, but also glowing on the outside.

I’m so grateful for this partnership and the way it enhances the true gift of giving.

December is here, and let’s be honest, there’s nothing “natural” about a so-called natural glow. Between long days, late nights, and summer sun, our skin often needs a little extra love to keep that radiant look alive.

That’s where 𝗘𝘅𝘂𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝘄 comes in. These antioxidant-rich, pre-soaked pads gently exfoliate, hydrate, and revive the skin. Giving you an instantly luminous glow, whether you’re make-up free or going glam.

Think of it as your holiday skin secret weapon:
1. Gentle exfoliation with polyhydroxy acids
2. Hydration + skin conditioning
3. Antioxidants to protect from environmental stress
4. Cucumber extract to soothe and refresh

As you swap out heavy makeup for sunscreen and summer fun, don’t lose your glow. Invest in your skin, invest in yourself.

Try it this December, and let me know at month’s end how revived your skin feels… (I have a feeling I already know the answer 😉).

There’s nothing quite as beautiful as a bride on her wedding day. Glowing with love, joy, and the magic of the moment.✨

It’s the biggest honour to play even a small role in helping her feel like the picture she always envisioned…

Here’s to all the brides: past, present, and future… may your beauty always reflect the love and happiness within.💍

They say your hair is your crown…👑 I got to polish my hair styling skills with some serious inspo!
Had the best morning at the Keune upstyle training, learning, laughing, and creating with some of the most talented stylists in the industry.

Thank you, Keune Haircosmetics, for such a fun and inspiring session. I loved every second of it!

Elena, beautiful work! Bonus time with my hair mentor, Coiffure Ezra Hair and Beauty Salon. Don't you just love her hair? 😍

𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 - 𝗔 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵. With Madeleen van der Merwe & Helena van der Vyver, Beauty & Business Coach and owner of 1ne s.p.a.

I’m honoured to share this workshop as part of Helena’s Business Sanctuary series - a space that continues to shape and grow women in leadership.

I had the privilege of sharing how I built my business through lessons from some of the books that have guided me most - at Helena van der Vyver’s 1neSpa Business Sanctuary.
A space where women in business can pause, connect, and be encouraged.

Here are a few key takeaways that continue to shape me:
💙 Make your bed - it’s about small, consistent habits
💙 Get a swim buddy - the power of relationships
💙 Don’t swim away from the sharks - face them, even when the shark is yourself
💙 Never ring the bell - quitting on yourself is not an option

Helena, thank you for your black belt in cheerleading 🥋💙

Growing up on a farm taught me more than how to ride a horse.
It taught me respect for those whose livelihoods depend on nature, resilience in prayer, and the patience to keep going through dry seasons.

Those lessons still guide me in my business. In somatology, just as in farming, we work with nature – the body, the skin, and the rhythm of each individual. True results take patience, care, and consistency.

This Heritage Day, I’m reminded that our heritage isn’t only where we come from, but also the values and stories we carry forward. Every day, I get to hear my clients’ stories, reminders of strength, resilience, and grace. That’s a heritage worth celebrating.

𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 & 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿: powerful results that bring a little hope. 💙

Even after 21 years in the beauty industry, I’m still learning from my clients and their unique needs. Recently, so many brides, teenagers and women have come to me asking about rosacea - a skin condition that causes persistent redness, bumps, and sensitivity.

👉 If you struggle with rosacea and wonder which products are best for your skin, email me at [email protected]. I’d love to guide you.
Or, for a more personalised plan, complete my online skin assessment here: madeleen.co.za/skin-treatments/ (scroll down to Dermal Diagnosis).

Only those who live with rosacea truly understand the struggle - that constant feeling of stepping out of a sauna. 💭
