“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.”
–Michael Jordan, NBA Legendary Basketball MVP

The days of the signature bar call are over as people today are
drinking across spirits categories and are eager to experiment with new flavors and trending serves. Who dothey go to navigate all the options? According to Nielsen CGA, 40% of revenue in bars is influenced bybartenders, which is why today, Bacardi employees across the globe head out of their offices to connect withthe people behind the bar for a first-hand look at
what’s driving cocktail choices.
Findings of the Bacardi 2020 Cocktail Insights Report are that:

Review | NIVEA PEEL OFF URBAN SKIN DETOX MASK (MATTIFY)
Soweto, South Africa
Hey guyzies, welcome to the first review for 2020 on the blog.
The NIVEA Peel Off Urban Skin Detox Mask (Mattify) shuu such a long name,
but all the Urban Masks from NIVEA have long names so I'm not complaining.
but all the Urban Masks from NIVEA have long names so I'm not complaining.
Minute Masks
At home masks really took over from 2018 and they just get better and better,
whats even better is that they are now even more affordable and they actually work.
NIVEA PEEL OFF URBAN SKIN DETOX MASK
(Mattify Black Rice & Green Tea Extract)
Claim: Intensively cleanses and removes dirt from pores
Reduces excess sebum and oil
Leaves skin mattified and radiant
My Thoughts:
The NIVEA Peel Off Urban Skin Detox Mask is one product that hasn't been
over hyped and I don't know why because peeling masks are on trend and the most searched
word on the blog is peeling followed by peeling cleanser.
If you have breakouts or or skin is feeling oily this mask will help you with that
just don't sleep on it.
just don't sleep on it.
Price: R99.99
