    2022 was a great achievement for two Seychellois p 2022 was a great achievement for two Seychellois professionals, Melissa Stravens and Jemima Doudée who were the latest recipients of the Chevening scholarship, the UK government’s international scholarships and fellowships programme.
Applicants around the globe were required to apply directly through the Chevening online platform, after which the very best applicants were shortlisted and interviewed by a specialist panel at the British high commission. They had the opportunity to demonstrate how the scholarship will make a difference in their lives and communities, and how it will benefit them as a leader in their respective chosen field.
Almost 100 Seychellois have studied in the UK through the Chevening programme since 1984, going on to become leaders in their respective fields. Read Melissa's and Jemima's stories on Cosmocreole

Greetings from Mumbai 🎄💕🎁
God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it. Our daughter and sister Elaine got the ultimate gift of life 💕 Her new Lungs 💞 in the week leading to Christmas. 
She has a great team of people behind her and she is the bravest person we know. 
Elaine is recuperating very well, but still has a long way to go. 
Thank you all for the encouragement, support calls and messages during this difficult and challenging time, our family will be forever grateful. 
Let this Christmas make way for a fresh new start for everyone. Embrace the many miracles it brings along and spread the love you have in your heart. Please do not take life for granted. 
Sending our warmest wishes for A Merry Christmas and A happy New Year 2023.

Embrace Your Natural Hair

2 April 2021 · In: Beauty, Beauty, Hair, Hair, Skin & Beauty

From braids and coils, to twist-outs and wash & gos, let’s acknowledge that natural hair movement has firmly taken root everywhere including Seychelles, as women move away from chemical relaxers and embrace their natural and beautiful textured hair.

From braids and coils, to twist-outs and wash & gos, let’s acknowledge that natural hair movement has firmly taken root everywhere including Seychelles, as women move away from chemical relaxers and embrace their natural and beautiful textured hair.

When it comes to managing natural hair, it requires a bespoke regime depending on the texture of your hair to ensure great result and hair health – kinky, curly, coily, wavy or straight, natural textured and Afro hair has unique needs. Whether you’re starting on your own journey or your journey started a while ago, we hope our guide will somewhat be beneficial.


These are all tried and tested products by women with natural hair and we also made it our mission to read the reviews and speak to women navigating the natural hair journey. All of the products are available online or if you are based in Seychelles, Delrose Beauty Shop at Mont Fleuri stock most of them.
