Just got back from Birmingham (more on that later) and have precisely twenty-two minutes to get ready for the Sex and the City 2 VIP Screening! Oh dear. Won’t be washing my hair then! Bought some more Batiste at the train station Superdrug, this time I thought I’d be a bit crazy and try something new. Batiste Tropical smells like Pina Colada, or to be more precise, it makes your hair smell like you’ve fallen asleep with your head in a pool of Pina Colada, which is quite different. I know that, because I’ve done it.

I’m not sure that I’m totally in love with this smell for a daytime-do…it would suit a beach holiday perfectly though, and it does ‘raise one’s spirits’ somehow. Anyway, it’s too late, I’ve sprayed it all over, and it’s here to stay. But for those of you off to warmer climes – pick some of this up. It’s invaluable in those last-minute panic moments when your hair looks as though it hasn’t been washed since the Ice Age. Right, have to run! Carrie et al await me….
