1) If you fancy being in with a chance of winning a five night stay in an incredible hotel, get voting for your favourite places to stay in the Smith Hotel Awards 2014. I book most of my trips through Mr & Mrs Smith and pretty much everywhere I've stayed has been...
Time for me to leave Greece, today. I've had such an amazing week, exploring the Peloponnese and lying by the sea and drinking lovely local wine. Now I need to start writing it all up - food, sightseeing, accommodation and all! I hope you've all had good weeks,...
I'm on holiday! Thank God for that! One more week and I'm sure that my head would have exploded. This must have been the busiest "school year" of my life - even more hectic than last year, when I crazily decided to finish my MA at the same time as increasing my...
1) Winners of the Max Factor lipsticks (limited edition! Only three five made! By me!) are: Tessa (Tbblogger), Catriona May and Grace (grace084). And because Max Factor sent me a grand total of FIVE Cherry on the Top lipsticks, I am happy to announce that there are...
1) FeelUnique have some quite amazing reductions going on in their sale, and I just had an email newsletter to say that there's an extra 10% off over the bank holiday weekend, using the code PLUS10. Bravo! My super-duper recommendations, with the biggest savings, are...
1) I saw this article in Stylist magazine and thought that it was just brilliant; I hadn't heard of Life Hacks before but now I'm going to be sat there thinking them up all day! Life Hacks, according to Stylist, are little "tips and tricks to get rid of the tiny...
1) My YSL Fusion Foundation (above) looks as though it's had loads of tiny foundation babies! Fusion is the latest launch from YSL; it's a very lightweight base that promises 24hr hold and YSL have 7-day samples of this at all of their counters nationwide. I assume...
1) Interesting. A fragrance beautifying cream. l'Occitane designed this cream to be used in conjunction with their Collection de Grasse fragrance range (my favourite one is the heady, summery Néroli & Orchidée, see Friday's post) to intensify the notes and and...
1) It has been an incredibly busy week, this week; I am absolutely pooped! You know when your legs are kind of buzzing with a weird energy and you can't relax? It's as though you've gone past the point of tiredness and can't properly wind down? I have been trying to...
1) Sorry this post is late - email subscribers, you may be reading this on Monday morning rather than on Sunday, and I do apologise if your weekend felt empty without my words. Ha! It was my wedding anniversary yesterday (six years) and I had a lovely day with cousins...
1) I went to Provence with l'Occitane last week. I had dinner inside the amphitheatre at Arles! It was really quite special - all candlelit and atmospheric. Proper post to follow - I need to move all of my photos from my laptop to my big computer, which could take...
1) As part of my new fitness drive, I have tried to kickstart my running "mission". There will be a post next week about some of my...er...mishaps, but I just wanted to tell you about the iPhone app I've been using. It's called "Couch to 5k" and I'm pretty sure that...
