Something to note, before we embark on this little natural deodorant chat: I'm not a particularly malodorous person, in terms of armpits and sweat and so on. If I go completely au naturel on a summer's day, hop on and off the tube and do a few sprints up and down the...
I'm usually reluctant to recommend things based primarily on the strength of their wonderful scent - unless it's perfume, obviously - but I absolutely can't get enough of these Elemis delights. The Jasmine and Rose Milk Bath, the Monoi Body Cream and the Pro-Radiance...
Well, Weleda's Foot Balm is something of a surprise hit! It's not really the right time of year to be testing out refreshing, cooling foot products, but after a particularly hefty day of walking about in my Belstaff boots (low heel, but very structured and not much...
I have a proper thing for This Works' original Deep Sleep Pillow Spray. I get twitchy without it. It sends me into the kind of deep sleep that could only otherwise be achieved after a couple of large glasses of heavy Chianti and an episode of the Antiques Roadshow....
Body washes are never the most thrilling beauty products to write about, but this little number from Weleda very much deserves a proper mention. It's difficult to find shower gels and body cleansers that are gentle and non-drying but that actually work; lots of the...
Lavender Three Ways. Lavender Three Ways! Have I actually just written that down as a title? I'll get up really early and change it to something better. If you're reading this, I didn't get up really early to change it to something better. I sat and watched a few...
Last week I wrote about Aurelia's amazing Firm and Revitalise dry oil; this week it's Roger & Gallet's Huile Gourmande that's taking centre stage. Or I should say that it's the scent of it, the Fleur de Figuier that's taking centre stage; it's quite a loud and...
Oh hello August, you sizzling-hot little git! Where did you spring from? I'm still answering emails with "hope you had a good New Year"! I'm not going on holiday until September (too much to do, too much to do) and so for now, I am making do with scents that remind me...
Thing Of The Week - and yes, I know I'm late to the party - is this very nifty little product from Bourjois, the Magic Nail Polish Remover for Hands and Feet. Their "one second" remover for fingernails is already one of my all-time favourite beauty inventions - you...
Summer is here and - if you're anything like me - you're frantically hunting for your foot file and your gradual tanner to get your legs and feet into some kind of presentable condition. There's a post coming up with some of my most-used foot products, but what about...
Sorry about this one folks: it's a post about an amazing product that I can't find a proper stockist for. I'm well aware of how annoying that is, but bear with me and I'll try to add some stockist information by the end of the day. I'm currently away from Mission...
Continuing along the whole "health and fitness" vein; some useful beauty products that I take with me to the gym. On video for your entertainment - and boy is it entertaining. Especially if you like the word "moist", or want to have the mental image of me doing naked...
