Back to catching up with my trip to New York; this is what I took with me for my flight. Ah yes, the flight – BA0185, London Heathrow to Newark, New Jersey. That one was traumatic; it was too windy to land at Newark, so we did an emergency landing at Boston. Is Boston near…
Kicking off the New Year with a product that’s natural, effective and affordable. Can you tell how pleased I am with myself? This is the first product that I’ve tried from Living Nature and I’m really very impressed by it. The formula is absolutely packed full of moisturising ingredients such as Shea butter, Manuka Honey,…
Thoughts on resolutions anyone? I can’t actually move my body at present, due to a little ‘overexcitement’ last-night-stroke-this-morning. So perhaps my first one will be ‘know when to stop drinking.’ My second is to swear less – not in general, just in inappropriate situations, such as meetings and dinners. Sometimes I wonder whether I might…
I feel bad, because you’ll probably not have a beauty review tomorrow – no doubt I will bang something or other out on the keyboard, but it’s doubtful whether it will be coherent or interesting. So here; I’ve done a post in advance. It’s tomorrow’s but it’s today. Happy New Year! I have been using…
Well. Here we are, on the very last day of 2010. Are we all doing lovely, exciting things tonight? I am off to a dinner party and I’m taking the cheese course. I popped to La Fromagerie in Marylebone yesterday to pick some up and came away with my own bodyweight in Gouda, as well…
In early November I had to clear out my bathroom so that work on it could commence (I’m having a super-duper ultra-designer ridiculously-luxurious bathroom fitted for which I have had to sell a kidney and one of my knee-joints) and whilst I was doing my clearing-out, I made some haircare videos. I then promptly forgot…
I popped into C.O. Bigelow whilst in New York – not for anything in particular, I was just trying to escape the bitter cold. I think that the staff knew that, because they followed me about until finally I felt compelled to leave. But not before I managed to take a good few covert pictures!…
Grand Soho Nails is in South Village, New York City, on Sullivan Street between Prince and Spring. Now I know that it’s a bit of a stretch to be discussing a nail bar in Soho, New York when I spend most of my time in London, but this isn’t just about Grand Soho Nails, it’s…
Excuse the cryptic title, please – all will become clear in good time. How are you all? Did you have a wonderful Christmas? Eat too much? Drink too much? I do hope so! I’m taking this opportunity, this ‘lull’ before the new year, to write about all of the things that have been happening recently…
I have been testing out the new skincare range from Naked, and I think that it’s great! I love the fact that Naked is affordable, easily available (Boots!) and is so much more luxurious than you would ever expect. The smell of the Orange Blossom Body Wash (one of my favourite products this year!) is…
Happy Boxing Day! Did you all have a lovely Christmas Day? Stuffed full of food and drink? I hope so! A nice and jolly beauty post for you today! That’s why there are so many exclamation marks! How ridiculously fun and cheerful is Deborah Lippmann’s polish, “Happy Birthday”? It’s a clear varnish packed full of…
Merry Christmas Everyone! I sincerely hope that you’re having a fantastic day – it’s quite possible that nobody will be around to watch this little message, but I hope that a few of you will catch it when you have some down-time. It’s a little token of my appreciation of you all, although a rather…
Have you still got presents to buy? Yes? Oh dear. Oh deary, deary me. You’re in deep doo-doo aren’t you? Better get yourself off to Boots and grab some 3-for-2 offers! That’s where I find myself every single Christmas Eve, without fail. Not this year, I hasten to add, because I have been ultra-organised and have…
So dedicated am I to bringing you daily tips, tricks and…stuff…that I am slaving away through the Christmas holiday to ensure you get your fix. So make sure you keep on tuning in – there will be at least one post a day, as always, and something very special and/or drunken tomorrow, Christmas Day. Definitely…
What is it about Molton Brown? People bloody love it, don’t they? My Mum loves it – you could line up the most ridiculously opulent and expensive face creams along a table, pile it high with handmade soaps from Morocco and body oils from Provence and she would still reach for the Molton Brown. Anyway,…
Ah, the final part of The Christmas Gift Guide. I do hope you’ve enjoyed them – I’ve certainly enjoyed making them! This last installment deals with last minute shopping in Boots. Everyone who’s still shopping on Christmas Eve finds themselves in Boots (don’t they?!) and so I’ve picked out a few things that I think…
By the time you’re on your third hangover in a row, the motivation to apply a full face of glitter kind of disappears. So from yesterday’s cheap bling, we go to a more sophisticated look. I’m not talking about evening makeup here, by the way. I’m talking about the kind of daytime makeup that we…
The penultimate Gift Guide, Volume 6, takes a look at some of the festive cosmetics available this Christmas. Some items are limited edition, some are available all year round, but all of them (for me at least!) have something about them that makes them ideal for giving as a gift. If the product doesn’t come…
