If you don’t adore rhubarb and custard swdeets you aren’t living! Possibly one of my favourite sweets in the world, it’s ridiculously hard to get a version that tastes original and not modernly synthetic. For those of us who love the original taste, talented Nicoletta has managed to...

I don’t know whether it’s self-indulgent, sheer luxury, necessity or just a little bit of heaven, but creating a Spa in your own home is a must-do in Winter. I love my baths, it’s quite well documented on here, and luxuriating with gorgeous scented water, beautiful candles, and a glass...
Never having been one to be swayed by products that claim to be doing two things at the same time (that’s you, tinted moisturiser…), I haven’t yet been persuaded by the BB cream claims. I’ve tried a couple of asian ones, the originators of the whole Blemish Balm concept, but the new Beauty Balms...

It’s a difficult one, so going to Dictionary.com I got the definitive answer. To Innovate is “to introduce something new; make changes in anything...
I love my bath. It’s a place that I can escape to of an evening, when the children are in bed (or if my husband’s home from work, when they’re not!). I take a glass of wine, a good book and go and hide in there. Showers freak me out. I hate the enclosed space,
