    Creating a Spa at Home

    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...

    Skincare Month – Serums, Treats & Masks

    I’m firmly of the belief that skincare doesn’t need to be over complicated.  Clean it, moisturise it, and depending on what your skin concerns are, treat it. That could be with an anti ageing serum, a moisture boosting mask, or just a treat to make that skin on display a little more radiant....

    Skincare Month – Eyes

    They say that your eyes are the window to your soul.  I’d say mine are the timeline of my life.  I don’t mind the fine lines around my eyes.  I’ve said it many times before, that they show that I laugh. A lot. However, I’d rather not have dark circles and excess skin there....

    Skincare Month – Rio Microderma Compact Microdermabrasion System

    Sometimes, the thought of taking what in essence, could be perceived as an angle grinder, to your face, is rather scary. My husband does think it a bit of a laugh when I get out skin and body gadgets to test, and will often ‘witilly’ ask if I want him to go in the garage

    Skincare Month – Moisturise

    Moisturising your skin is like drinking a glass of water. And in fact, you cannot possibly over moisturise your face to the point of saturation.  Imagine pouring a pint of water into a small short tumbler, all that’s going to happen is that the glass will over flow, and you mop up the spillage....

    Skincare Month – Cleanse & Exfoliate

    Cleaning your face twice a day is essential.  It’s more than important, it’s imperative.  Too many times, I hear of clients and readers who wash/cleanse their face at night, then in the morning, just splash with water.  Wrong!  Sorry!  Your skin (and in fact, your mind, body etc) goes...

    Skincare Month – QVC UK

    I love QVC.  I really really do.  I even loved them when it wasn’t ‘cool’ to admit to watching shopping TV! What I love about the channel is that there are many facets and layers to it. You get to watch demonstrations by experts, who really know their craft (Keely who demonstrates...

    J is for Jewel Coloured….

    Bright and beautiful, the magpie in all of us will spy out jewel bright colours from any sort of distance. I think this is why Makeup Artists adore the counters of MAC and Illamasqua.  Their bright bold colours call to us. So many jewel tones and jewel colours, here’s some of our favourites.  ...
