The one where I thought Bessie may have fractured her arm

great patient

I always, as far as I can, walk the girls to school, only torrential downpours prevent us.

The school run home is a different matter, both of them are tired, neither of them want to walk and I can do without the moaning. This is where our Mini Micro scooters have come in to [...]

LIFT 60 second face lift by Rio Beauty

LIFT 60 second facelift

Is it possible to have a face lift for only £80?

Yes but not with surgeons and operating theatres or with the dreadful outcome that we see some major celebrities sporting on their faces in the ongoing battle to look young.

smash hits and Jackie

Yay, big round of applause to me.

10 years ago in April 2003 I smoked my final cigarette and mentioning when I started in the 30 years ago post the other day it brought it all back to me.

Right, I’ll be perfectly straight with you. I don’t wear a lot of make up.

That doesn’t mean I’m immensely beautiful and am graced with a perfect unblemished skin that I can easily do without. Noooo, it simply means that most days for a quick school run, I can’t be bothered with it. At [...]

The scent of a woman – how do you choose your perfume?

Coco chanel perfume

I was asked to fill in an online survey a while ago based on perfumes asking me whether I had bought this one or that one, which was my favourite out of the lot and then focusing on a brand new perfume by a well known brand. The questions revolved around the name chosen [...]

Seascape Island Apothecary review

seascape les petits

This is the time of year when our bodies clad in warm clothes and fighting the harsh day to day elements start to tell us they need a little TLC.

Shellac nails; supporting local business

shellac nails - day 1
