This week I will mainly be biting my lip in anticipation of the horrors that are about to ensue on my TV screen this Saturday evening. What horrors you ask? I’ll tell you. The live shows of X-factor are about to commence and thus we will see the tragic makeovers forced upon the contestants by … Continue reading
Exploring the French Pharmacie
There’s been a bit of a buzz about French skincare products lately with many products such as Caudalie’s Beauty Elixer doing the rounds on every beauty blog under the sun. I think in the UK at least this in part down to the new availability of brands such as Avene, Vichy, La Roche-Posay and Caudalie … Continue reading
September Wish List
September is a transitional time of year. The weather can’t make up it’s mind and neither can I. Am I still holding on to open toed sandles and bare legs or do I want to get the jumpers out of the loft? Hence, a slightly confused wishlist this month. Generally speaking, I’m getting a … Continue reading
Why I Don’t Hate Victoria Beckham
My sisterly defenses have been called to action recently over many an argument about Victoria Beckham. She seems to be the go to person when people need someone to hate upon. What particularly niggles me about this is that most of the hate seems to come from men and I can’t help feeling that it’s … Continue reading
Finding my way back to Narnia
So, I was trying to work out why I’ve been away from the blog for a while. Was I working too hard at work and not wanting to spend time in front of a screen in the evenings? Was I worried about not feeling “photo ready” enough to do the kind of posts other bloggers … Continue reading
It’s been a while….

Perfect mug for work; Boyfriend drinking in park on the one weekend that shall be known as “summer 2012”; The rather beautiful view of Lake Como we had on holiday; My current … Continue reading

As … Continue reading

Making my fourth week of the month a happier experience….
Just a little note before I get started here, this ones not really for the boys. In fact it may be somewhat controversial in the fact that girls aren’t really supposed to mention the fact they menstruate at all, let alone review sanitary products. I however don’t go in for that sort of gender repressive … Continue reading
From rocky mountain ranges to perfectly polished pearls
My hands have looked pretty horrific lately. Due to a rubbish digestive system that fails to absorb any of the nutrients from the plethora of vitamins and minerals I push through it every day, my nails have been breaking and splitting. I also believe I have hyperactive cuticles. I turn my attention away for five … Continue reading
