This week, I’ve been listening to Birdy’s album. It’s a beautiful, relaxing collection of cover versions with a folky twist and Bridy’s voice is amazing especially considering she’s only 15. It’s very chilled so you need to be in a certain mood to enjoy it and as you know it’s been a reflective week for me [...]

Glamour puss
I went Xmas shopping at the weekend and my eye caught the girls on the Benefit make-up counter dressed up in forties style. One of them ended up defining my eyebrows, putting mascara on my mum and selling us £100 worth of products as pressies for us! I love the idea of having a retro [...]

Fake photos
As you know I do like the Kardashians and I looked at their photo shoot for their new clothing line with interest, especially as the photos were taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. However, I was startled to see this pose of all three sisters all looking the exact same height. This photo has totally [...]

Be adorable
On my week off a book caught my eye on the shelf – pink, embossed and all about being glamorous, I snapped it straight up! I love old school glamour, Hollywood stars of the past with their red lipstick, alluring eyes and long silky gowns. Marilyn, Audrey, Bette, Katherine … this books tells you how [...]

Be gorgeous today
Sorry male readers but it’s really tough being a woman! We have so many things to think about in terms of beauty – we expected to groom ourselves and work hard to look good. Nails, hair, make up, fake tan, plastic surgery, hair removal blah blah. This weekend I’ve painted my nails and toe nails [...]

The girl in the mirror
I have days when I look in the mirror and I really dislike what I see. Everything looks ugly on me, I feel fat and hideous and nothing goes right – my hair, make up or chosing an outfit. Or I see a photo of me and it’s completely unflattering and I cry out “Do I really look like this?!” [...]

Product Queen
I love products. I love walking through the cosmetic area of a department store or making a trip to Boots, our biggest cosmetic / toiletries shop here in the UK. I love the smells, the fancy packaging and the promise of loveliness within. I am always on the look out for a new products although I also have a set of ones I stick to. I also [...]

Signature Scent
When asked in 1954 what she wore on bed at night, Marilyn Monroe answered, “Five drops of Chanel No. 5.” I am jealous of women who have a favourite perfume. Who always wear it and who become synonymous with that scent. I think perfume suggests elegance. It has a timeless quality. If you know someone who wears [...]

Behind the Mask
Beauty & The Beast, a documentary shown last night on C4, showed two people struggling with their looks trying to understand each other’s worlds. Photo below: Liam was 60 yr old man who was badly burnt as a child and has struggled with scars all his life. As a result, he was against cosmetic surgery. Yasmin was [...]
