How I’m Going To Tackle My Weight Gain

During the second half of 2017 I gave in, to weight gain. Last summer I was in a really good place – happy at home, busy at work, was positive, up-beat, looking forward to my husband’s 50th birthday celebrations and two highly anticipated trips abroad. Good times. But, following my sister-in-law’s wedding…

Netting a New Winter Look

What’s a girl to wear when the weather drops and ice creeps across the window screen? It’s a tough one, cause no-one wants to wear trousers for the next three months, do they? I always get cross with myself for dropping dresses as soon as the clocks go back, but I can’t be the…

Call Of The Wild

I’m back on the hunt for animal print. This time in the shape of a handbag. I just feel that I need accessories to brighten my outfits. I’m inherently lazy when it comes to getting dressed, always reaching for plain colours, because I’m in a rush and don’t want to think about it. …

And Now For Some Serum News

Brow-sing Into The Future And A New Me (Part 2)

It has been a few months since I jumped at the chance to have my eyebrows micro-bladed and I thought I should give you an update, just in case you’re thinking of taking the plunge yourself. First off, I must tell you how happy I am that I don’t have to pencil in…

Porto & Pumps

Sorry for the pause. I don’t like surprises, so having a few mechanical problems with my blog this week has been a pain in the ___, but I’m back. Talking of surprises, I love spoiling my husband with a surprise or two. The boy’s 50th birthday in September, was not going to be…

Don’t Sweat It. Get On It

Did anyone else do the seasonal wardrobe change-over last weekend? I kind of love it. It’s like shopping without spending any money, finding goodies in the cupboards that you had forgotten you had. I’d left it until I was well within the time of reaching for light cardigans and was starting to search…

The Eyes Have It

There was a time when my eye area was not at its best. Late nights, early mornings and let’s be honest, too many post-work drinks, had really taken its toll. I thought I’d done permanent damage. Thankfully, however, it was not too late, cleaner living (only having a few glasses Thursday – Saturday!!) put paid…

I Got Leathered

Tuesday was a beautiful day, don’t you think? Better than pleasant, with sunshine from the moment we got up til the time we went to bed. Obviously a state of bliss was never going to last and we’ve had solid rain the past two days. It rather sums up British Summertime, you just never what it’s…

Natural Is Essential

I’m a big fan of using an oil on my skin at night. When I was young, it was enough that I remembered to take off the day’s make-up. Nowadays, there is a Routine, which involves putting something back in to the skin, after I’ve taken all the crap, u-hum, expensive make-up, off. There…
