    I’ve long been a fan of SBC, it was about this time last year that that I raved about the Arnica Gel see the post here.  This year SBC have some new offerings and I’m equally excited about their near-miracle healing powers. First up there’s a new range of shower gels, Honey & Almond, Honey…

    No three words sound better to me than ‘Italian Summer Fig’ I love the smell of fig, the house if full of fragrant fig candles that fill the air with sweet perfume and tell me, what’s better than Italy in the Summertime? The Italian riviera, the countryside, the Amalfi coast, the sea, and sand. So when…

    Morning all, In the summertime like a chameleon, we change colour.  You may not think you change colour all year but in the summer we do tend to get more of a natural glow to our skin, we spend more time outdoors, we eat more fruit and veg, our hair changes colour and we tend to…

      Hello! Isn’t it marvelous weather at the moment? After work every day this past week we have hit the beach.  Lovely evening walks across the sand, we try to time it for low tide, Blue thinks its magic, she runs for miles across the bay as far as the harbour wall, and back….then all…

    What could be more summery than a sweet floral fragrance? I recently tried two beautiful summer scents from Jo Malone.  First Peony & Blush Suede Cologne, what could be more summery than pink peonies in full bloom?  hints of jasmine, rose, gillyflower and blush suede give you a luxurious, soft and seductive scent. Next I…

    If you follow my blog you will know that I’m a huge fan of Parisienne skincare.  No country quite understands the skin as much as our friends across the channel. I was first introduced to Delarom by those in the know purveyors of beauty Urban Retreat, I wrote about how much I loved the brand way back…

    Ah at last, summer seems to be here, it’s definate shorts and T-shirt weather and for me that means trying to catch a few rays. Today I got up early and I’m keen to get my work done so I can meet friends and then come home to relax in the sun on my lawn.…

    I’ve long been a fan of Miller Harris perfume, to me the name conjures the distinct and complicated notes of a real perfume, as if the perfume itself is telling a story from where it came. Lyn Harris has been working in the fragrance industry for more than twenty years and founded Miller Harris in…

    London Fashion Week is over for another season and while I may have repetitive strain injury from working a multitude of social media platforms, and feet that have the gnarly look of walking around in heels over London’s cobbled streets for five days, I’m happy to report my ‘made-up’ face survived the flash bulbs, queues…

    I like to think I’m fairly in the know about new technology, early adopter to this, first to get that, but when it comes to skincare I’m way behind the curve. Regular readers will know it’s only in the last couple of years that I’ve discovered skincare other than basic moisturiser and a wet flannel.…

    This time of year as the seasons change from warmer to colder weather I tend to update my beauty regime and add a few extra steps.  I thought I’d post my current products which are slightly richer in texture and provide more hydration during the months when your skin is exposed to colder weather and…

    Every once in a while a skincare product comes around that makes you take note.  Not because of the hype or the promotion but because you try it for yourself and you really notice the difference. I was asked to try Aurelia  Miracle Cleanser quite some time ago, I loved the smell, all eucalyptus, chamomile,…

    I’m a big fan of Arnica Gel, my Mum introduced me to SBC’s Arnica Gel years ago, ‘Use it on that bruise”, “Arnica will take down the swelling”.  We also swear by it in our house for anything from aches and pains, to arthritis and eczema.  I can’t claim it cures either but its soothing,…
