2015 – Time to review? Time for something new?
I’ve been away from the blog….truth is I’ve been away from everything. I finally stopped for Christmas and from a very busy year. Retreated up to the North to spend time with family and just stopped, stopped working, stopped writing, limited access to phone networks and social media meant we were cut off in a…

Ladies who Lunch – Ashdown Park Hotel
I don’t really like the phrase ‘Ladies who Lunch’, it’s often expressed as a derogatory term for women who have the time and money to enjoy a leisurely lunch in an expensive restaurant. It’s often assumed that these ladies are rich, married and don’t work. I personally admire every lady who has the time to…

AURELIA PROBIOTIC SKINCARE Miracle Cleanser
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,…

Warm Fire & Fragrant Flower Bliss
I love the change in the seasons. Autumn is my favorite and usually arrives around the end of September in time for our Wedding Anniversary and my Birthday. I remember the day we got married. I was relieved to see the sun shining for the church service, though when we tried to take photographs on…

Essential Accessories: The Statement Necklace
When large statement necklaces appeared on the catwalk last year I thought nice idea but its not for me and it probably wont stay around for long. I know what I like, a good hardworking chain, my name chain, a long gold chain, pendants and chokers in gold or sometimes silver, that’s me. But this…

Hair Stylists Secret Tools
Over the years I’ve learned not to wrestle with my hair on a daily basis. Some days I leave my hair fallow (or should that be feral?). What I mean is I have naturally curly hair that wants to have its own way. This is often a crazy, curly, wiry, lopsided, look which I now…

It started with a QVC press day (amazing new products for AW14), then a sales trip to Selfridges, a photoshoot for Red Magazine and Schwarzkopf (I know!), a charity fun…

Now is the Moment to Rescue a Wreck
Late last year me and Mr B moved into our new home. We had gone from a very trendy central Hove location, regency mansion building, sea views. The location was amazing but after 10 years in a beautiful flat the size and potential of it had become exhausted. So we made the move out of…
