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 – Insider Beauty Tips
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…

Presumably you only eat freshly caught buffalo? and I don’t mean the Mozarella variety!? It’s the all new singing and dancing healthy juicer…

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.

The Perfect Polish for less than Perfect Nails
I’m one of these people whose nails just don’t grow. Ooo how I covet friends glossy nails, celebrity trends for pointy, sculpted and arty talons. I’ve tried vitamins, oils, buffers, polishes, nail polish so ‘glue like’ the Solvite man could hang in his white overalls from a helicopter for weeks… (If born after 1985 try…
