A few months ago, I wrote an article for Hello magazine on this subject and it got a huge response. It made me ponder as to why this was the case. I suspect it’s because most of us have low energy a lot of the time, even when we’re not busy. I decided to make a video about it to …
I have a theory about why women shop a certain way that leaves them feeling they have nothing to wear. I did this for years myself, and when I changed my mindset, my whole wardrobe became a place filled with all kinds of useful outfits. I believe that many of us shop for our fantasy life We shop for how …
One of the first areas on a woman’s body to show signs of age is the décolletage. I spotted my first lines in my late twenties. And it keeps on going the older you get. I always felt, despite the early start of lines in the area, that my décolletage was holding up well, but then this last year, I …
Cleansers may not be the most exciting beauty product, but to my mind they’re one of the most important. Besides city grime, pollution and toxins, there’s also makeup to remove. If you wear foundation, it’s very important to make sure you remove it fully. Otherwise pores become clogged and grimy. Personally, I find a lot of cleansers do not fully …
About 10 years ago, I was on holiday sitting on a beautiful beach watching the sunset. A setting that always makes me happy. Warm sun, sand between my toes and shimmering blue sea. However, as I looked out at my wonderful surroundings, I could feel a strange sensation in my stomach. I felt uneasy and unsettled. I couldn’t quite put …
Recently, Studio 10 cancelled it’s fabulous I-Radiance eye palette. I was shocked and devastated. Why would they do that? But it turns out, it was only to upgrade it to a new, even more fabulous palette called Fresh Focus I-Brighten. And fabulous it is! I’ve got a new favourite eye palette The colours are warm and flattering, from delicious caramel …
A few months ago I embarked on three micro-needling sessions. I was drawn to do it as it’s minimally invasive and has been scientifically proven to have a real effect on the skin. So many skin treatments give little value for money Treatments are often extremely expensive, specially when doing a series of them, which is usually the case. It’s …
Nail salons have sprung up all over the place. They are now cheaper, more accessible and are booming. Everyone loves a mani. They especially love a gel mani. No-one bothers with a normal manicure anymore In fact, I’m one of the few people I know who much prefers one. When I go into a salon and say I just want …
I first met radio presenter and now hugely successful influencer, Jo Good, on an episode of Dempsey and Makepeace, when she played a woman of ill repute. We laughed from the moment we met We’ve bumped into each other consistently in our very long careers and are somewhat amazed that we’re still here. Jo became a firm favourite on BBC …
Beauty treatments are soaring in popularity, but the truth is they are very expensive. We now see celebrities getting tweakments and face lifts that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (yes Kris Jenner, I’m talking to you) and it feels like us mortals don’t stand a chance. However, I’ve always held the belief that looking after one’s health and exercising, …
When it comes to skincare products, it’s hard to beat a serum, in my opinion. Serums are absorbed better than moisturisers This is because of their smaller molecule size and means they penetrate deeper, making them more effective. In the video below, I look at some of the incredible serums from DoSe. They have a dazzling selection of serums and …
As per your many requests, I sit down with my husband, Michael Brandon, to take you through a short 10 minute meditation. You can sit on a chair or sofa, with uncrossed legs and feet on the ground, with your back upright (not slouched) or you can lie down on the floor or your bed. If you’re flexible with good …
