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.

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, …

No one has ever needed to talk me into doing exercise. I spent my childhood running around outside playing all sorts of ball games with the local children.

I started my Pilates journey a few months ago and have been doing mostly one to one sessions with a couple of instructors. One of them is Serkan, who specialises in medical type pilates and injuries.
