I adore artichokes. While in Spain once, I had one of the most memorable meals of my life that consisted of fresh local fish sautéed with baby artichoke hearts. I’ve never forgotten it. Nothing has ever quite matched that meal but my love of artichokes continues. And although I try to eat as few grains as possible, if I had …
My favourite Skin Products
People often contact me to ask what cleansers, face cream, sun products etc I use. I’ve decided therefore, to compile a list of what products I’m currently using. Thanks to this site, I’m constantly trying new things so my list does change every now and then. However, the products below are all firm favourites, chemical free, often organic and really …
Chicken Skin Syndrome
It’s not always easy to tell when summer is upon us here in Britain, but I have now fixed the umbrella on to my garden table, so I would say summer is now official. This week I shall also be getting out my summer bag, so what more proof is needed? This means that all those hidden body parts and …
The No Needle Collagen Boost
We all long for a skin product that will transform our skin. A product that will tighten, clear impurities, get rid of pigmentation and somehow miraculously give us dewy, gorgeous skin. I think it’s fair to say, we’re all still waiting? I used to constantly read all about the supposed science of each new innovative product, eagerly trying the most …
Balm Balm Bonanza
As many of you already know, I’m a big fan of Balm Balm skin products. They are 100% organic, top quality and best of all, the most incredible value for money. When I went to visit them a few months back they gave me loads of their range to try and I’ve been doing just that. After initially falling in …

The ladies were given a 3 month supply of the product worth £200 each. So is this product as amazing as Philip Kingsley claims (his trials revealed that it helped 79% of people …
My Visit to Balm Balm
After writing about my latest product crush on the fabulous organic Balm Balm range, the lovely people there made contact! If that wasn’t exciting enough, they then put me in their newsletter. I started emailing back and forth with Haydn who is clearly a woman after my own heart. She even invited me to visit their office in Kingston. We …
Repairing Sun-Damaged Skin
Being a former sun worshiper ( notice I say “former” ), I know how pleasurable it is to luxuriate in the sun and damn the consequences! Life is for living and enjoyment, right? Well, yes, but then you get home, the tan fades and you’re left with dried out, pigmented and older looking skin. But don’t despair, if your …
A Heavenly Facial
I used to love facials but the truth is I don’t have them much any more. Relaxing and lovely as they can be, these days I tend to put my focus on good quality products, supplements and modern treatments that tighten skin and renew collagen. To my mind, the best part of a facial is the massage, which as well …
Protecting your Scalp from Sunburn
As people head off for their summer holidays, hopefully armed with lots of sunblock to prevent sun damage, I wonder how many will think to protect their scalp from burning? For women this usually means protecting your scalp where you part your hair and for men, thinning or bald spots. I have to confess, it’s something I usually don’t think …
A New Product For Hair Loss in Women
It was only after I scheduled the article by Philip Kingsley about The 12 Most Common Reasons For Hair Loss that his office told me about his fantastic new product for this very thing! What perfect timing! The product is brand new, having only been launched in June this year but has been seven years in the making. I use …

Here world renowned trichologist and hair guru, Philip Kingsley, gives us the most common causes for it and more importantly, practical advice on what to do about it. The incidence of hair loss in women is very underestimated: There are as many …
