I only recently discovered the pleasures and wonders of facial reflexology after many years of being a fan of the foot variety. I was very fortunate (and you can be too if you’re in London) to meet a wonderful practitioner, Shermine Boustany. She has quite magical hands as she works her way round your face using the technique formulated by …
It’s been 3 months now since I started using NIOD, some of the most advanced skincare products on the market, and my skin is really showing results. Gone is my dehydrated, flaky skin. Gone are the strange bumps and spots I had after a year of using stage make up. Instead I have nourished skin that is neither dry nor …
If you’re anything like me, you will have a tendency to always be looking for that amazing skin product or treatment that will somehow miraculously give you gorgeous skin. And all you will have to do is apply this to your face and that will be that. Perfection. Problem solved. Somewhere along the way, we begin to realise that this …
I recently wrote about NIOD, an amazingly advanced and effective skin range. I have used the entire range and am writing about every single product over a series of articles. If you missed the first article about their two incredible core products, view the previous article to take a quick peek. The difference with NIOD is that it really is …
I’m about to do something very unusual for me and it feels a bit weird. I’m almost feeling guilty about it but frankly, it has to be done. What can this be, I hear you wonder? Well…the thing is…I’m going to write about a new(ish) range of skin products that are not…gulp….chemical free…or…. completely natural! I know I know. Why, …
I’m sure nearly everyone has heard of reflexology, even if they’ve never actually tried it. I’m a huge fan of it and in the hands of a gifted practitioner, it’s deeply relaxing, renewing and healing. I actually prefer it to a massage and usually go into a wonderful state where I feel my body and mind completely relax and drift …
As most of you know by now, I’m a lover of all things organic and natural. I eat as organically as possible and for a good number of years I’ve tried to use as natural as possible skin products on my face. However, I’ve not applied this much to either make up or nails, and I intend to change that …
I’m always looking for non invasive ways of tightening and improving skin. I have therefore happily spent the last few months trying some new (to me) skin tightening treatments. It’s been a manic year and I was feeling a bit worn out which never bodes well for your skin. What could be better than having a little skin rejuvenation? As …
I recently did the interview below for the Christmas edition of Good Housekeeping magazine. How to look and feel your best through the festive season. It’s a major challenge not to overindulge at this time of year and most of us end up feeling bloated, sluggish and a good few pounds heavier. But it doesn’t have to be like that. …
If you’re anything like me, the skin on your body is completely different to your facial skin. As a teenager with oily, spotty skin, I had legs as dry as the Sahara Desert. They were so dry that unless I smothered them in a moisturiser every single day, I had crocodile skin. Ok, so I was living in Africa and …
It’s always exciting to find a new range of quality skin products and even more exciting to be one of the first to try them out. And this range has a rather lovely story attached to it. Sophie Reynolds grew up watching her grandmother Rosina concoct her own lotions and potions in her kitchen. Rosina was a former dancer at the …
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 …
