After having a fabulous response to our competition to win a specialist eyebrow make over, courtesy of HD Brows, we found our winner in Sarah Walker. HD Brows founder, Nilam Patel, chose Sarah out of the many entries as she thought her very fair brows would show how this treatment works for everyone. Sarah’s special day took place at the …
Manolo Camp
Boots schmoots! I feel firmly in the skinny pants, skimpy T shirt, skirt with heels camp! What bliss to have my clothes fit again. I do feel I’ve really earned it after being so disciplined and my only concern now is keeping it this way. Two weeks to go but will definitely be asking both Fleur and Rhys for a …
A Special Indulgent Offer
Awhile back I fell in love with Neom’s gorgeous Complete Bliss Body Lotion. Nourishing, organic, with a fresh uplifting smell. I’ve now discovered some of their other products and continue to be very impressed. They do divine organic candles (did you know most candles release toxins and pollutants as they burn?). However the product I’m most excited about is their …
Bootcamp Booty
I’ve always prided myself on being very active and doing loads of exercise which, as you know and are probably sick of hearing me say, I insist is the closest thing to an anti-ageing pill. The horrible truth however, is that I may have been completely wasting my time in the gym! I may go and do weights twice …
Bootcamp Begins
I may not be in some retreat somewhere with a hard bed and no pillow, or hiking up the mountains at 6am every morning, or being forced to eat stale bread where each mouthful has to be chewed a hundred times, but…….I definitely feel like I’m in bootcamp! And to think I’ve done this to myself! And because I’ve announced …
My Pre – Summer Body Overhaul
Yup I know…..I go on about yoga and exercise, did a whole series of articles on “The diet that changed my life”, am such a goody two shoes blah blah blah….so how come the top part of my legs are going south and suddenly I’m a little, well, podgier? Mmmmm? Ok, it was a long hard winter and I’ve spent …
How Safe are Supplements?
There are two types of people. Those who like supplements, who feel that they optimise health and promote well being and those who feel they’re a waste of time and too much of a hassle to take anyway. There’s no denying that they’re expensive. Well, very expensive in my case because I take so many. As do my whole family. …
Meditation is Easy – Part 2
Back by popular demand, some more meditation advice from Michael Brandon. Meditation remains one of the most potent tools against the ever growing tide of stress that threatens to overwhelm us (me included) and undermine our health and wellbeing. To my mind, deep breathing and meditation coupled with some sort of exercise are the very best tools you can use …
Loose Women – April 2014
It was as much of a surprise to me as anyone else to find myself as a panellist on Loose Women a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been on as a guest a number of times so it was interesting to be on the other side for a change. I was very fortunate to be on with such a warm, …
The Perfect Brow
I’ve written before about how transforming and youth-making a beautifully shaped brow can be. Like a little facelift for sure. I myself tattoo my eyebrows after a teenage brow hatchet job went horribly wrong and left me with mismatched skinny tadpoles. However there is now a company, HD Brows, that specialises in making the most perfect brow, tailor made to …
Skincare For Sensitive Skin
It’s truly alarming how many people are having bad reactions to skin products. I have a number of friends who have to be very careful of what they put on their skin. Some people will break out in spots and others have an allergic type reaction coming out in hives or getting red swollen areas, itching or dermatitis. I have …
An Ageless Love Story
While I was in Los Angeles recently, I was having lunch with a couple of girlfriends when one of them told a story that had us sitting on the edge of our seats, incredulous and enthralled. It was a love story. A story of great passion and romance that many dream of but few experience. A story of two people …
