I didn’t start drinking coffee until my late twenties and even now only drink a cupacino. However, I tend to drink one every single day! The coffee part, as you will see, could be a good thing, but all that milk, not so much. It’s all about the foam for me. I only enjoy if the foam is just right. …
Philip Kingsley, trichologist to the stars and many many others, has now coined my favourite phrase. Closet colourer!! He is assuming that all these closet colourers are men, that they don’t like to admit they colour their hair. I’ve always thought that you can tell a colour job a mile off on a man, because it’s always so obvious. Obviously …
I’ve written about Jet Peel before and here you can watch me talk about it. It’s one of the more affordable treatments out there and to my mind very good on several levels i.e. great exfoliation and very nourishing with all the vitamins and hyaluronic acid that’s added during the treatment. Mesotherapy without the needles! I get mine done at …
I don’t know about you, but unless I use body lotion daily my skin goes really dry, especially on my legs. I’m always on the look out for lovely lotions that not only do the job but smell good too. ( I don’t wear perfume so my body lotion is it ). And of course, I want it to be …
Ok this is going to be a bit like a biology lesson so get a nice cup of tea, snuggle up and concentrate. Digestive enzymes are very important and decline rapidly with age, stress, if you don’t chew your food properly or if your nutrition is poor. Fortunately you can take Digestive Enzymes as a supplement and I now take …
Bacteria have been on this earth longer than humans and were indeed one of the first life forms on the planet. They are very resilient and have even been known to flourish on manned spacecraft. We tend to think of them as gross, dirty and bad. Some, indeed, are very dangerous but others are vital to our survival and to …
I’ve written about the dangers of toxic chemicals in skin products and how I switched to natural products in the 1990’s (which was quite a challenge as there wasn’t much to choose from). Now there are so many of these products that it’s all quite confusing. However, the quality of these products varies enormously. Many of them have good ingredients …
As many of you already know, I love Dr Julia Hunters’ skin products. They’re a lot more therapeutic than most products and I’ve had fantastic results with them. If I had to choose my most favourite, effective product it would have to be her vitamin C powder. It made such a visible difference to the skin above my eyes (although …
Since I started this website, one of the most frequent questions I get asked is to know more about what I do, what I use and what is my secret because surely there must be one? Do I think it’s my genes? And the answer to this is…every single thing I have written about or posted on this website is …
Since I started this site, I regularly get sent skin products for me to try. Much as I’d like to try them all, it would wreak havoc on my skin if I did. I also have my own routine with my own products ( I’ve written about my favourites) and don’t like to disrupt it too much. So it takes …
I really don’t know what took me so long! Right under my nose, under my very feet is one of the best meditation teachers around….my husband. He may be an actor but he has also been a meditator for many decades. He has taught some of the toughest people on the planet in some of the toughest prisons in both …
Since the launch of this site just over a year ago, I have posted close to 100 articles. Phew! Not a week has gone by without one and for the first few months there were 2 articles a week. We have covered so many different subjects ranging from the benefits of turmeric to hair loss to the pros and cons …
