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 …
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
