Exfoliating is a great skin boost and peels are a very effective way of doing this. They can be gentle or they can be extremely intense with down time required. I’ve always loved a good peel! I started with gentle glycolic peels when they first came out and then progressed to ones done in Dr Hunters’ office which leave you …
Last weeks article on colds and flu sparked a lot of queries on twitter about the flu vaccine. People wanted advice on whether they should get it or not. A lot of people said they get it every year and genuinely believed it stopped them getting ill. Would I personally get it? The answer is no. Perhaps if I was …
Colds and flu may be common place but they are a real pain in the neck…and the nose, throat and head! A cold won’t get you any sympathy (on the contrary people will physically back away from you) but can make you feel completely miserable. Not quite ill enough to be in bed, but hard to work properly or enjoy …
Food companies are out to trick us, manipulate us and get us to buy their products no matter what. Some people just look at the general packaging, make a snap judgement and throw the item into their trolley. Others, attempting to eat healthily, look at the ingredients before doing so. But what to make of these often very long lists of …
After my spell of dancing on Stepping Out, I found myself nursing a number of injuries. A swollen knee, that was quite inflamed being the main culprit. Ibuprofin is always what the doctor or physiotherapist will suggest, but nature has it’s own highly beneficial version that not only helps get rid of inflammation but has a load of other benefits …
About 7 years ago a friend sent me to see a friend of hers who had just opened a skin clinic in Los Angeles. The incentive to go was that apparently she was setting out to get great results by using as natural methods as possible. And so I met Dr. Julia Hunter for the first time. There was an …
I love exfoliating! There I’ve said it. It all started when I had spotty skin in my youth and after trying all kinds of things unsuccessfully to improve it, it was some thick rough washing grains that seemed to do the trick. I also believe that exfoliating the entire body is hugely beneficial! Anyone who does self tanning knows that …
Stress is probably one of the most ageing things there is. Just look at presidents and prime ministers when they take office with shiny hair and optimistic faces and cut to 5 or so years down the line and there is a grey haired haggard looking individual. It can also take a serious toll on health. Here we have a …
Is staying younger really possible? Is it all just a desperate and ultimately futile attempt to hold back the years? Ageing chronologically is inevitable, but being “old” I believe is something we can most definitely do something about. Being older can be very positive. With age comes experience, wisdom, confidence and less agonising (hopefully) over the little stuff, caring less …
Posing for this stunning picture as they step out for a new TV dance contest, Dempsey And Makepeace’s Michael Brandon and Glynis Barber reveal why their unlikely showbiz marriage has lasted against the odds A Daily Mail Article by Jenny Johnston
We cha cha cha’d, we shook our booty, we danced ourselves into a frenzy but……failed to impress the judges! Wayne Sleep was lovely and fair as ever but the others seemed to have it in for my man! They gave him no credit whatever in learning a very fast and furious dance in 4 days! They threw insults at him …
Oh dear oh dear! Our second dance went down like a cup of cold tea! While everyone else shimmied and smouldered, we did Line Dancing with such a huge crowd of backing dancers that you couldn’t even see us! Our one big moment of jumping backwards off our platform and crowd surfing was completely lost by the strange sideways camera …
