Last Saturday saw my husband, Michael Brandon, and myself at ITV studios filming All Star Mr & Mrs! We weren’t entirely sure if this was a good idea to be honest. We had a feeling it would end in one extreme or the other. Complete humiliation that after many years of marriage we would have to admit to the nation …
The Diet that Changed my Life – Part 1
Glynis Last summer I went to see nutritionist Fleur Borrelli little knowing that she would make changes to the way I eat and the way I exercise that would have a very profound effect on my life. I would lose inches, as well as just under a stone/12lbs in weight, drop a dress size, gain lean muscle, have vastly improved …
Product of the Month – Beauty Blender
I was recently lucky enough to work with top make up artist Ruby Hammer (check out her Ruby & Millie range) on a photo shoot. As you would imagine, she’s a mine of information and knows every trick in the trade. She applied my foundation with a an egg shaped sponge and was adamant this sponge is an absolute must …
Cynthia Oreduba (professional & personal development coach / missing peace coach)
My grandmother whose name was None Such Can Be Beat was a beautiful woman and the older she got the more beautiful she became. When we went out together, she smiled and greeted everyone she passed. One day I asked her why she said hello to everybody. She told me that she spoke to everyone to give them some of …
DNA Anti-Ageing Test
This is the world’s first in-store DNA test and is right up my street. I love a bit of science and also the the idea of finding out if my DNA is helping or hindering with the ageing process. So when the the Organic Pharmacy invited me to go along and try it out, I jumped at the chance. Would …
Men’s Skincare
To my absolute delight it seems we have quite a few men following the site and now they are demanding more! They too want to know what’s best for their skin and what they should be looking out for. So here, specially for all you hunks out there (and remember you are a hunk in your Mum’s eyes whatever anybody …
20 Things you should consider in your anti-cancer programme
I came across this article this week on www.canceractive.com and thought it so important that I have decided to repost it here. This reinforces all that I believe is important to have and maintain good health. Although this is aimed at people who have or have had cancer, it is the very same advice that is needed to maintain good …
Hair Loss in Women
Hair loss is one of the topics that has been repeatedly requested for me to cover. We all know that this is a frequent problem for men but it’s also a frequent and very upsetting problem for women. Why does it happen and more importantly is there anything we can do to stop it? Shabir Daya (pharmacist at Victoria Health) …
QVC & Filming
Had great fun at QVC on the 2nd March. Party atmosphere thanks to John Barrowman livening up proceedings and Howard and I thrilled that our Yoga Secrets DVD was a sell out. Looking forward to doing more! Got to film with the charming Brendan Gleeson on All you need is Kill. I was a mere cog in …
Favourite Natural Skincare products
As I’ve written before I prefer to use products on my skin that are either organic and/or with as few synthetic chemicals as possible. We’re so lucky that these days we have such a wonderful range to choose from. Here are some of my favourites that I have used at different times over the years: Neal’s Yard They are true …
Organic Pharmacy’s Rose Balm
When I met Margo and Franco Marrone from the Organic Pharmacy the other week, they were launching their new Rose Balm. I have since fallen in love with this little pot of heaven. I have become addicted to the glorious smell (rose infused with argan, calendula, rose hip and more) and have no idea what people must think of me …
Organic skincare
So, in the far mists of time (November 2012 when I launched this site), you may remember me banging on about natural unprocessed food? Well, after my conversion to organic eating in the 80’s (a lonely path foraging for the small amount that was available), it was inevitable that one day it would occur to me that perhaps I should …
