Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
If you’re a naturally pale peep like me, you’ll know how hard it is to find a decent bronzer. Also, finding one that isn’t riddled with shimmer is almost impossible. (So many people assume that if you want to add a bit of colour, you’ll want sparkle too, but this is the fastest way to […]
Read MoreLet me start off by ‘fessing up and telling you that I’m actually not a Glee fan. Sure, I’ve caught the show on TV, but have never understood the obsessive hype. My friend Cyndi, however, is a diehard self-confessed ‘Gleek’. (We used to sit next to each other back at Jupiter Drawing Room and I’d watch her spend […]
Read MoreAn interesting little pakkie arrived on my desk the other day; a teaser regarding the launch of Skip’s new Fibre Protect liquid detergent that’ll take place later this week: Included in the package was a gorgeous little snood and three sample sachets of Skip’s new liquid.

Read MoreAs many of you know, I’m going through an issue that I can’t legally talk about just yet a bit of a ‘thing’ at the moment and haven’t felt my sunshiny best. Thus, I decided to revel in an entire week of miz, drinking excessive amounts of ‘comfort booze’ and crying to Crowded House songs in my car… Still, as bleakness isn’t my […]
Read MoreOkay, so it’s no secret I like lip gloss, but if you’ve been reading my shizz for a while you’ll know I also like to pretty up my pages with gorgeous innapropriately young boys… So, when my friend Jules’ boyf sent me a FB ‘hoezit’ after meeting at Nicky Greenwall’s bash, I just haaad to take the opportunity to Facebook […]
Read MoreI got some semi-crappy news earlier this week and its full effects kinda reached maximum impact yesterday. Even though I’d RSVPed to attend the launch party for Nicky Greenwall’s new TV show, The Close Up, I felt like I just couldn’t do it and sent Marina Nestel, the PR queen who threw it together, a […]

Read MoreThe other day I was sent a press release regarding Ava Secrets, a new-ish brand of tampons packaged in a cutesy little tin. ‘Don’t you wanna put this on your blog?’, asked the darling PR peep. Er… no, not really… Thing is, despite the fact that my blog is intended for my girlies, I’ve garnered a fair […]
Read MoreSpring is pretty much on our doorstep so I’m making a point of cutting my calorie intake (mostly ‘cos I’m too busy/lazy) to hit up the gym. Anyhoo, when I decide to do something I klap it hard, so I got all seriyas and bought myself a diet scale from Clicks. (Can’t remember how much […]
