I come to the rescue with my top beauty essentials for the party season. Lots of my friends have asked me so I hope you’ll find my list useful.
I spent the best part of Summer outside on the beach. Unfortunately, soaking up sunshine and chlorine damages our skin and shows in your complexion in the autumn and winter months. For mature skin (like mine), the sun leaves behind uneven…
The typically unpredictable British Summer has arrived and has brought lots of rain and sticky weather scattered with some sunshine. That calls for practical outdoor clothing and I have just reviewed the perfect set of clothes for both myself and my active 9 year old son from the Mountain Warehouse.
My family is always very busy with outdoor activities including tennis, football and cycling. In…
Media are increasingly covering Laser Hair removal as an alternative to regular painful hair removal. I have removed my hair since I was 16 and I don’t particularly like it although I like the feel of my skin afterwards. In this piece you will find out the benefits of laser hair removal.

Do you know the movie Sleepers? It’s one of my favourite ones.
At the beginning of the story the narrator says: “This is a true story about friendship that runs deeper than blood.”
