The joys of motherhood No.1 – My barnet
I thought (hoped) that I wouldn't need to blog about this little issue. It was to be a temporary setback... a phase that would pass quickly without too much trauma. Unfortunately, it hasn't and I now find myself desperate to vent a little (or a lot) about this...

Maybe I should do drugstore a bit more?
I have to admit to using very few true drugstore products. Although I'm not strictly a high-end only girl, I do shop at places like Lush and The Body Shop quite regularly, I am decidedly unadventurous when it comes to sampling the sorts of products on offer in Boots...

Cherries in the Snow
I love this vintage ad for Revlon's iconic lipstick and nail polish. Please enlarge it and read the teeny-tiny writing... are you as strange and unexpected as cherries in the snow?!! Classic! I also love that I can wear a genuine 1950s shade. I adore this colour (and...

Going Up...I've had such an amazing weekend celebrating my results. I'm sure it was a lot more low-key than most students but bearing in mind the two kiddlywinks I think I did well. We kicked off on Friday afternoon with chocolate cake and pink champagne followed by...

I seem to have misplaced my shopping mojo…
