City Living, Country Life – the best of both worlds
I added this coconut water brand to my weekly shop, I’m not ashamed to admit, purely on the basis of its beautiful packaging. Isn’t it stunning? We are usually a Vita Coco household but what can I say – new year, new coconut water (isn’t that how the saying goes?!)…
Last year I made the conscious decision to ditch the guilt-ridden New Year’s Resolutions of denial and focus on resolving to enhance my life in some way instead – namely by learning Italian. So, one year on – how did I fair? Not too bad as it goes. I’m by…
So, I can only apologise for a break in services – it’s been almost a month since my last post! – forgive me? I was trucking on, full steam ahead, in the run-up to Christmas, all cards written, presents bought and food planned. I was about to start knocking out…
Here it is – I don’t know what came over me. We were all stood there looking at trees and I just said – ‘give me the big one’. We had to shave a bit off the bottom to get the angel on top, but I guess that’s what Christmas…
Following on from my previous review of Jour Pour Femme by Hugo Boss as a great gifting fragrance this Christmas, here’s one for the boys. I’ve repurchased this for the OH this year as we were talking about scents last week and he mentioned this as ‘one of his favourite…
I have had to delay my post on this fragrance, as for the last two weeks I haven’t been able to smell a thing! GREAT on the nappy changing front, not so good when you want to review a new perfume! As a teen I was OBSESSED with Hugo Boss…
Things have gone REALLLLLY wrong for me on the skin front over the last month. First I got the mother of all colds – cue red, chapped nose/lips and dark, dark eyebags – then to top things off a chest infection that, three weeks later, doesn’t seem to want to…
It is with rather a sleigh-load of trepidation that I am taking over the reins of Christmas Day hostess this year. Gulp. As the first year without Daddy, we figured being in the family home was probably not going to help, so have decided to do everything differently this year…
I. can’t. stop. thinking. about. this. jumper. It’s £385 big ones. Plus it has tin foil stuck to it. But it’s Christmas, you know? I want it reeealllllllly bad (yes, I did just stamp my foot). I keep spotting it in the December issues and all the Sunday supplements which…
As per my rant in the first of my ‘Christmas gift’ themed posts, I am of the school of thought that presents, whether Birthday or Christmas, should be highly indulgent and absolutely something that the recipient wouldn’t buy for themselves, but is either a pimped version of an everyday item…
Could this be the most loved Laura Mercier lip palette?! It was a press gift many moons ago and didn’t even make it to the beauty cupboard when I got back to the office, it was a firm staple in my handbag from first sight and, as you can see,…
Regular readers will be more than aware of exactly how much I love Nakd bars, as an on-the-go gluten-free snack that I know isn’t going to deliver me one enormous sugar high and then subsequent slump. However, as a bit of a change, my coat pockets/bike basket/desk top have been…
