Let The Sunshine In with Vitamin D: Better You D-Lux Spray and Inner Me
Devoted readers might have noticed that I have conspicuously failed to get many posts up in recent months. This is not due to my dominant traits of laziness or procrastination, it is down to the tragically sunless winter and spring that London has just endured. I don’t like it when it’s cold. I hate it when it’s […]

Elemental Herbology Moisture Replenish Starter Kit – The Perfect At-Home Facial In A Very Pretty Box
Elemental Herbology has featured on my list: ‘brands that look good: research and find out more’ for quite some time now. Sadly, that particular list has to take a back-seat to the list of ‘overdue posts to write’, so I was very pleased when earlier this month I was given the Elemental Herbology Moisture Replenish Starter […]
In Other News … & Other Stories
& Other Stories opened on Regent Street this week, just down from Oxford Circus tube station. & Other Stories is the latest store brought to us by H&M Group. I have loved H&M since the early ’90s, when they religiously carried Pippi Longstocking childrenswear, despite no-one in the UK knowing who Pippi was. I’m quite […]

T-T-T-T-T TopKase! The most effectual … TopKase iPhone cover review
“Just looked at @TopKase site – case seems to have a rolling shutter for your phone similar to a roll-top desk? If so, AMAZING!” That was the tweet I sent to TopKase that led to their lovely PR, Sophie, sending me a case to review. Why was I so excited about that rolling shutter? Two […]
Too Much Is Never Enough … But It Can Slow You Down LFW A/W 13-14
[col grid=”2-1 first”] I’ve been very busy lately. I’ve had a wonderful time, and it’s all been fabulously good fun and very exciting, but all this gadding about has left me with no time to write anything. I’m writing now, of course, but whilst I create my purple prose, I thought I could show you what […]

Go curls, go! Urban Therapy twistedsista Curl Activator review

Haircare brand Urban Therapy’s twistedsista were represented at the event with a table of product to check out […]
There Was A Soaper, A Scottish Soaper
It’s Burns Night tonight! This has naturally turned my thoughts towards all things Scottish, but particularly Robert Burns himself. ‘Dirty Wee Rabbie‘ as my Grandad used to call him, in a warm tone that signified high approval of Rabbie’s philandering, kirk-bothering habits. I think the perfect way for me to celebrate Dirty Wee Rabbie is […]
