Ain’t No Party Like a BeautyMART Party … Brand Experts at BeautyMART
When BeautyMART hold an event, it is ALWAYS worth going. ‘Brand Experts at BeautyMART’ on May 30th 2013 was a ticketed event that allowed beauty lovers to get advice, try products, chat, laugh and swig Prosecco with Beauty Industry Geniuses. Many of London’s leading beauty halls have put on similar events recently, but for me, BeautyMART did it […]
From Fine & Flyaway to Lustrous Locks! (New Year New Riah Part 2: It CAN be done …)
Devoted readers might recall that I am on a quest to revitalise my alarmingly fine hair. My first post on this subject was back in January, when I resolved, with all manner of True Grit, that I would make 2013: New Year, New Riah. Optimistic fool that I am, I promised to update on my progress […]
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 […]

Go curls, go! Urban Therapy twistedsista Curl Activator review
I attended the fabulously well-organised and hugely enjoyable @BBloggersXmas event back in December. Organised by @iamlolastar and @KoKoSecrets, this event has gone down in #bblogger history for being well-planned, fantastically enjoyable and providing the hugest, most wrist-breaking goodie bags imaginable. 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 […]

Purely Natural offer a range of hand-made face and body products created using natural ingredients and certified as suitable for vegans. Regular readers […]
Beautify Me, Give Me Lustrous Locks!
Not so much a New Year Resolution, more a plea to the Gods: New Year, New Riah!* The constant reader might know that my hair is something of a trial. I have grown very used to my follicular inadequacies, but this year, thanks to the lovely Nikki Cooper of Inner Me, I am going to […]
