Natural & Organic Products Europe 2017
The Natural & Organic Products Europe 2017 show rolled into Excel London at the beginning of April this year, and for the first time ever, I was in attendance.

Perfectly Packaged Pommade Divine
I have only recently noticed the heritage skincare product Pommade Divine, and it was the beautiful packaging that caught my attention. I love products with provenance, and Pommade Divine’s goes back centuries.

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 […]
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 […]
