New Year, New Riah: featuring Balmain Cosmetique and Paul Yacomine
Or more accurately, Last Year, Old Riah … I’ve been terrible at keeping the world updated with my hair woes and triumphs. A new reader might not even know that I have extremely fine hair, and that in the last couple of years it has been thinning around the crown and naturally wonky parting. I […]
The Perfect Concoction: The Bespoke Shampoo That Is Shots and a Cocktail In One!
Concoction, the custom mix shampoo range that blends the concepts of Chemistry and Cocktail Mixology to astonishingly good effect, launched in Selfridges last week. I’ve been watching twitter feeds blow up with exclamations along the lines of of  ‘So good!’, ‘Amazing!’ and ‘OMG IT REALLY works!’ ever since. This enthusiastic response to Concoction was no […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
Oh Me of Little Faith …
Do you remember me bewailing the lack of French hairpins in London? I bewailed it here, in French Chignons Are Beautiful Thanks To These. I should have trusted my instincts, and realised that an emporium as excellent as The Garden Pharmacy in Covent Garden WOULD have them. In my defence, I had looked, but with […]
Inner Me, Myself and I
