  Happy 2013 to you all! As a new year dawns, I’ve noticed several things are in fairly short supply, namely: hours of useable daylight, money and clothes, which feel a bit more ‘snug’! The snugness issue is of course my own fault, as I’ve been substituting one of my ‘Five-a-day’ for chocolate, well, chocolate is bean based after all - since sometime in November.

Our boobs need a bit of TLC; unfortunately, there is no such thing as a miracle cream, however, massaging a treatment cream on our boobs every day will help fight southwards slippage. It's also great in conjunction with a regular self check for lumps, bumps and … [Read more...]

We all have our tried and tested ways of moisturising our precious bods. For some, lotion is the best solution. For me, come rain or shine, it's on with the body cream.

In the last month of testing, I have come full circle on oils which previously I’d written off as too time-consuming, way too messy and just too, well, oily! Wrong! Modern … [Read more...]
