Here's Angelica waiting patiently for her nails to dry (kids' polish) whilst watching Teletubbies on the iPad. My heart can't take it, she's so tiny, yet so grown up - imagine what emotional turmoil I'm going to be in when she hits her teens! She's only three, so...
These shiny pots are a devil to take photos of: apologies. I actually got rather a shock when I edited my pictures because my gurning "concentrating" face appeared in one of the reflections - well, half of my face. The other half was behind the camera. At any rate,...
At 37 weeks pregnant I'm down to the last pair of pants that don't irritate my c-section scar, don't fall down and don't cut into my bump and make it all itchy. Maternity knickers are a real problem, I think, if you have a previous caesarean scar - you don't want...
I've already written about my marvellous Lime Wood Hotel mini-break (see here) but I promised that I'd talk more about their spa (The Herb House) and - more specifically - the gorgeous Pai Skincare facial that I was treated to. I haven't had a lot of facials in the...
I have used Pai Skincare products for years - they specialise in formulating for very sensitive and intolerant skin and, though I don't have particularly touchy skin at all, there are certain products I've relied on to keep my face on an even keel during times of...
I'm a long-term fan of Pai's Echium Organic Eye Cream. I get terribly sore skin around my eyes after beauty shoots and I find it instantly calming and soothing - I often use it in a thicker layer as a leave-on mask during the day as well as a normal eye cream at...
I haven't really gone on too much about my "pregnancy" skin; mostly because, if truth be known, all has been quite plain-sailing. Actually, I'd go one better than that and say that my skin throughout pregnancy (apart from a few dodgy months at the start) has been the...
Well this is a red-and-a-half, isn't it? OPI's Coca Cola Red from the new Coca Cola collection. What an earth Coca Cola have to do with nail polish, I have no idea, but they seem to be all over the place these days with their "Share a Coke" campaign... This week I...
Pai Skincare have launched some brilliant beauty kits, the Anywhere Essentials Collections. I have always loved Pai for their gentle, soothing formulas; their Echium Eye Cream is my number one post-shoot eye treatment because it's so great at calming down any soreness...
A nice reader offer to end the week: Pai Skincare are giving away a free, award-winning Fragonia & Seabuckthorn Instant Hand Therapy Cream with every order of £30 and over. This includes the beautifully packaged Christmas gift sets which are priced at £30 for the...
Spotted: a rather good offer if you're feeling generous towards your sister! Pai skincare (brilliant, gentle products, great for sensitive or stressed-out skin) have put together a starter kit with full-sized Camelia & Rose Cleanser, choice of either Lotus &...
Estée Lauder's bestselling product, the Advanced Night Repair serum, has just had one serious upgrade. Some would say it's a risky business tinkering about with a formula that sells one bottle every 8.5 seconds, I'd say it's simply keeping up with the times. Beauty...
