I have spent the weekend trying to imagine that I’m somewhere far hotter and dryer than I actually am. Spritzing myself with l’Occitane’s ‘Calanques’ fragrance (last year’s but I treasure it as it smells like the beach) and wallowing in…
I came across this little beauty of a cleanser recently whilst researching products for sensitive skin and then took it away on my camping trip. Oh, sorry? Did I not mention that I went camping? That I. Went camping? Funny…
This is my “outfit of the day from last week” – I haven’t done one of these little posts in ages, and I was, for once, not wearing my pyjama or tracksuit bottoms, so I thought I’d record the momentous…

Does anyone else have toothpaste wars in their household? He likes the stripy paste, you like the white one. He likes a pump-action bottle, you think it’s ridiculous because it falls into the sink every ten seconds. You like a…
Another gorgeous, easy to use bronzer. This one has a whole mosaic (hence the name) of varying bronzer shades on a pale background and the resulting effect is very pretty and fool-proof. Shade-wise, the final ‘depth’ of colour is about…
