where the science and art of style collide
Skin is so important. It’s the largest organ of your body and for me it’s always been the part of me that indicates how well I’m looking after myself. Not enough sleep, dark circles around my eyes. Not enough zinc or not enough self-care, break out city. Until I was 26 and took radical [...]
Sponsored by Nuffnang I remember when I was growing up that I was told that men sweat, ballerinas perspire and women glow. The reality is that I have been known to sweat and perspire through my glow. Dove asked me to road-test their new Pure range of anti-perspirant deodorants for a week and they want [...]
Sponsored by Nuffnang Most women want a well functioning wardrobe, but aren’t sure exactly how to go about getting one. They want to stop wasting money on clothes, yet shop in a random fashion, without a list and then wonder why they have a wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear. If this sounds [...]
Many of you are aware that I have a couple of kids, and they’re not adopted, so my stomach has been stretched a couple of times over the years. The skin isn’t the taut skin it was pre-pregnancy, it’s now a soft and yummy tummy. A few years ago I discovered the brand Yummie Tummie, [...]
Nope, I’ve no real idea what a Scottish man wears under his kilt, but I can tell you that this morning, as I was figuring out what to wear for cold Melbourne winter day, I remembered that I’d been sent a Snugbod Body Suit to try out. Now I layer a lot in winter, most [...]
I’m going to start out by telling you that I hate ironing. I don’t find it theraputic as a few people have told me that they do find it. I find it boring, repetitive, frustrating and frankly I’d rather be cleaning the toilet. When I was asked to road-test the Tefal Pro Express Turbo Anti Calc [...]
Australia, as many of you would be aware, has a lot of sunshine and sunglasses are an essential item to have. In fact I keep two pairs of sunglasses in my car (one for the emergency when I’ve accidentally taken out my regular driving sunglasses), plus I have a pair in my handbag and a [...]
The lovely peeps at Bragbag have given me one of their handbag organisers to review and want to give one of my lovely readers a handbag organiser of their own! I’ve discovered that I really need a handbag organiser. I’m the kind of girl who likes to change handbags frequently and particularly if you’ve got [...]
My natural zoom function is rapidly disappearing. According to my optometrist friend, by the age of 45, most people have lost their ability to zoom and require glasses to read smaller print. Also, by the age of 40 you need 30% more light to read than you needed at 20. These days I [...]
When I take a clients shopping I do on average 4000 steps in 2 hours (back and forth from changing rooms, from store to store) and I usually wear flats. But after I was sent some Stiletto Hardware heel and toe cushions to try, I thought I’d try spending a couple of hours in [...]
