Some brands are still trying to tell us how they’d like their product publicised by us and recommended to readers by us, thank you very much. Pointless to invite on-line writers to a launch in November and insist it can’t be spoken about until February 2010. So, […]
Quite Right, Mrs White
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
I love these new ‘Old Soak’ bathing salts from apothecary style bath and body range Mrs White. There’s nothing old fashioned about bathing salts these days, and I swear by a sea salt bath for soothing shopping induced aches and pains. The Mrs White range uses English […]
The Absence Of Armani

[?]Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
Since I never, ever hear a word from the Giorgio Armani press office, despite years of begging (although I gave up a long time ago - it’s not like there aren’t hundreds of make up brands to feature instead), I have spotted this rather beautiful set out […]
Heidi Klum for Victoria’s Secret
Rating 4.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
Unlike some other collaborations, Heidi Klum’s make up for Victoria’s Secret is really beautiful and looks like a lot of effort has gone into making it stand out from the crowd. Given that rumours are rife that VS is coming to the UK, it seems as though […]

When I was in my teens, I always got one of these amazing sets for Christmas so whenever I see them now, they always evoke lovely memories. I’d sneak the box up to my bedroom and pick over each piece, smelling the lipsticks (and to this day […]

Weird - felt terrible all morning…skipped my workout and had a nap instead.
I’m still only about 80% right now, plus my legs and glutes are really sore from filming TT Abs beginner workouts last night and from squats on Monday.
Should be 100% tomorrow…
This might be helpful for […]

Happy Black Friday, everyone! You didn’t think I’d pass up this opportunity to talk about this particular movie, did you? Admittedly, it has been a while since I’ve seen a movie based on a book, so I’m a bit out of practice… but giving it a good go.

Compiling a list of 50 best jazz albums is, as reader Derick put it, like “walking blindfolded through a mine field.” Proceeding on the principle that rules are made to be broken, I made rules and broke them. But it has been fun and […]
