Controversial Cameron
So I read a little article the other day that piqued my attention. A subject that I had decided to keep to myself. Just for once, I thought I’d keep quiet. It’s been killing me, but seeing the topic in question is very much a beauty issue I shall proceed. I have to admit, finding […]
Tinkering around the edges. What was I waiting for?
It starts with procrastination. I’ve been tinkering around the edge with an idea to write a blog and create a website for a while. First in 2008 then later in 2010, but my plans were shuttled off into a slightly different direction, still with a blog about beauty at the heart of it. Beauty and […]
Quitting sugar or just cutting back a little?
Quitting sugar? Cold turkey or just cutting back a little? For me, cutting back on sugar began on April 10th 2012, and as my sister likes to remind me, it was the Easter Weekend. What great timing, what a great way to prove my resolve. You may think giving up sugar at a time when […]

Why your skincare never works for you.
When things start to change. This is an article about your skincare dilemma’s but first, let me begin with a story. When I was in my mid-forties, I started to notice a change in my body shape. I was starting to gain weight around the midsection. In my opinion, this is the worst possible place […]
Confessions of an occasional beauty addict.
A career in beauty. I began my career as a beauty therapist, which covers everything related to beauty. Facials, painting nails, plucking eyebrows, extending lashes or waxing away the hirsute needs of clients are just a few of the services you can expect. I realised very early in my education; a career in beauty was […]
Is your hair and makeup ‘look’ ageing you?
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Or is it the more time passes, the more things stay the same? Yesterday, while thinking about what I’d write about today, my mind was cast back to a friend who I hadn’t seen for years, I literally bumped in to, so out of the blue, it […]
