Wed, 13 March 2013 12:40PM
I don’t kid myself that I am ever going to look like Jessica Alba. Even in an out-of-focus, filtered-to-the-hilt Instagram snap. But, hey, a girl can always dream, right?

Sun, 10 March 2013 12:53PM
Take a deep breath ‘cos I’m going all green on you today. While I could be referring to the colour of tea sitting next to me on my desk or the strings of beads around my neck, conveniently covering the fact that I managed to spill a glob of toothpaste down my grey t-shirt before… more

We all have times in life when we want to detox. We de-friend. We sort our wardrobes into chuck and charity piles. We put away the wine glasses for a while (a shout-out to all you FebFasters!).

You probably know my love of all things French by now. Brigitte Bardot, Paris, champagne, parfum … the list could go on and on. I’ve also blogged about my adoration of a certain cult cleansing water known as BioDerma Créaline H2O, $39.95, from selected pharmacies (see Cosmétiques de France for a store locator).

Natural vs Synthetic Fragrance. Or, When a Rose is Not a Rose.
Wed, 15 August 2012 11:38AM
I was chatting to a girlfriend the other day and we got onto the subject of fragrance (if it’s not Ryan Gosling or Revenge or rising electricity costs, it’s usually something beauty-related). “I only wear natural perfume,” she declared.
