Fashion & Beauty, Life
Feb 18, 2014
I found my first grey hair when I was 25-years old. Closer examination revealed clusters of silver strands across my crown and decorating my hairline. I panicked, attacked the brightest of the bunch with a pair of tweezers, then rushed out to buy a home colour kit to tackle the rest. I

So, I guess we are to assume from the recent nosedive in temperatures, oh and ALL the rain, that Summer has come to an abrupt end. I don’t feel as cheated as I usually do by an early Autumn, which is probably because I do feel like we had a decent amount

I knew you were the one for me after our very first meeting. The conversation flowed easily, you were not too demanding of my time and you made me feel better about myself. For 6-years, you have made me happy. I still feel excited when I know I am going to see

I was chatting to a colleague at work the other day, and we got to talking about memories. She asked if I had to pay for my memories, which ones would I keep? Obviously, I would give everything in my bank account to keep the memories from my wedding to the Greek

May 25, 2012
Friday So, you will be relieved to know we did not all die in a tragic plane crash. The aircraft bunny-hopped along the runway for a bit before landing in one piece at JFK. As soon as we touched down safely, the whole cabin erupted into applause. Somebody, somewhere, WOOPED (that may

Remember last year, when I asked my gorgeous friend and L.A. based über stylist, Courtenay Brandt, to write Yummy Mummy: The How to Guide for you all? So many of you flocked to ASOS to order the Dolce Vita Pali wedges, that they sold out that same day! Well, Courtenay is back for

A few months back, I made a decision not to fad diet again and wrote about it here in a post titled No-No Dieting. For the most part, I have stuck to this. I try to be healthy and watch what I put into my mouth, but I do not beat myself up over
