If we’re being kind to ourselves, and why wouldn’t we? we should, in truth, run a stocktake at the end of every week. One of the keys to doing that is to have a system that requires no thinking but plenty of feeling. We’re all guilty of over-thinking ourselves and almost everything else in our …
If you can’t remember when you last cleaned your makeup brushes and sponges, then now might be a good time to give them a bit of a spring clean … If you have noticed that your foundation looks streaky after you apply it, or that your blusher is looking blotchy … your brushes are probably to …
How often have you heard Less is More when it comes to makeup? Especially when talking about women who are no longer in the first, or even second flush of youth. We hear it all the time, but we never think it applies to us! No-no no no … But we certainly know when somebody else is …

But you’re probably still wearing jeans so you’re hanging in there! Going shopping and going …
The Subtle Art of Accessorising seems to be disappearing. Is it because we’ve lost the knack, or never had the knack? Whatever happened to bleeding colours through an outfit with jewellery, scarves, gloves? Why do so many women seem to be locked into dressing down rather than dressing UP?! When we could be using accessories to enhance… even flatter? …
