Happy Christmas!

So, here we are again! A very big thank you to everyone who has stopped by over the last year – BBB is tipping towards its 11th year which I find very hard to believe even though I’m the one writing it.

You might have everything absolutely set in place for a perfect Christmas but just a quick reminder that it’s only TV Christmas scenes that are actually perfect. Real families are rubbish at being perfectionists despite every good intent. I think you just have to enjoy the imperfection of it all. Steep yourself in Baileys and raise a toast to those that keep you sane.

If you’re on your own at Christmas – so many people are, for a million different reasons – good walk, good film and good food. One does not deserve this less than many.

It’s a really tough time for a lot of people – not a celebration day but self-preservation day. But, it is only one day. On the other side of it is some semblance of normality: cosset yourself as much as you can and if you feel very bleak, the Samaritan line is 116123. You can email them too at jo@samaritans.org.

    Keep up the great work Jane.

    Totally agree as someone who is on their own(well there is the cat), I just do my own thing, go out in the morning call around to visit a few friends come home to cook and eat what I want and relax.

    Thank you Jane for another year of excellent updates on products, companies, offers, with insightful context and well-considered opinion pieces – catching up with your blog is my daily treat when I get in from work 🙂

    Very best wishes to all for a happy and calm Christmas and New Year – and yes, for all the other “ordinary” days too!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family, Jane. Thank you for being the voice of beauty sanity and both saving me and getting me to spend a fortune on products! I’m honestly grateful for a beauty blog that is truthful, doesn’t make you think you are hideous unless you have certain products, recognises that people have various budgets and price points and is like having a beauty chat with a trusted friend. The number of times I’ve been at a beauty counter or shop and said “BBB said” or “I saw this on BBB and it sounded perfect for me”, I’m sure they now all know of you!

    Thank you for your blog. It’s always a bright spot in my day when I remember to pop over for a read. So pleased to have an older woman who knows what’s what reviewing products and trends.

      Thank you so much Sandra!
