Although I’m having a bit of a romance with Jo Malone hand washes (orange blossom… it’s an addiction) I’ve also got solid soaps everywhere. Currently, some tiny Clarins ones that…

Well, this is all the February birthdays taken care of! Somehow Jo Malone has managed to make a cold and rainy, blustery London day look positively charming! There are three…

Well, we’re on the home run now so I expect that you’re all done on shopping – somewhat miraculously, I finished mine on Monday and they’re all but one wrapped…

I was in my local M&S on Saturday and noticed that there was 50% off much of homeware and Christmassy things, so I’ve checked on-line this morning and discovered that…

I’ve surprised myself by loving the Frosted Plum fragrance – sweety-fruity but not horribly sickly. It’s Christmassy and happy although using the exfoliating sugar body scrub was a bit like…

I’ve got several friends who are teachers and the one thing they don’t particularly want at Christmas is over-gifting! 32 bits of clutter is something that nobody will thank you…
