Last Wednesday evening after a long day at work I set off to Islington. Now let me tell you that I don't often go this far north of the river. I live in a part of South London that my daughter prefers to call "near Wimbledon" and so my journey North on the Northern line was… Continue reading L’Erbolario – beauty Italian style in Islington

I was really spoiled on the night and went home with a goodie bag full of La Roche-Posay goodies. I've now had the chance to try 3 of the products… Continue reading Reviews – La Roche Posay Serozinc, Toleriane Ultra & Physiological Cleansing Gel

Strand on Beauty Giveaway – Get your skin ready for Christmas!
In the last few weeks we've all been bombarded with posts about what to buy for Christmas and I've started to wonder whether some of us might be spending so much time on shopping for gifts for others and forgetting that we need to take care of our own skin so that we look our best through… Continue reading Strand on Beauty Giveaway – Get your skin ready for Christmas!

Under the Influence
I've always thought of myself as a bit different from your average beauty blogger. Aside from the obvious age difference (most bloggers are 30-40 years younger than me!)

Fragrance Reviews – Cartier La Panthere, Van Cleef & Arpels First Edition Or & (one for the boys) Jimmy Choo Man
It felt like Christmas had come early for me when these three beauties arrived this week. Having new perfume and unwrapping and unboxing it is all part of the excitement for me and I relate this experience to special occasions such as birthday or Christmas or very occasionally a special treat for myself.

A fresh look at Bronnley
A couple of weeks ago I came across a brand that I had kind of discounted as not being relevant to me and my beauty needs. I had Bronnley down as the brand that makes traditional boxes of soap that you buy for your Gran for Christmas that she then donates to the church raffle. So… Continue reading A fresh look at Bronnley
