The Rules of Being Glamorous

Do you think you live a glamorous life? What do you think glamour is? Is it designer clothes and the latest IT bag? Is it sleeping on satin sheets and eating smoked salmon for breakfast? Is it wearing diamonds and heels to the supermarket? I’m quite devoted to bringing a bit of glamour into my

Another Week in Food

Back in October I posted my food diary for the week. The idea was to get an idea where my diet was falling down, and where it could be improved to help me with my fitness goals, and with my weight loss goals. I felt I ate far too much processed food, and set myself

Time for Tennis

Wimbledon starts today, hurrah! Much like the football, tennis isn’t something I follow on a regular basis. I watch it occasionally when a big tournament and a player I know is on, but I don’t cry when I miss it. However, when Wimbledon comes around I get all absorbed, eat a lot of strawberries and

Retro Chick Reviews: Vintage Swimwear from Bettylicious

Ah Swimwear Season. Magazines always call it that, so it must be true, but I guess it’s only swimwear season if you’ve booked a holiday somewhere nice. If you’re staying in the UK for your holidays then you’re unlikely to be popping to the shops in a swimsuit. Still, a decent swimsuit is something I’ve

A Post About Nothing

But mostly it’s just you, sitting there at your computer,

I’ve had it for months and had no opportunity to wear it, but the birthday party of Indigo Tattoo Studio featuring burlesque, and an Amazonian theme seemed the perfect opportunity.

Summer Frocks and Pies

Is it hot enough for you? I don’t know what it’s like where you are, but here it’s meltingly hot. It didn’t look that warm, then I went outside for a minute and a half and immediately came back in where it’s cool and I can see things. As it cools down later I plan

4 Fitness Habits You’ll Never Catch Me Doing (and 3 I Plan to Try)

Yeah I know, never say never, I mean just 2 years ago I’d have laughed in your face if you’d told me I’d be running a Half Marathon at all, let alone gearing up to start training for my second, and if you’d told me in April last year that I’d be spending a large

Purple Hair and A New Compact

A few weeks ago I got the nicest email. All the way back in 2011 a company got in touch and offered to send me a vintage powder compact to review, which I did. Then while I was on holiday an email came through thanking me for my help back then in the beginning, and
