Retro Chick Reviews: Soap and Glory Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser

I went away for 4 days without my wash bag. This is an unmitigated disaster. I had to immediately go to Boots and rebuy an entire washbag full of products. Instead of buying cheap stuff to see me through I decided to buy my regular products, as I knew I’d have to buy more again

Last night was the launch of Norwich Fashion Week. I was offered a VIP ticket to the launch show at The Forum, so decided to get my glad rags on and pop along. I decided to call last nights look Rock n Roll Vintage, but only in my head, I didn’t say that out loud,

From Red to Blonde

Actually I was a blonde for years. I’ve been blonde, blue black, black black and had a red streak in the front. I’ve used mousses, semi permanents, permanents, once, disastrously, bleach and those weird pot things that you shake up. But about 6 months before I started blogging in 2008 I went bright red, and
