    Hello there Me again. Sometime last year, having been a subscriber to Harper’s Bazaar, I got the opportunity to buy a Bazaar Beauty box at a ‘special’ price… not one to miss out on a bargain, I naturally went for it. Once this was received I automatically took out the make up, paying not a…

  • Menopausal Madness

    Hi, Sorry for the delay in posting but the very warm temperatures merely added to my already overheated body, the flushes were bad enough without the HEATWAVE (well, it was, for here), the menopause is not kind, it doesn’t stop to think, hey, Winter would be better, no, it thinks 28 degrees outside and flushes…

  • 2 for the price of 1

    So, my Friday has arrived… I have been out shopping this afternoon and my friend has just called to see if I fancy going for a wee cheeky vino. I really don’t want to get changed, however, I know our 1 drink will lead to a few and I don’t want to feel underdressed when…

  • Tea time

    This season’s favoured look is the tea dress, it certainly is for me, particularly as nothing fits anymore and I have to go back into the office .( I didn’t think the PJ’s were appropriate, comfortable but not really suitable!!) The tea dress covers a multitude of sins, just about any shape or size can…

  • Dang…. this is good stuff.

    So. I purchased this to put in with a friend’s birthday gift. I then decided I had already bought her enough, didn’t like her that much anyway and she didn’t deserve it… so I kept it ……………………..AND I am soooo glad I did. It is great, particularly with all the hand washing and sanitising we…

  • Sunday Saviours

    So, I thought I would have a wee change of tact today and share what I am enjoying wearing on my face, (balaclava not an option unfortunately). Having enjoyed some sunshine whilst vacationing and now having a bit of colour on my old white body, I am opting for a more sun kissed glow, unfortunately…

  • What’s hot for Summer 2022???

    Well, listen up and I will tell you……………………… Baggy or wide leg trousers or both, the baggier and wider the better. These styles of trousers are always better with something tucked in at the waist, otherwise you are in danger of just looking like a sloppy mess. Big, bright and bold patterns in skirts and…

  • June is bustin’out all over.

    A friend of mine recently asked (today, in fact) for advice on what style of top/dress she should wear (as she is rather well endowed n the bust area) and whilst I myself have never had that problem, I could still give her some tips. I thought I would share them with you. Always make…
