I’m just going to put it out there, okay. I love coconut oil and I use it for a lot of things. Other than for cooking, it’s also my holy grail beauty item. I use it on my face, lips, nails, and hair, and let them absorb its benefiting goodness. Natural oils such as this, [...]

I have been using my Clarisonic Mia Sonic Cleaning System for about a year now, and I am telling you guys, this piece of amazingness is worth every penny. It is not exactly cheap, as the price of this ranges from about 100 dollars to 140, but it’s worth the price you will be paying. [...]

I decided to delve into my newly acquired QVC nail polish to create the manicure I have been wearing this week. The polish I subjected to my nail art was ‘Coconutty’ by Leighton Denny which I used for the base colour. It is a lovely nude like brown with gold iridescent flecks that shimmer through. [...]

Yesterday when the sun came out after raining for most of the day (it is England though so what did I expect), I realised that I had left my sunglasses at home. As I am currently at university this posed a problem, do I buy a new pair or just wait until I go home? [...]

Oops, I’ve done it again! The boyfriends turned on the TV to QVC and before I know it I have the laptop in my hands and I’m logging in and purchasing yet another set of nail polish. This time it was a set by Leighton Denny. Even though it was an impulse purchase, I am [...]

With the outbreak of warm weather we’ve had this past week or so I’ve gone into full summer mode when it comes to perfume. I’ve put away the heavier scents along with my winter jumpers and dug out my favourite light fragrances, including the fresh citrus one I told you about here. I’ve also received [...]

Yes, this shampoo and conditioner from Alterna does contain caviar extract, which is something I’ve eaten in the past, but never put on my hair before. Happily they bear no resemblance in smell or texture to that fishy delicacy. Like this?Read more… Recommended by 40s Chic

When I was younger there were very few shops to buy make-up, toiletries, or anything similar. From the age of nine, I commuted to school in Oxford, where there was a large Boots. It was my go-to shop firstly for toiletries and then, when I moved on to it, for make-up. I have fond memories [...]

Secundus was once again at a party, the King was, unbeknownst to us, buying himself two pairs of jeans (he is somewhat sartorially challenged and buys clothes about once every 18 months), and Prima and I were reading Things to do with Mum when we came across a recipe for Lavender Hair Rinse. This was [...]
