Did someone say orange lips?
By on 09 February 12Just when you thought it was safe to drop by my blog and say hi without fear of being assaulted by my obsession with orange, I’m sorry, I’m going there again.

Three reasons why a facial should be on your must-do list
By on 02 February 12It’s been over a month since I had the facial I’m posting about today. Why wait, you ask? Well, there was this little thing called Christmas and an attempt to have a part-time break but that wasn’t all. With this facial, I wanted to test its long-term benefits.

It’s official: I am a rat. A spa rat.
By on 19 January 12Dear Doctor, I’m a little concerned and I’m hoping you can help me. See, it’s like this. I have a thing for fluffy towels. Can’t get enough of them. Oh, and also a quality white robe. One that fits me and doesn’t make me look like a towelling Michelin man. I kind of need to [...]
Future beauty: what you’ll be buying very soon
By on 12 January 12I’ve just read a humorous post over at Beautyholics Anonymous and I’m still laughing as most days I do so many of points that Tine mentioned.

How to look bright and shiny when you’re not
By on 18 December 11I could count the number of hours sleep I’ve had over the past few days on my two hands but I could not care. I’ve had a ball. A blogging ball.

Guest post: Lipstick isn’t just for old people!
By on 07 December 11Something happened when I turned 30. Yes, the fine lines started to form and the metabolism slowed down, but something amazing happened in the beauty department.
