simple vintage wedding
I love this retro dress (only US$45!) from Ryan Nicole Vintage. It would be perfect for a minimalist, simply beautiful wedding in a tiny country church or a beautiful spring garden. The bridesmaids might be in fluid floral dresses and flat golden sandals; a simple bouquet of white or yellow daisies or scented jasmine. All […]
beauty favourites in 2011
January 30, 2012
Dear beauties, I am back after a sojourn in the world of pre-baby, which has included working from home to finish up some other work projects, feeling anxious about the state of the pantry/fridge/cupboards/house in general and watching The Australian Open accompanied by cheese and chocolate. Of course with around two weeks until my tiny […]
Two Isomers products I love
October 30, 2011
A While ago a friend told me about Isomers, a Canadian cosmeceuticals line. She had been using some products and was very impressed, which impressed me because she can be a hard one to please when it comes to effective skin products.

Happy Tuesday beauties! First of all apologies for my tardy post; I usually post on Mondays and Thursdays but yesterday got the better of me and … excuses, excuses!

Monday Night Beauty Ritual
March 14, 2011
My husband flies regularly for work, most often departing early on Monday mornings. I have consequently developed a Monday night beauty ritual. My first night alone, and after my first working day of the week, necessitates a period of calm and unwinding; something to prise me gently away from the cocoon of the weekend. I […]
five reasons to love body oils
March 2, 2011
1. They are great for shaving: I have shave-sensitive legs and since using an oil to shave (and to moisturise afterwards) my shaving rash probability has decreased immensely. 2. They are sensual and a delight to use: they feel silky, they smell divine and they give the skin a subtly sexy gleam. 3. They are good […]

Christmas (beauty) recovery
December 30, 2010
Alas we have not even reached the New Year and already I find myself writing about beauty recovery.
