THE POWDER ROOM – A BRIEF HISTORY
In William’s guard chamber, King William III of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and in his mind, of France, (he was never the king of France but he spent his whole life fighting with King Louis for the Kingdom) in Hampton Court palace, stands a couple figures of his Yeomen standing on ceremony and on guard,…

NO MAKE UP, MAKE UP- VICTORIA BECKHAM
Anything, anything, Victoria Beckham touches is a good ‘un in my opinion. Fashion, make up, skin care, lip gloss the lot. She is a woman who knows a thing or several about skin care, she was the first person I heard talk about the benefits of a good moisturiser and slathering one self morning and…

SUMMER- LIP GLOSS SEASON
My favourite activity of make-up application is lip gloss application and no season like summer for a flirty glossy, slick swipe of flirt, that smells like bubble-gum and cherry blossoms and happiness. I know we collect gloss like its going out of style, like are you even real if you don’t have at last twenty…

WINTER ON BEAUTY
Simplicity is the key to a healthy beauty regime, gone are the days where we slather eight to ten products on our faces, it’s a time suck and unnecessary not to mention, overly sensitises the skin’s barrier eventually making it weaker.

FENTY BEAUTY FAT WATER: ONE AND DONE
It’s spring. We are on the cusp of that sweet spot when the seasons begin a smooth transition but before that we are caught in the wrath of mother nature’s confusion; she has no idea if she wants to be spring or summer which is the only reason we can explain snow in April. In…

Winter’s Hero | Bobbi Brown- Illuminating Moisture Balm
Winter is not our friends, no matter your skin type, the season is mean to skin, and spares no one so typically, this is when I up the ante of my skin care routine, especially at night time. Slather on the moisturisers, let your skin slip and slide in it before bedtime with oils, because…

Melanin Hair Care | Happily Ever After
I’m probably the reason why Whitney limited the buy on each products to 3 per item… in fact I am fairly confident its because of me. I live in the UK so you cannot blame me. Wash day is an event for me, a full time job if you are observing. The true relationship with…
