Today’s post is all about my hands… or at least things that are going to adorn that area. In the last week I have been very fortunate to receive some gifts that will allow me to make my hands pretty. My friend Violet Le Beaux most graciously made me a set of custom false nails. She is [...] . . . → Read More: From the Wrist Down

I have done it!! I have kicked the shampoo habit! Your first thought might be that I’ve given up washing my hair, but you’d be incorrect. I just said that I’ve given up shampoo. For all intents and purposes, shampoo is nought but detergent for hair. There may be a few exceptions, but I’ll get to [...] . . . → Read More: Lovely Locks or Tantalising Tresses The pants aren’t finished. They’re not far off, but life likes to get in the way. My poor 3yo has had a mild chest infection, so all efforts have been made to try to keep him still(ish), and quiet(ish). So I’ve been in “cuddling/nursing” gear all week. Not glamourous at ALL, and in fact, I’ve [...] . . . → Read More: Taking Another Step. Through another blog on my RSS reader, I found a vintage blogger who, like me, is a bit fuller than others. She reached 100 followers recently (and I’m sure more since she posted), and decided to do a giveaway! It’s open world wide and is just TOO CUTE!! Go check her out! . . . → Read More: Give away on Va-Voom Vintage! I picked up a sample of this a little while ago, and I’m finally getting around to using it (Bad Tia!). It goes on very smoothly, and takes little ‘rubbing’ in for it to spread well, and doesn’t go white and streaky. Once on, it doesn’t have a greasy feel, like a lot of sunscreens have. [...] . . . → Read More: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen – First Impression Just a little catch up. I have successfully worn makeup at least 5 days out of 7 for the past month. I like to give my skin a breathe, or if I plan on getting sweaty or dirty, I don’t bother, but will face up once I’ve showered afterwards. I’m enjoying my CoverGirl foundation, [...] . . . → Read More: Just a Bit of Everything I love OPI colours! I really do! Vibrant and something for every mood. But today? I’m just not feeling the love. I wanted something strong, but neutral. So I pulled out the Chocolate Moose. I HATE the sheerness of it. Four coats to get decent coverage!! ACK. While there are some polishes [...] . . . → Read More: I’m Just Not Feeling the Love Today One thing that I haven’t blogged about so far on my journey is about clothes and the like. Mainly because I haven’t started re-populating it yet. Why? Because it can be an expensive exercise, or at the very least, a time consuming one. I’m not a fashion blogger, I’m certainly in no position to be. I’m [...] . . . → Read More: It’s not Prudent to Change Everything Right NOW. Back in the 30’s women wore their nailpolish differently. Called a ‘half-moon manicure’, it was supposed to show your good health to those who took notice of your hands. But these days it’s just another cool nail look. Glamazon Burlesque queen Dita Von Teese is often seen sporting the look. It really isn’t a “new’ [...] . . . → Read More: Faux-Dita Manicure Last week I bought myself some new makeup for my ‘every day’ makeup. Priceline was having a 3 for 2 sale, so I picked me up some lovely Covergirl products. First was some base. I didn’t want uber heavy daytime makeup, and thought that the name of the foundation was exactly what I wanted it to [...] . . . → Read More: Product Review – Cover Girl |
