You know what’s really glamorous? Not having a rash. I discovered this recently when my teenage daughter, eyes swollen like a Victorian heroine with consumption, reacted brilliantly (read: horrifyingly) to yet another artisanal eye makeup remover.

48 and fab….or?
Well, here we are. The big 5-0 is knocking on the door, and let me tell you, it isn’t exactly bringing a bouquet of roses. More like a bucket of lukewarm water, splashed right in the face at 3 am. Yes, I am losing my youth, and no, I can’t shove everything into the “I’ll …

Alright, let’s be real here. Have you ever been seduced by music? Not in a romantic way, but just completely enraptured by it? Like you’re in a trance and the notes are swirling around you like a warm embrace? If not, do yourself a favour and put on some headphones, close your eyes and let …

I decided to quit Facebook and Sweet Jesus what a fantastic decision. Best one in a looong time. No more scrolling, looking into people’s fake lives like …
Man-Cold, x-mas shopping and lipstick

I transform from a pretty getting-shit-done-kinda-girl to a whining, self-pitying, sniffling shadow of a woman. Yes Mam I do. No use trying to deny it. I’m beyond words sure that husband would willingly …
