Stretch-mark solutions: Tried and tested
Just last week I was catching up with our yummy expectant mummy over tea and cakes. Whilst tucking into a large slab of rhubarb tart with ice cream, she shared with me her concerns about gaining weight and the dread of being left with inch-deep purple lines like a zebra crossing over her ever-expanding waistline.

Table-Top Treats
If there is ever an opportunity to push the boat out with your table decorations, it’s Christmas. I’m reluctant to say you can never go too far (I mean, you need to leave room to set your spuds down), but this is certainly an occasion where you can channel your inner Kirsty Allsopp and get Read the Rest »
Don’t get the thin end of the wedge
I’m not going to lie, it took me a while to come round to the wedge. Convinced it was a passing trend, I stood back and averted my eyes for a good couple of seasons, glancing heavenwards at those ‘sucked in’ by yet another fad. However, contrary to my ill informed assumption, evidence suggests the Read the Rest »
A little box of treasures.
I read in a newspaper the other day that this year six out of ten of the ‘must-have’ Christmas presents are electronic gadgets. In fact I was chit-chatting with a girl at the hairdresser last week who said that what her ten year old son really wanted this year was an ipad. I couldn’t believe Read the Rest »
Not all that glitters is gold. But it is pretty ace.
No doubt about it, it now really is the Christmas party season. With it comes the inevitable: a few too many drinks at the annual free bar at your work do if you’re lucky (if not, an annual drowning of sorrows due to lack of such provision from your workplace), a self-inflicted and wholly unnecessary Read the Rest »
LOL Natural Skin Care – no joke.
Once again my love of craft and vintage fairs has brought me to another wonderfully creative and all round LOVELY person. I met Lynne O’Neill about a month ago at the Gin in Teacups event at Chambre 69 (the BEST people go there) and so began my love affair with her products. A Read the Rest »
A shop of interest, to say the least
The Shop of Interest on Argyle St (towards the west end end) is indeed a shop filled with much interest. Opened just over year ago by May and Martin, they wanted to bridge the gap between shop and art gallery and essentially fill a space with things they love. Fine by me. The home of many a Read the Rest »
A One Way Ticket to LA LA LAND
I heart La La Land. Found in the lower half of De Courcey’s Arcade in Glasgow’s west end and online at www.livinginlalaland.co.uk, founder and legend Sarah Graham is on to an absolute winner. Sarah was a girl with her hair set firmly in the clouds as a youngster (hence the apt name of her empire) Read the Rest »
Country living in the city
To say that the last four days have been absolutely jam-packed with arts and crafts, homewares, lovely folk and MORE importantly FREE SAMPLES would be absolutely true because on Thursday the Country Living Christmas Fair descended on Glasgow. If you’ve never been to one of these fairs before you should know that they can be Read the Rest »
