    Are your customers confused?

    I go to a lot of soft play centres. A soft play centre is a place where children can play indoors. My son has a lot of energy so we go out a lot. Recently we went to a soft play I’d been looking forward to trying ever since we were buying our home 18 […]

    China Glaze update day 4

    China Glaze update day 4

    So I’ve been photographing my China Glaze nails to find out how long the polish lasts. Here is day 4: As you can see it’s almost identical to yesterday. Since taking yesterday’s picture I had to fight my double buggy to get it on the roof of my car as the boot (trunk) was full […]

    What is the hardest nail varnish? China Glaze days 1-3

    What is the hardest nail varnish? China Glaze days 1-3

    I am SO tired of my nail varnish cracking from perfectly normal day-to-day activities like taking my baby and toddler to soft play, landscaping my garden, or wrestling our double buggy into the back of our VW Golf.

    Misadventure: I’d rather swallow Donald Trump’s plum juice than eat there again.

    Picture this: Vietnam*. New Year’s Eve, 2018. The air was warm with a gentle breeze. Ho Chi Minh was buzzing, because even though they have a slightly different calendar, they have a massive tourist industry. We were staying in the Japanese quarter, at a lovely apart-hotel. The guy in the apartment next to ours was […]

    Misadventure: The can machine

    Misadventure: The can machine

    When I was at middle school… Actually, I need to start by explaining that a middle school is year 5 to year 8 in England, or age 9-13. Some areas still have them. The education system in Britain is fundamentally indefinable and since I went to 13 schools around the country, I sampled most variations. […]

    L’Oreal True Match vs L’Oreal Infallible 24 Hr

    In this review I’m going to compare L’Oreal True Match foundation and L’Oreal Infallible 24hr foundation. If you’re reading this, I imagine you’re doing what I did two days ago; standing in front of the L’Oreal counter trying to decide between two different products. When there are no testers in some countries still because of […]
