My Favourite Utilitarian Body Products
You know how they say that women are full of mystery? It is true. I definitely am – because how would one rationally explain the fact that I’m fanatical about my facial skincare but cannot be bothered to put anything on my body?
It might be simply becaus..
10 Young Adult Books I Keep Seeing Around (Vol 1)
If you’re not quite sure what “young adult” means when it comes to books, it’s the category that covers the Twilights, Hunger Games and Divergents of this world. They usually have protagonists who are in their late teens, often involve first love and coming ..
Red Shoes and Failing at Life
I’m behind with everything – with life and work, with blogging, with reading, with sleep, even with reacting to people’s comments, for which I sincerely apologise. The universe seems to be against me as well, with the trains not showing up, planes missed and..

Black Garlic & Violet Sugar: 9 Things for More Exciting Food
I’ve been wanting to post this list for days, but work, a persistent head cold, the absence of light and general too-much-to-do-ness have conspired against me. I’m sorry for being behind my posting schedule, even if you don’t mind – it’s very annoying when l..
The Face of a Blogger: 9 Cult Skincare Products
My love of lists is well documented and there are very few genres I like better than lists of cult beauty products (the other contenders being Best Books of All Time and Perfect Wardrobe Staples). If you are a beauty junky, however, cult product lists often ..
Winter Whites To Wear Now*
