A Girl’s Best Friend-Part III

Bespoke Jewellery that you  don’t have to remortgage for…

If you’re a fan of 18ct or 22ct gold jewellery then you keep readingI’ve loved 18ct and 22ct gold ever since an old friend of mine from Singapore introduced me to it in my late teens. 22ct Gold is almost pure Gold and it is far better value for money than 9ct (that’s my opinion).

Anyway a Gold Smith in Southall called Bobby  can make any piece of jewellery you’ve designed for very reasonable price.

So if you have  a little creative flare  for jewelery design then contact Bobby from Gold Factory.

The Spot Terminator

by JJ on August 11, 2009

Vita-Kombi 3 from the Karin Herzog range is your spots worst nightmare.

I always have this product at hand in case of a breakout.  Have a read about the range and try it for yourself, visit the Karin Herzog website.

I have recently started to use an Organic Skincare range called Suki.

At the moment the Exfoliating  Foaming Cleanser is my favourite product from the Skincare range.

The cleanser is made from natural sugar and lemongrass and it smells absolutely lovely. I accidently tasted a bit and it tasted lovely too (wouldn’t recommend doing that on a regular basis). After using the exfoliating cleanser  my face is always left feeling very soft and clean. I love this products even more because I can use it around my eyes and it does not cause dryness like most other cleansers (including eye makeup removers) I’ve tried.

The only downside of this range is the price. The products are a bit pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for, because all the ingredients used are organic and of a very high quality.

Is There a Shoe Heaven? lol

August 3, 2009

I humourously asked is there a shoe heaven, because have you ever owed a pair of  shoes that you loved so much, that you wore them to death?
I’m guilty of that right now.  I bought a pair of what I think are the most gorgeous sandals made. What makes them even more special is that [...]

I’ve found it!!- A nail polish range that’s free from Formaldehyde, Toluene,  Dibutyl Phthalate and Camphor, and it’s actually quite good! I mean really good.
I’ve tried a few ranges and none of them stayed on my nails as long as this range.
I know you’re all saying, ‘well tell us the name then!’
Should I or shouln’t [...]
