My Sentimental Heart

Phew! Now that the heatwave seems to be on hold, I'm starting to feel a bit less fuzzy! Looking ahead, it doesn't look like the respite is going to last for all that long, but for the time being at least I'm making the most of things being at a normal temperature again to regather a se…

As I touched on in my last post, navigating what to wear in this prolonged heatwave can be something of a minefield, particularly if you’re trying to balance keeping cool with work appropriate attire. As well as rummaging through my wardrobe (and in the process finding things I’ve not worn in five…

Because I’m usually in so much of a rush first thing in the morning, it’s a rare occasion indeed which sees me divert from my usual routine as far as day to day makeup is concerned. I’ll usually plump for products which are easy to apply and fairly long lasting, especially with the weather still o…

Phew! What a warm couple of weeks we've had! Don't get me wrong, it's lovely to see the sunshine after such a long winter, but any hot spell which lasts longer than a week invariably means that this country grinds to a more or less total standstill- especially as far as public transpor…

Phew! June- done! And time for a six month retrospective on how the year is ticking along so far- things are moving quickly but I’m really happy to have had a big weight lifted off of my mind by getting to the bottom of a personal medical mystery recently, firmly sticking to the resolution which I…

With the soaring temperatures showing no signs of abating just yet, I'm following some simple rules to make weathering the weather as hassle-free as possible. Whilst the need to keep hydrated is obvious, it's not always the easiest thing to follow through on, so I've been filling a lit…
