Things I’ve Loved & Things I’ve Hated RecentlyBeautyRants and Raves by Mrs C - November 12, 2013Over the past few months there have been quite a few things I've loved and hated but have forgotten to tell you about. So I thought I'd write about a few of them alltogether in one blog!Recently, for example, my YSL Touche Eclat ran out and I just couldn't face a trek into town to get a new one. I'm forever hearing about alternatives which
Kia Picanto – His and HersRants and Raves by Mr C - October 23, 2013December 3, 2015 This is an interesting one... a two-pronged fork, so-to-speak, about spending a week with the little Kia Picanto City. I'll start with Mrs C's view and then you can see what I thought about it all.Mrs C says..."Argghhhhh .... I've just been asked what I thought of the Kia Picanto which Mr. C and I had to trial a few weekends ago. I hasten to add
Was A Mars Bar Really Only 2p In 1973?Rants and Raves by Mrs C - August 18, 2013Was a Mars Bar really only 2p in 1973? And petrol - was that only 7p a litre?Some things do seem to have gone up disproportionately it's got to be said!House prices being one of those things. It was kind of assumed in the Eighties that you'd leave Uni and buy a house after your first year of work. Now it's so difficult for
Recent Likes and DislikesBeautyRants and Raves by Mrs C - May 21, 2013Just a few things I've liked and disliked over the past couple of months. I've Loved......Broadchurch and The Politician's Husband - both of which happened to feature David Tennant. Now I wasn't a fan of the old Dr. Who before but was massively impressed by his acting in both the series. Aldi Carino Provive Hairspray - This Aldi hairspray is the only one I have ever found to rival
Steve’s Leaves & MeerkatsRants and Raves by Mrs C - December 20, 2012 I bought a bag of Steve's Leaves in Sainsburys the other day - Pea Shoots & Baby Leaves as it happens. When I got back home I googled him and became seriously intrigued by Steve's Leaves site and blog. I had no idea there was so much to know about watercress. I quote from his site..."Steve began his PhD in the nutritional physiology of watercress
My Fave Products At The MomentBeautyRants and Raves by Mrs C - October 10, 2012There are so many lovely body lotions out there right now that it's really difficult to pick a favourite. But the SPAtopia Argan Oil Body Butter is so rich and creamy that it has to be one of the best on the market. It sinks in quite quickly which I like because it's a right pain when you apply body lotion after a shower only to
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth CleanserBeautyRants and Raves by Mrs C - August 24, 2012I'd heard loads about the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser and couldn't wait to try it out. I started using the new 'regime' on a Thursday and by the Saturday 2 of my 3 daughters were using it too. (Daughter Number 3 would never use something I recommended on principle :)). I honestly don't think I could rave enough about this fantastic product!
I Love……BeautyBooksRants and Raves by Mrs C - August 16, 2012April 26, 2013Right now I'm loving so many things but the weather's definitely not one of them!Australian Bush Flower Essences Replenishing Night Cream might be a right old mouthful to say but it's worth saying it and it's well worth buying it. It packs a powerful punch of moisture into your skin overnight but it doesn't make your skin feel all greasy and congested. It's my new
Alfa Romeo GiuliettaCardiff and WalesRants and Raves by Mrs C - June 28, 2012September 4, 2017I think we've kind of decided which car to buy. It's not a yellow one, as anyone who knows me might have thought, but hey when it's a joint car there's got to be some compromise involved. So here's the big question....Red or Black?And in case you're not into cars, it's an Alfa Romeo Giulietta. To be honest I'd never heard of them even till
Tula BagsRants and RavesShopping and About Town by Mrs C - April 27, 2012I'm not usually a Bag Lady (so to speak) but I saw a really cute bag in John Lewis today and I suddenly 'got' the whole women & their handbags thing.My own collection of bags seems paltry compared to all the other women I know but that might well change.To be honest I'd never heard of Tula Bags until today although I am familiar with their big
