Evolve Gentle Cleansing MeltBeauty by Mrs C - November 15, 2011I've been trying Evolve Gentle Cleansing Melt over the past week or so and it's one of those products that in theory should suit me down to the ground.I've developed quite sensitive skin over the past few years so I'm constantly changing my skincare regime looking for the perfect products. Evolve Cleansing Melt should have been a No-Brainer then but I couldn't have been more
A’kin Rosehip & Shea Intensive Face CreamBeauty by Mrs C - November 8, 2011November 8, 2011By now you must all know how much I love A'kin products. I am a massive fan of their moisturisers and unsurprisingly their Rosehip & Shea Intensive Face Cream didn't let the side down.It's definitely a nighttime product (well for me anyway!) as it's quite rich and creamy. It doesn't go on greasy like lots of other night-time moisturisers though and it doesn't take ages

Oops I’ve Broken a Rib!Beauty by Mrs C - October 31, 2011November 4, 2012Had a disaster of a day yesterday. Decided to do a Gok and 'rationalise' my wardrobe.You know the sort of thing. Open doors, stare for a while, try to decide what to chuck in the charity bag, start throwing things on the floor, one pile for charity, one for 'maybe keep', try things on which haven't seen the light of day since you were a
Note to Self: Check Smoke Alarms!Things For The House by Mrs C - October 25, 2011November 25, 2011Just a quickie to remind you all not to forget to put your clocks back this weekend.Yup - we get an extra hour in bed this Saturday night! Don't you just love it when that happens? Anyway on a serious note, the bods at Fire Kills want us all to get into the habit of checking our smoke alarms regularly and so they thought
Would You Dye Your Dog?Rants and Raves by Mrs C - October 12, 2011November 4, 2012They say a picture paints a 1000 words so here's one of a dyed dog.Yup - this is a golden retriever dyed to look like a tiger! It's a new craze in China apparently. Let's hope this isn't a craze that takes off here.Hopefully shops selling dog pushchairs won't become common on the High Streets either!
Who is Tom Everhart?Rants and RavesThings For The House by Mrs C - October 11, 2011Mr. C and I were in Vegas when we happened upon an exhibition of some brilliant, fun paintings and posters by Tom Everhart. Coincidentally we were in the market for some new pics for our living room wall and so we ended up buying a couple. The one at the top of this post adorns our living-room wall and the other was bought and framed
Comvita Nourishing Hand & Nail CreamBeautyShopping and About Town by Mrs C - October 10, 2011October 11, 2011Hand Cream is a difficult one to get right isn't it? So many of them are too heavy, too sticky or too thick. A few years ago Santa put some Handy Gurugu from Lush in my Christmas Stocking. Boy does that take a long time to rub in and it stinks too - a kind of herbal 'old-lady' soap kind of smell. Some ladies out
The Midwife’s Confession by Diane ChamberlainBooks by Mrs C - October 7, 2011I love a good read and boy did The Midwife's Confession deliver that! The book is one of those books that keep you guessing right till the end. You kind of think you've worked it out quite earlyish but there are a fair few twists and turns before the final denouement. It really is a cracking book! I can't say too much without giving the
The Lincoln Lawyer – Great Courtroom DramaMovies and TVRants and Raves by Mrs C - October 3, 2011The Lincoln Lawyer is a kind of predictable courtroom drama but nonetheless is a really good film. It certainly kept me gripped from start to finish anyway.Matthew McConaughey is the not unattractive star of this legal thriller and plays a low-budget defence lawyer who practises from the back of his car - a Lincoln! (It's got to be said that although I sort of guessed
