HOT MUMMAS | Happy Frappe

Through the summer months, and sometimes winter, I often fancy an iced coffee. How about you?As I'm now on a budget, a £3.00 frappe just won't suffice - £4.50 if you're at a service station (you thieving baristas!)I love the Starbucks ready prepared supermarket variety. The Seattle latte, the vanilla frappucino all come in at £1.60, I just don't like the price point. Equally, Jimmy's is great...

HOT MUMMAS | Garnier Ultimate Blends loves my hair (and my hair loves it)

As you may have read on a previous blog, a while back I decided to have my hair highlighted as I want to go back to blonde. But unfortunately and admittedly lazily, I haven't been back to the hairdresser since and I now have some serious roots. The problem with roots when you've had highlights is that they are generally much oilier than...

Lazy whenever it comes to anything to do with removing makeup (oh, and general housework).I've been a devotee to Simple face wipes since childhood (was once drunk and told a simple rep who sent us a lifetime supply!) yet my eyes speak otherwise.They look tired and dehydrated, and my once supple teenage skin is no longer that, my eyes are crying...
