HOT MUMMAS | Banish that blemish

As you may have guessed, I love to try out new beauty products, however I do have a few loyal items that I couldn't be without. One of which is very crucial to me now that winter is fast approaching and my skin is no longer protected by the sun's spot clearing magic :( Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Bar for Face and Body. I've...

COOL BUBBAS | Lovely bums

It's hard to know what products to use on the sensitive skin of your newborn, or in fact any age baby; many of our favourite lotions and potions contain ingredients that we can't even pronounce, let alone know what they are.  So hurrah for the new JOHNSON’S® Baby FIRST TOUCHâ„¢range: wipes, moisturising lotion, oil, all-in-one wash, shampoo and barrier cream. All are specifically formulated to...

HOT MUMMAS | K West Hotel & Spa

Nestled in bustling Kensington, West London, and a stones throw from Shepherds Bush station, (although according to my incompetent iPhone – up, down and round and round in circles). The K Spa and Hotel is the perfect retreat for those wishing to remove themselves from the hustle and bustle of daily life - even if for just a few hours. After my excruciating...

HOT MUMMAS | Feeling hot, hot, hot

I love using my ghd's but I do worry about the damage that I'm causing to my hair; of course I use all kinds of heat protecting sprays, shampoos and strengthening conditioners but the real damage is obviously done from applying burning hot plates at over 200 degrees to my (already brittle, coloured and dry) locks. That's where the Braun Sensocare ST780 Straightener is...

After all, he's probably got my peachy/pink (red) complexion, right?I discovered Child's Farm in Boots, initially as we have a large array of products...

HOT MUMMAS | Chocolate fix for mummies, not baby

It's allegedly chocolate month.In my book, that's month of the excuse to stuff your face rotten with the sweet nectar that makes most mothers deliriously happy.It's the natural feel-good drug that helps us through those bad times (aside from wine).But instead of indulging in all those extra calories, how about a choco fix... for the bath! Now, any mothers who used purée food may...

HOT MUMMAS | Ditch the itch

I have enough hair styling issues to worry about without the added problem of dandruff, especially as winter is upon us and I'll be wearing a lot of black. I wouldn't say I have a serious dandruff problem, but I do get the odd itchy scalp day and I'd rather nip it in the bud. 'Philip Kingsley flaky/itchy scalp shampoo' has been going...
