Wash your damn hands
Today I was in the gym, changing room and I saw a guy washing his hands. He was taking a long time over it. In fact, he was there long enough to have sung God Save The Queen at least twice. But the reason he was at the sink for so long is not because…

Dirty haircare from Lush
I have searched long and hard for the ideal hair product. Because I am, at heart, pretty lazy, I don’t want to have a series of hair products. I want something which gives me enough hold for professional events, but which allows me to run my hands through my hair and mess it up –…
