These days, mainstream and celebrity scents are starting to see their sales dropping, likely due to a critical mass issue – so many boring similar perfumes and simply not enough time or, in my case, inclination. CLEAN perfumes have been a mainstay in the discount market for years now, while still managing to keep a few…
I am super lazy when it comes to my hair, and any shortcuts that mean I can put off the whole styling of wet hair thing are good with me. Like many wise humans, I have come to depend on dry shampoo to save me from the blow dryer. I had an interesting chat on…
One of my favourite luxury beauty brands is the French line, Leonor Greyl. The line was started by Mme Greyl and her husband in the late 60s and was the first hair care line to introduce vitamins into haircare. They created the first dandruff shampoo without coal tar.

Oh my, oh my, oh my. That’s my reaction every time I apply Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540. It’s one of those perfumes with top notes so magical and enchanting I have to keep smelling my wrist, because each time I do I smell something different.

I recently had the opportunity to experience a new natural skincare line called Bella Aura. This Canadian line is the ultimate in luxury niche beauty, using the “finest natural ingredients in the world”. Bella Aura was created by Yasmine Jones, who is as lovely as her products. During a very stressful time in her life, Yasmine’s…
Sexy perfumes are wonderful all year round, but of course on Valentine’s Day, sexy everything is called for. I’ve gone off the beaten perfume path to find some exquisite and sexy niche perfumes for you. The divine Josie at Osswald in New York City sent me some delicious perfume that she knew I would love….
A good friend of mine used the word “gypset” to describe the gorgeous ethereal and pretty gypsy trend that is everywhere. The beautiful, magical, boho beauties that is everywhere, especially on social media and blogs.
