I'm fascinated by the process of transforming oneself from a plain jane to a gorgeous siren.
There is a school of thought that says an intelligent woman should be above such superficial things as appearance and looking good. To a certain extent this is true because intellect will always trump looks but I can't see any reason why you can't be fiercely intelligent and look fierce at the same time. Seriously, if all you were interested in was deep intellectual thinking and nothing else, you'd be kind of boring.
You don't believe me?
Let me present to you the case of Hedy Lamarr.
She was a movie star in the forties, famed for her beauty. But she was also a mathematical genius and inventor. Along with George Antheil she invented a technique for spread spectrum communications and frequency hopping. No, I don't really understand it either but apparently it served as the basis for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communications. See? Being beautiful didn't undermine her intelligence. Her looks combined with her brain made her so much more fascinating than someone who was either just beautiful or just brainy.
There's something enormously tender about pampering yourself. I have a rather long before-bed routine which involves showering, cleansing my face and applying a lot of lotions & potions. It drives my boyfriend to distraction but I need it. After a long, hard day it's a way of relaxing and taking care of myself. (Also, if I don't clean my face properly every day, I end up looking like a raison - all withered!)
Which leads me on to my blog... Reading back on my old posts, I realise that I've been doing a lot of beauty and cosmetic reviews. I enjoy writing them because I'm constantly trying out new products & I like sharing my findings and people seem to want to read them because these posts constantly get the most hits.
So here's what I'm going to do. Once a week, work permitting I'm going to write a cosmetics review. I'll try and make it every Thursday so that if people do want to buy anything I've blogged about, they'll be able to get it in time for the weekend. As I said though, this will depend on work. I freelance so I can't guarantee I'll be free every week.
I'll start next Thursday. I do hope you'll join me. x

cosmetics are fun. i am trying to downsize. it helps that i can't do fragrancy things. that rules out so much but i still love a shiny new bottle.
