Belly Be Gone… #1 Box Yourself Fit!

By Leanne at April 30, 2010 | 1:28 pm | 0 Comment

As you know, I am on a quest to get rid of my belly. Obviously the knee jerk reaction is to go to the gym, so I dusted off my membership card, dug out my trainers from the back of the wardrobe and trotted on down to the gym with a big 2litre bottle of Evian. When I got there, I cycled a bit, did some weights and went for a swim, with only the teeniest bit of sweat

The English Gentleman: Where Art Thou?

By The Gent at April 30, 2010 | 11:14 am | 6 Comments

I like to consider myself a gentleman. An English Gentleman at that. I feel it's only right to hold the door open for a lady (and gent to be fair), offer to pay the bill, and offer your coat should your partner be cold. But it seems that chivalry is dead, and that less and less women believe that the English Gentleman still exsists. A whopping 89% infact, according to a

Victoria Beckham AW10

By Angharad at April 29, 2010 | 5:56 pm | 0 Comment

Lovers of Victoria Beckham’s personal style will be delighted with her latest collection, which features a new take on the sculpted silhouettes and over-sized sunglasses that the singer-turned-designer has become known for. In keeping with her previous designs embellishment has been kept relatively simple, with Victoria looking instead to cut, fabric and bright

Fight that Frizz!

By Leanne at April 29, 2010 | 12:36 pm | 2 Comments

For any of you that have never seen me, I have rather curly hair. I would like to describe it as beach-babe wavy, but truth be told, more often than not, it just resembles a bird's nest. I am someone who cannot shampoo her hair without adding a ton of conditioner afterwards. Each time I buy a new shampoo I have to buy two conditioners to last the same amount of time

Review: Macs Salon, Kilburn

By JJ at April 28, 2010 | 2:57 pm | 4 Comments

It has been a couple of years since I had a back massage purely for pleasure. I've had numerous Physio's poking and prodding at me, some deep tissue pummelling, but I had honestly forgotten how delightful it can be to have someone massage you for no other reason than to help you relax... I visited Macs Salon on Kilburn High Road last week after a fairly long tube

Books To Read This Summer

By Leanne at April 27, 2010 | 9:58 am | 0 Comment

Whenever the seasons change people start thinking of books to read on the beach, so I have decided to jump on the band wagon and read through my list of literature (which I am behind on anyway) to help you decide what might interest you. But since the introduction of our male blogger, @The_Gent, I figure that it has to be more than just 'Beach Reading', or 'Park Reading',

Belly Be Gone… Aloha Bikini Bod!

By Leanne at April 26, 2010 | 11:00 am | 8 Comments

I love the sunshine. At the first hint of the bright little ball in the sky I search for my flip flops and create a schedule for which pair of sunglasses to wear on which day. I often find myself skipping down the street and dodging wasps as I go.  However, this week as I was skipping an unsightly phenomenon occurred. My belly wobbled. All by itself. Now this is

There are so many great things to do in London that it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. As Londoners, we are so bombarded by choice that even if we did 101 things over the weekend we wouldn’t even have explored half of what there is out there.
