Anya came home from school today really excited – next week is her first school dance. It’s to raise money for school funds and she is so looking forward to it. Though it’s still a week away she has told me how she would like her hair done, we have discussed outfits and what sort of glitter gel she will wear. Oh my! What happened. Just a minute ago she was a baby in my arms!
Lipilicious!
I’ve just discovered Korres lip butter and I love it. It’s a lip balm with a tint, the one I have is in quince – a sort of pinky red. But the best thing about it isn’t the colour, it’s how soft it makes my lips feel. I don’t think I’ve ever tried a lip balm that makes them feel so soft and smooth. And it’s not greasy.
I know, I know, it’s probably not a new product and everybody else knows about it, but for me it’s my first great beauty discovery of 2010.

Riding out
He is definitely feeling better today. I rested him again yesterday but decided to ride out this afternoon and see how he coped – he was fine. We were going to go out alone but ended up going out with the new livery and her friend, John and I introducing them to the ‘short block’, which is about 35 minutes. Imagine, me showing somebody around on a hack!!!! That would have been unheard of just a few months ago.
Anyway, he was a star as always and we enjoyed a relaxing ride through the countryside. I’m so relieved his fall the other day didn’t cause any damage. He seemed to have a good time – he always does – he definitely prefers being out and about to being in the school.
Hands that do dishes…
One thing I can guarantee at this time of year, without fail, my hands will become really dry and look ancient, while the skin on my fingers will crack and split in places and become really sore. It sounds horrible and it is, and it’s something that has been happening to me every winter since I was a child.
Many years ago I underwent a series of allergy tests but the doctors at the hospital couldn’t find anything obvious I was allergic to so they came to the conclusion that my hands got into such a state because of washing up and water. The doctor who spoke to me apologised for being ‘sexist’ but said it was because of all the cleaning/ washing dishes/ housework/ washing clothes that women do.
Well these days I never hand wash – the machine does it, I have a dishwasher and as for cleaning, my other half would laugh if somebody said I do too much housework. Yet my hands are still a mess.
So I’m on a mission to find the best hand cream to help them. And I have tried loads let me tell you. So far my favourite is by Dermalogica, but I’m open to suggestions if anybody can recommend others?
