See previous: Part I – The Bikini Body NINE DAYS TO GO. I am so excited that every time I think about it in any depth I have to take care not to fall over and/or shit myself. Although I have be...
Image by Davey Coleman I’m not really the kind of person to follow celebrities. There are some famous people whose lives I’m interested in because I admire them as artists or actors, but overal...
Bargain hunters rejoice, for the next edition of Glamour magazine is this year’s Benefit make-up giveaway! This wonderful tradition began in 2009 when the magazine gave out full-size lip glosse...
Yesterday I burnt my three middle fingers picking up a heated oven tray with a particularly flimsy tea towel (note to self: very hot things do not necessarily look very hot). Don’t you hate get...
It has come to my attention that there are people out there who are genuinely concerned about the state of their minge. Like, actually. Not in a Daily Fail ’OMG MY VAGINA RUINED MY LIFE’ ...
This time in exactly one month I will be on holiday for two glorious weeks in the hot, Floridian sun. It may not be sophisticated or particularly grown-up, but the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is ...
Happy bank holiday weekend! I set today aside today as ‘domestic goddess day’, but Christ almighty is it boring. I have a new found respect for professional cleaners because I am only abo...
I don’t want to sound like a massive fanny, but I’ve been feeling very ‘drawn’ to the colour yellow recently. Admittedly not so much since the incessant downpour began a few w...
How do we all feel about control pants then? I can’t decide if they are an ingenious wardrobe supplement or a monstrous throwback to the days of hardcore corsetry. Of course, ‘shapewear...
Last week I saw The Avengers twice in a space of four days. Once on an IMAX screen. It’s that good. To be fair, I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to action movies in general and superhero movi...
Source unknown The Ann Summers store at home in Milton Keynes has recently relocated to new premises behind the Yoo Moo frozen yoghurt stand. Normally I don’t really clock store windows, but be...
Today after work I ran the 2.4 miles from Farringdon to Euston, got on the train and then went immediately to an aerobics class with my mother (who is cripplingly embarrassingly, incidentally. She, l...
Eyebrow pencilling is something that came quite late to me. Mine are naturally dark so it’s not something I ever felt would make all that much difference. This changed when I worked briefly on ...
Lent is over! I’m almost beside myself with glee, for with Easter came a release from my hastily-made promise to abstain from any new beauty products for a whole forty days. I’m actually ...
A couple of months back Stylist magazine (the free mid-week women’s lifestyle magazine in and around London) gave out teeny tiny free samples of L’Oreal Mythic Oil with every copy. I got ...
One day last week I woke up with an unfortunate case of EGBOF, or Extremely Gross Bout of Flaking (you can read all about it here). On one side of my nose. How I managed to miss one whole plane of my...
There are fewer things more infuriating than utterly ruining your favourite pair of shoes, through either one big messy night out (you know, the one where you end up in a fountain or going on a five ...
Happy Easter y’all! I completely forgot it was Easter Sunday yesterday so I had to rush off to the Tesco Express to buy some Mini Eggs to mark the occasion at the last minute, but really for me...
The last few years have given spectacular rise to TV programmes, magazine inches and other media space all discussing the seemingly inexhaustible topic of whether curvy girls are hotter/healthier/bet...
I’ve been meaning to take a photograph of this graffiti down the road from my office for awhile, but I only just remembered today. It’s a little diplodocus wearing a crown! I have no idea...
Full disclosure all: I bought a big hamper or Organic Surge products last year but also got sent some stuff by their PR agency awhile back. My memory sucks so I can’t remember if I actually pai...
This evening when I got off the train on the way home from work and IT WASN’T DARK. Considering that I have been starved of actual daylight, with UV rays, Vitamin D and all the rest of it, for ...
At the weekend I posted my 100th ever post on Incurably Curious (give it a read; I’m giving away a one-of-a-kind handmade necklace) and I’m still feeling pretty smug thrilled about it! Ye...
It’s my 100th post on Incurably Curious! To celebrate and thank all the lovely readers who return to my blog (and the new ones who are here by accident!) I’d like to give away a necklace ...
This is less of a Style Notes post and more of a guilt-ridden confessional of somebody who possesses a similar level of self-control as Lindsay Lohan in a jewellery store (ooh, topical!) Unfortunate...
Photography from Sasha Rainbow via Flux Magazine According to Twitter, today is ‘No Make-up Day’. Unlike Christmas and Valentine’s Day, however, it does not seem to be very well pub...
Right, I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m really into ironing at the moment. Stay with me, let me explain myself! BASICALLY, it occurred to me the other day that I really could have do...
I was supposed to be going to London Zoo today for somebody’s birthday but unfortunately I’m still not quite over my hideous bout of disease. Much as I wanted to go and see the bears, I t...
Lipgloss sucks. It makes food taste funny and sticks to glasses and also gets stuck in my hair. It is one of those highly irksome things – monster heels, lipstick and false eyelashes are others...
As I will tell anyone who will listen – and even those who won’t – I have super-dry skin pretty much everywhere. I dread to think how many precious hours I have spent anointing myse...
