I’m a great fan of Nora Ephron (such a brilliant writer) and especially her book, ‘I Feel Bad About My Neck and other thoughts on being a woman’. I’ve just got it off the shelf and flicked through it. For me, two of her pieces stand out: there’s the one about
I see I posted about hats twice in November, but didn’t acknowledge the subject so here in December is the post that says definitely this is about hats! And a bit more – see below! Yes, I’ve posted about hats 34 times. I have many hats. It was 27 at
This is a post for those of you who are concerned about that loss of pigment and the consequential pallor that you get as you age. Btw, no pics of me this week as I’ve just had a tooth extracted leaving one side of my face with a cheek that’s

For Christmas I got Nora Ephron’s latest book, a collection of her journalism. I so love Nora Ephron’s writing style and her take on life and, in particular, I love her piece on ‘8 hours and counting’, as seriously I take ages in the bathroom putting on the makeup and
I do love makeup. I come from the generation that put that extra line above the eye-socket. You’d think that was rather reminiscent of a clown, wouldn’t you, but then it was the absolute thing. Before that, just as I got into my teens, there was Bridget Bardot with her
