Mr C has done a good job of keeping me fed lately since I’ve had weird food cravings, and last night he picked up some Philadelphia Cadbury’s Chocolate Spread for me. In my head this totally works. Philadelphia is a neutral enough cheese to have with savoury or sweet topping so why shouldn’t chocolate work […]
Little of bag of horrors: The Make Up Bag of Horrible Beauty Stuff
My friend, fellow blogger Charlotte at Lipglossiping sent me a parcel for my birthday last year…amazingly I didn’t immediately realise it was from her, I thought it was a PR who was clearing her cupboards out and had sent all the dregs she had left over gathering dust. After I got over my HORROR, I […]
The Queen applies lipstick!
This is totally random, but I couldn’t help but be tickled by this photograph of HRH The Queen applying lipstick at the Highland Games in Scotland. I really like The Queen, she is my favourite Royal – and clearly she is a fan of bright pink lipstick and can apply without looking in a mirror! […]
Wordless Wednesday: Yellow Chocolates
Thanks Emma. Chocolates from here. Crap. Does that make it non-wordless? I guess I’m no good at being wordless. 🙂

It’s been a long, long time since I did a TV post but here it is! Â I can’t believe The Apprentice 2011 is over already – it’s been so much fun! At the time of writing, the finalists are: I’ve-run-a-business Susan, Jedi Jim, Rodent Tom and Helen (no nickname, because Helen is pretty much perfect). […]
Friday Chit Chat: How does your man deal with the make up in your life?
“Her eye make up is terrible…it clashes with her blusher.” …..said Mr C at the TV, the other day. That’s right. How does a man with no interest in beauty and has never bought anything other than some basic moisturiser and a bar of soap suddenly become so judgemental about blue eyeshadow and orange blusher? […]
20 Things I learned from William and Kate: The Movie
I, for one, am really looking forward to the Royal Wedding – after all, it’s not going to happen very often in my lifetime and I can’t wait to see what The Queen will be wearing (I love the Queen). In the UK, you can’t get away from Royal Wedding stuff, it is there every […]
Beauty Memories: Extreme Nose Contouring, Remember This?
Last week, me and Mr Candy decided to make some tapes (VHS for you spring chickens) for Candy Grandad, who hasn’t quite entered the DVD generation. As a result we ended up going through our own childhood tape collections, and I found an old recording of a Chinese Variety show by TVB (the biggest TV […]

Visee Glam Hunter – Shades of Beige on a Saturday
A little package arrived for me from Adambeauty today – in 2 days! How amazing is that? Even though there is a typhoon in Hong Kong my make up still arrives perfectly in time and in perfect condition! Part of my order was some of the lip products from the Visee Autumn collection. A lot […]
Best swimwear for the summer
Green is the colour, isn’t it? Especially lime, a bright, neon looks perfect with tans for the summer. Man, woman, not children. I think I have found the perfect multi use swimwear here. And only £5!
Olympics Opening Ceremony
Did cha see it? Did you love it? It was on at a totally impractical hour, when I was at work…boo hoo! Anyway, boyfy has downloaded the opening with TVB (Hong Kong’s tv channel) which is a million times better than the BBC coverage. Damn you BBC! And I’m forced to pay £136 a year?! […]
Keira Knightley Jumps Ship
Apparently Keira Knightley no longer keeps in touch with Sienna Miller. I thought those two douches loved each other after making that terrible film, The Edge of Love. Is Keira being genuine or is she disassociating herself after Sienna’s recent dabblings? What do you do when a friend is behaving like a psycho or a […]
