…what’s the best ways?  Can someone share?  I am stressed beyond belief at the moment – if it’s not one thing then its something else.  It makes me wonder, where do most of our problems come from?  Self made? Other people?  Environment? Society?

Will be a bit slow to chat on comments for a day or too – have a pile of things to send out and do.  But first – a cup of tea :)

Hey Row :o ) My old job was really, really stressful & the only way I could unwind enough to fall asleep was to do yoga just before I went to bed. The whole concentrating on your breathing thing coupled with the quiet music helped me so much x x

Hey Chica

Can you recommend a DVD for Yoga? I don’t really have time to go to classes – my head is always full of crap though. I’d be there doing a move and thinking “Teabags, we need teabags”

I can! :) AM & PM yoga, it’s really good & I’ve tried a LOT of yoga dvds lol – only because the only place near me that offers yoga classes offers them in a kind of monthly pass thing that costs £80 and that’s a bit too much just for yoga! Well..it is for me..even though I’ll happily spend more than that at the Chanel counter and not bat an eyelid – the brain is a strange thing!
Anyhoo back to the dvd – the AM programme is really good, the guy is called Rodney Yee and he’s awesome, really goes through how to do each move. PM is a lady called Patricia I think, I prefer Rodney to her but the routine is really relaxing and their backing track is soothing rather than annoying.
They’re both about 25 -30 minutes and honestly after doing the PM routine you’re practically asleep!
Hope it helps you de-stress hon!

Hey Chica

You serious. Ok…*goes to amazon* I am also thinking about doing something about my posture – it’s pretty bad and I think Yoga will help that.

If all else fails, I will have to do some serious haulin’ no?!

I am so stressed, I have £100 in Harvey Nichols gift tokens to spend and I just can’t make up my mind… shakes head and pouts…

Do they stock Shu hair products? The texturising spray… Maybe the La Mer Powder, any suggestions?

Who wants to hit Li and steal her giftcard?! *hands up*

I say the Shu hair stuff is amazing!!! as is the La Mer Powder. I love it in translucent!!! The stuff I got recently that I like a lot is the La mer Powder, Shu White Tea hair milk and the Elemis Quartz Lifting Mask – That would take you to just over £100 :) Now THATS stress :)

It’s not, and I didn’t even realise Chica had already suggested it! Talking of which have you seen the Kanebo line ‘Chicca’? It’s very pretty. I was reading about it on atouchofblusher.blogspot. Also have you tried the cle de peau soap? I keep seeing it and can’t imagine ever cleansing with soap after discovering YSL Milky Veil but I’m intrigued!

Hi Li

yes heard of Chicca but never tried it. I haven’t tried Cle De Peau soap but I’ve tried Nars Facial Soap (excellent) Jill Stuarts (meh) and Ettusais (not bad). I would always combine soap cleansing with a cream or oil though, on its own a soap can’t get all the make up and mascara off!
