Back to school :)

Hi Ladies

Today I wanted to give a massive shout out to all the women out there who will have a few minutes to themselves this coming week :) The summer holidays are over & life can get back to normal again! To all those women who are great Mothers, who have played & entertained, found extra money for extra activities, thought up indoor activities for our rainy British August & still kept the house & family going.....Congratulations!......And now you need a break! So, we've come up with some suggestions for 'you' time :)

There's nothing quite as relaxing as having a pedicure, its so lovely to look down at pretty toes in these last few weeks of flip flop wearing. Our 'Seasonal' recommendation for a lovely environment for a pedicure would be with Sheona at Beauty Within in Cuckfield, she's just a fabulous lady & so nice to chat with as your feet get beautiful. They have so many amazing treatments at Beauty Within, between us we've had manicures, pedicures, eyebrow shaping, eyelash tinting, fake tanning & massages. I always float out of their gorgeous building feeling on top of the world, its almost magic :) Have a look at their website www.beautywithinclinic.com & pick a treatment :) Go on treat yourself!

Another lovely way to spend a couple of hours is with Helen (pictured with Clayer) at Style Step. I've come to think of Helen as our very own Gok or Trinny & Susannah (without having to be naked in front of enormous mirrors on national tv!). She has a far more gentle approach to advising us what we ought to be wearing to make the most of whatever body we have. She has beautiful pashminas in every colour you can imagine to help us understand what colours work best with our skin tones & she also is very clever with make up. A perfect, girly treat, she also has vouchers so you can gift a girlfriend. Why not share the love? Have a look at Helen's website www.stylestep.co.uk , I know you'll be inspired.

My absolutely favourite way to relax when I'm short on time is with a fashion magazine (Harpers Bazaar is my fave) & a cup of tea....aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh lovely. There's also something lovely about just being by yourself for things like grocery shopping & catching up on the ironing. Even normal chores can be made nicer with your favourite music or a recorded tv show & pot of posh coffee..... And how lovely to be in the car by yourself so you can blast your own music rather than songs sung by cartoon characters????? I know you love that Ladies!

Me & Supersis enjoy 'Orange Wednesdays' at the movies, we talk about our day on the journey down & talk about the movie all the way home, lovely girly time.

Really, our 'Seasonal' mission for this new term is to find little ways to make everyday more fabulous. We'd so love to hear your suggestions so we can pass them on ~ lets all feel more fabulous everyday!

Tonight is movie night & I've rented Paranormal Activity :-o Me & Supersis went to the movies to see it & we spent the whole time behind our pashminas trying to hide from what might just happen! I actually screamed out loud at the end! So now the rerun at home with H, I'm sure he'll love it because he's a fan of Blair Witch. A spooky night for us, I LOVE it :)

Well, bye for now ladies, I'm wishing you all a little bit of 'you' time everyday this new term time :)

More soon

Oh, I couldn't go without being so very excited by Paulina's ice cream extravaganza ~ letting all the kids decorate their own ice cream with all sorts of fabulous toppings ~ all round to Paulina's????? No, that's just me! It's nearly margarita time...See you soon Paulina :)
