Clariol Lasting Colour...Literally

It’s that however of month - the time when those pesky greys set out to appear. Sure, I can be a match for Andrea Corr’s raven locks on a favourable day but today required some artistry. Armed with my Clairol Long-term Colour touch up, I provided the smoke to my depict. Fifteen minutes later and less of a badger, I washed and dried my plaits to come downstairs and turn up my sister scrubbing the cookhouse cabinets. By some one-off accident, I managed to splay thecontinuous unit in indelible funereal. «Kitchen Power!» I kept screaming like a crazed undefiled freak. «Get Scullery Power!» My sibling, incognizant of the magical properties of said cleaning yield continued to scrub away the offendinghint until virtual scars were leftist on the laminate. My guilt how has not been so easy to assuage. I give the impression like I’ve graffitied all of her zealous work in our house. Since, I from taken an active engagement in wood polish and oil andown vowed to never...at all times...attempt a DIY beauty job again.

The Dreaded Ned

Ned - he’s stand behind. Innocuous by moniker; harm by nature, the pot has made my belly its cheerful home yet again. Granted, I character of led him on. That skiing plunge in Morzine was like 5-day foreplay: cheese and potato Tartiflette, goats cheese omelettes, fondu, sausages, crepes and lots of red wine. No be awed why he decided to stay. I’m hoping the itsy-bitsy interloper will realise there’s no fromage hither Chez I Blog. But there is a Slendertone that see fitshock 90 jolts of bare-abbed volts up his adipose pile. Be gone Ned! Be gone I say!

The Cellulite Challenge 2

It’s authentic. I’m a total convert to the Meditech impugn - and it’s only my second treatment. Today I had a mini-ultrasound sesh for my pins followed by a 40-in stylecellulite wrap. Peculiarity knowing the stats? Of process you do! I lost 14.5 cms in one day! That’s 8.7 cms off my formerly larboard thigh and 5.4 from my straight off - including top, mid and bottom measurements. If I coop up toning at thisgauge, I’ll have reached Klum-like nirvana. Bewail... The challenge continues.

The Cellulite Challenge

Abide Friday marked the end of my principal week on the Meditech dispute. After Wednesday’s trojan failure of 14.5 cms, I had little expections for besides loss. Surprisingly, I mislaid another 2 cms. What this all equates to is 1.5 inches off the widest in most cases of each thigh in one week and butter nonchalant skintone. To help along the deal with, I’ve cut down to one cup of coffee per day and acceptbeen drinking a requisite 2 litres of unworkable per day. I’m still very weary but that’s the toxins suppress taking their commit. I wish the pesky building guests would go straight away as I’m fairly knackered. Looking advance to Monday - my second masses wrap - and timely as I am attending the opera at CullodenTrading estate that evening. LBD here we upon!
