The Natural Way to Better Sex

I really do feel for our gorgeous men – they have to listen to those undignified ‘impotence’ and ‘nasal delivery’ radio ads; and of course none of us are safe from the demoralising billboards that bellow at us in big bold letters as we drive our cars along any major thoroughfare – that the answer to any of our self-esteem problems, is to make sex [...]

How to ‘Make Time’ for Yourself

Can you believe the rate at which 2009 is flying by? At the outset of this year our youngest two started school – I naively believed that I would have all the time in the world to myself.  As it happens the exact opposite has occurred – just until the last week or so it [...]

How to read the label of your Skincare Products

When I want information about skincare ingredients - one of the first places I go to get informed is the Environmental Working Group (EWG) website.

Next I headed [...]

How to get your Man to Behave like a Gentleman

Does your guy need some help to become more ‘manly’? Firstly, let me clarify, I’m not talking about football-and-beer-with-the-boys type manliness. What I’m referring to is manliness in the being-a-mature-adult-and-behaving-like-a-gentleman kind of way. Here’s some examples. Does he know how to cook a roast? Would it occur to him to offer you his jacket as the temperature drops? [...]

Treat ‘em Mean…Keep ‘em Keen

Treat ‘em Mean…Keep ‘em Keen

When I tell people I grow Orchids, they usually give me a bit of a weird look. As my dear friend Nell would say, it’s my ‘nerd sport.’ Orchids are likely to be considered the domain of retired Bank Managers and other such types who have the time and inclination to put the effort that’s [...]
