Why Outsourcing your Problem Solving can be the best way Forward

I’m sharing this very personal little story with you because I was surprised at how many of my girlfriends have experienced something similar and never shared their experience – with me or anyone else. We all have our secrets but there are some secrets that when shared, become a source of joy and acceptance rather than [...]

Could Meditation be better than Sleep?

When all else fails…Meditate by Megan Faulkner I’m sure we have all had those nights before an important event, lying awake sleepless, thinking of things to do, to then check off in the morning.  During one such evening recently, where reading provided no respite, I came back to the basic principles of meditation I had [...]

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 [...]

What I learnt from Joe Strummer

Thankfully my formative years were spent listening to The Clash, and not Britney Spears. If that had been the case, I’m pretty sure my life would have turned out to be very different, and it’s probably safe to say - my company Gorgeous Things would not exist.

All-time Top 5 Break-ups – in Chronological Order

Some of the best books get made into films, which is great because it means many of our favourite characters have been brought to life on the big screen  – although sometimes with mixed results.

Diggin’ the Dancing Queen

“See that girl, watch that scene” – now that I’ve implanted Abba in your head, tell me, when was the last time you went dancing? Even it was the Nutbush at your cousin’s wedding last Spring, or your regular Step class at the gym - of course that still counts, but what I’m really getting at is [...]
