As winter begins I always enjoy layering-up in gloves, scarf, hoodie and my new winter coat. This year I went for a high-gloss, navy, Moncler down puffa with fur-collared hood, which is the epitomy of comfort. All wrapped up there’s nothing better than heading out for a stroll on a crisp winter’s morning with my pooch-pal, Harry.
Unfortunately this pleasure is short lived, as inevitably, we all reach saturation point with having to layer-up every time we step outside. Particularly given the weather this winter, preparing to go outdoors became a chore. To get me over this hump, I dream of warmer times and I’m looking forward to the lighter days, in every sense, of Spring. Read the rest of this entry »

When it comes to our hair, let’s face it, we blokes pretend we don’t really care what it looks like. But, secretly we love it when we hit style perfection. When your hair is right, the whole world rocks. It’s many a year since I embarked on my pilgrimage in search of the perfect product and low and behold this week I may just have reached my hair heaven.
As a teen, I got through bucket loads of extra strong gel. Yikes! As a twenty-something I dabbled with hair-sprays (yes, hair-sprays), waxes, pastes and liquid sprays. None of them really did the trick. Too hard. Too flat. Too fuzzy. Too sticky. Then along comes Mineral Control ‘Mess It Up Putty’ from those lovely ‘Stu… stu… stu…’ Studio Line people at L’Oréal Paris and, hey presto, my hair is doing all the things I thought it never would – a messed up style with a natural look.

Anyone who’s been there will know what I mean when I say I can’t think of anything worse than the feeling you experience when you drop, and subsequently step on, your favourite pair of glasses.
That’s exactly what I did a couple of months back when I broke my beloved frames clean in two. I even attempted a DIY glue job (I’d had them over 5 years) but it wasn’t to be.

The very fortunate winner will enjoy, (get this!!!) over TWO and a HALF HOURS of glorious, indulgent, delectable pampering including a Swedish back massage, hot towel shave and an Executive manicure…and if that wasn’t enough, afterwards you can even get your hair cut in the privacy of your own private booth if you so desire! Don’t say we don’t spoil you.
Perhaps this is one for you or indeed the man in your life (remember, even though I hate to say it, Christmas is only around the corner and what a smashing gift this would make!).
