My bestest friend in the whole wide world!

Simply had the best day last Friday with my most wonderful friend AHEJ! Met at Waterloo, walked over the bridge and into Convent Garden for a cup of tea. Where did that hour and half go?

Later, we just had to visit a pub on Knightrider Street (for those who know us will understand, for those who don't, well, you never will!) After much trepidation we went in to the pub, the name shamefully escapes me...we are met with a PACKED pub, food being served, people waiting for take outs, the bar is very busy..surprisingly so! We were drawn to the wall adorned with the deliciously insane and the guilty pleasure of the 1980's/90's, David Hasslehoff.  AHEJ and I stared in awe.


After a light lunch and some (LOL) glasses of Chenin Blanc we ventured out to House of Fraser (HOF) I know, isn't it so very perfect....so very perfect! Some shopping around - BIBA had the most amazing dresses and purchases from the perfume and make up counters, all paid for by my most wonderful dear friend AHEJ.. I love her!

Later on to Gordons Wine Bar, THE place for a romantic/clandestine/intimate evening, (not that AHEJ are that way inclined yet), place was FULL so we ended up at the Royal Festival Hall where we heard that Bunny Wailer was playing.


Such a great day and night, loved it and would definitely recommend the venues we visited.

I love my hair

In 1968 the stage musical Hair opened at the Shaftesbury Theatre, where it played 1,998 performances until its closure was forced by the roof collapsing in July 1973.

Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my hair ...

...the most fragrant woman

I love perfume, I also love long lazy baths filled with intoxicating scents of the orient (thats what it says on the bottle!) I love preparing my baths, taking time to create an ambience of calm. I light candles, play music which is carefully selected on Spotify. I enjoy a glass of champagne before and another whilst in the bath...

I just love to smell good



I have always loved perfume, I have always worn it, even when going to bed, didn't Marilyn Monroe wear Chanel No5 and nothing else? I always keep pure perfume in my bedroom, its such a luxurious and sensual scent.

 


Its so very important for a woman to wear perfume, I know its not everyone's top priority but for me, I never feel complete without it. It makes me feel confident, alive, beautiful - can a perfume really do that? I could go on forever about perfume, scents, long baths, body lotions, which reminds me, you simply must add this to your shopping list, Ren Moroccan Rose Otto Ultra Nourishing Oil
