I remember that as well. Wasn’t the poster in question training to be a vicar?

That's the one.

Could someone post a link to the fb site? Ta.

Don't get angry with yourself. That just adds to the insomnia. But you might want a new method to try and get to sleep. I listen to boring podcasts sometimes. But that requires that I step away from the other diversions

I really enjoy the podcast ‘Nothing Much Happens’ for sleep.

To be fair she makes the end result work! (Having seen the youtube video already)

Do you think?? I think she legitimately looks like an oompah loompah, but it definitely wouldn't be as drastic without the platinum hair.

Her article is on the Guardian site, but I find it's easier to Google it than to find it on the Guardian.

Yes the DoP was years ago, however it’s ongoing bad behaviour isn’t it? Did she apologise to Esther yet?

Apparently she and Esther have reconciled things, or come to an understanding, behind the scenes.

I’m the same height as her so definitely not a shortie hater! Just think there are more flattering styles for diminutive gals like me and Sal.

I'm even shorter!

I liked her wedding outfit, she looked great and happy.

The H&M collection on the other hand looked awful in store. Flimsy and cheap.

Velvet blush is back in stock now - I have just ordered!

 

[Badabing101]

It made me smile too.

 

[Too Much]

How she handles greys remains a bit of a mystery, which is odd given how much she said previously about the prospect.

She actually wrote a good article in The Guardian about PPD in dyes and how companies with huge R&D budgets were just ignoring the problem, despite fatalities. For her to then publish little on the issue (apart from the occasional mention of a roots touch up wand) seems odd.

So I had a google and we have a definitive statement from her:

(Some may now be rolling their eyes out of their heads at her concern about prescriptive comments about women’s appearance.)

I guess this photoshop plan from 2017 is lost to The Pool archives:

The 2020 plan is blonde, but - as we know - she’s not quite there yet...

Here’s a little summary that might be helpful for some, especially if worried about PPD:

So the line is that her current colour is her natural colour, as she can no longer dye it that darker brown. And her greys have progressed very slowly. I don’t quite buy it. I wouldn’t give a damn if she wasn’t claiming openness while misleading her readers in many areas. Is she really being #prettyhonest about hair colour? I wonder if she’s using a very narrrow definition of “dye”? If you’re not colouring your hair then surely you don’t need root touch up wands, unless for the few early ones that tend to arrive around the hairline. May be that’s all she’s doing? Something doesn’t add up to me.

I don't particularly care about her hair, but I bet that other people do and look to her for advice etc - and this is all just so complicated and confusing! It seems unnecessarily so, but it is likely that she is trying to hide something, as otherwise it'd be a simple straight story, right?

That’s not the first time she hadn’t worn a mask properly, either. (Hey, what happened to those “must have” silk masks she was shilling a few weeks ago?)

Just had a nosy look. Stupid moo, all the germs leaking out the side too. And how dare she sully VV Rouleaux. I've been going there for donkey's.

I unfollowed her a while back so I have to go to the trouble of searching and click to snoop and hate.

 

[MakkaPakka]

Hahaha... brilliant.

Talking about influencers and freebies:

'I'm sick of influencers asking for free cake'

Some small businesses are resisting calls from social media influencers for free gifts.

That "Karishmua" should be ashamed of herself, wasting her medical training 🩺 (it doesn't say how many years she studied) for a different kind of leeching.

Going back a post or fifty - I have a subscription to FFS razors (I am in the UK, I say that because I think that they are based in Scotland so don't know if they ship outside the UK). They are brilliant. My blades come on subscription, you can save your dead blades and once you have 12 send them back for recycling (in the plastic trays they came in, in one of the boxes they came in). I really like them. A couple of my friends use them too and also like them. I got the husband a subscription to Harrys, he says they are goo. Not sure if they will recycle the blades (may be I will send those back to FFS too, see what happens )

On salts, Amazon or I add them to the Ocado shop.

Who is Yel's profile picture?

I always assumed Yel’s was her real pic. In my defence I’m always on my phone so missed how sleb it looks...

I think someone asked this on the last thread too. Looks like Pixie Lott to me!

 

[MissPoppyFourPaws]

I am such an avid lurker on this thread. It is witty. There are tips are recommendations.
I just wanted to say that I appreciate you all, your words can cheer a dull day. Cheers. xx

Ditto, thank you all

See she’s copied Sam Chapman’s interpretation of the weird dog poo palette today. Looks a little less terrible with some eyeliner.

I watched the Bobbi Brown video and was mesmerised by he forehead. It's so very smooth. I mean, even when raising her eyebrows there's not a single wrinkle.

 

[GTL Old-Timer]

Wait so how do I remember her as being called a make up artist? Was that her title on the Guardian back in the day? I feel like that is how I was led to trust her.

She repeatedly goes on about how she assisted Lynn Easton for a few years when she was a teen runaway.

Hoping I can use the 'hive mind' here for a non-finch related question.

Does anyone have any recs for places to get laser eye surgery? I'm currently in West London.

Re laser eye surgery - I did lots of research before my sons had the surgery and they had theirs with Mr Ionides at Moorfields - my brother went to a laser co and had no end of issues that were finally resolved by Mr Ionides too.
