This one is better value, almost as many rules as Sali will offer and I got it free in a lockdown bookswap with neighbours.
Oh man, what I would give for a decent night’s sleep! Don’t get me wrong, I ADORE my family, but I am so looking forward to lockdown being lifted for real. Then I can focus on work whilst my children are at day care. I can come home and focus on them before putting them to sleep and my wife and I can get a good night’s sleep in a clean and tidy house without worrying that we are behind on deadlines or having to bring work home.After having a bath with the famous bath salts I recommend drinking a cup of Valerian tea (made with two tea bags) for a brilliant nights sleep!![]()
Sounds absolutely perfect. I've been meaning to get one of those Dishoom kits for ages, report back if it's good!On the subject of the famous bath salts, I previously said that I was going to have an indulgent weekend to try to feel a bit more human again, and this weekend is that weekend
I’m going to have an uncomfortably hot bath with the Radox salts, with a new candle and a glass of red wine. This will be after a wonderfully slobby day of reading a stack of magazines, maybe watching a film, and certainly eating my own weight in biscuits. I’ve also ordered one of those Dishoom bacon naan kits, because if I’m going to be an indulgent slug, why not go all out?
All of this is on the assumption that I make it through the working week without cracking though.
And for the beef-faced trolls on the thread who would give their right arm for a day by themselves, I am available for baby-sitting duty once it’s safe and legal! Or we’ll do a Center Parcs spa day and drop the younglings off at some activity there![]()
Are you struggling to sleep because of stress/anxiety about things not being done, or is it more lack of sleep due to having to go to bed late and get up early?Oh man, what I would give for a decent night’s sleep!

Yes, that was my first thought. The overly smooth, tight forehead just emphasises the signs of ageing elsewhere on the face.This is my issue with tweakments, (although I’m not there yet) surely the smooth forehead and pristine brows are making her eyes look super crinkly when they’re probably not at all. Like you say - whack a mole!
All of the above. Plus, having a messy house that were stuck in all day isn’t helping.Are you struggling to sleep because of stress/anxiety about things not being done, or is it more lack of sleep due to having to go to bed late and get up early?
I used Valerian as a supplement for a tricky horse years ago, but never tried it myself. I’d do anything for an uninterrupted nights sleep though, so I’ll keep an eye out.After having a bath with the famous bath salts I recommend drinking a cup of Valerian tea (made with two tea bags) for a brilliant nights sleep!![]()
True, whereas Sali has LOADS of time on her hands!I think Hannah must genuinely be exhausted, she has worked like a maniac through Covid plus 2 smallies.
Oh me too! I don't have all the same pressures but often struggle to get to sleep due to anxiety. I've been taking CBD oil before bed and I think it's helping. I also have a sleep tea with valerian, lavender, camomile and other things in it... but I sleep better at weekends when the tea is swapped out for wine...All of the above.

Exfoliation is fine as long as it’s chemical (aha/bha/pha) and not physical (scrubby stuff). Sali’s using retinol as well which I bet she also puts around her eyes!I thought exfoliation of the face was Bad. Or is that Hirons? Am I getting my gurus in a muddle.
Ouch. And not a comment to flippantly give - I’m guessing she means with an acid, but I’ve got plenty of friends who would happily reach for the St Ives scrub if they saw that. Makes me cringe imagining it.This might explain the eyes... *screams in dermatologist*
And you don’t splash it around like Optrex...Exfoliation is fine as long as it’s chemical (aha/bha/pha) and not physical (scrubby stuff).
Same here, even when I was a fan I ignored that piece of ‘advice’ - I love my eye cream!Surely a skincare expert knows that skin around the eyes is more delicate? I'm so glad I ignored her advice of not using an eye cream because 'it's just an anti ageing moisturiser in a smaller pot" and followed my own instincts of using a dedicated eye product. Apart from skin around eyes being thinner I also find that using face cream in that area makes my eyes puffy
