I made one of my very rare trips to Liverpool last week which proved so worthwhile as I stumbled across ORIGINS which is a range of skin care products I have never tried before.

The very lovely Eileen treated me to a arm & hand massage using their wonderful products which contain essential oils, extracts of aromatic plants and potent herbs and I was just in heaven.

I came home with a variety of pots to try all of which have proved to be excellent. "Gloomaway" a body exfoliator/cleanser, Youthopia a skin firming lotion both are just lovely to use.

Watch this space for mention of other ORIGIN products and I do hope there will soon be a stockist in Southport.

If you have tried Origin products do contact me with your comments.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO FOR A FULL BLOWN PERFUME WHY NOT TRY CHANEL HAIR MISTS. CHANCE OR COCO MADEMOISELLE FRAGRANCES ARE EQUALLY LOVELY . A QUICK SPRAY OVER YOUR HAIR WORKS WONDERS.

The sci-fi style packaging of this new Thierry mugler perfume is quite exceptional. \The fragrance seems a mixture of woody, musky, amber and has a delicious warmth to it.

I am also a great lover of Thierry Mugler Cologne which is quite different but just as gorgeous.

Eating out usually gives me the inspiration to try new idea's and ingredients and my visit to VOLARE was no exception.

This lovely cosy Italian Restaurant has a menu full of interesting dishes but I was tempted twice by starters that included Polenta.

My favourite was polenta chargrilled with beans and spicy sausage which was scrumptious, and I also tried polenta with asparagus and parmesan cheese.

I was thrilled when I discovered a packet of ready made Polenta at SAINSBURY'S and it was just a case of slicing it and either frying or grilling it and I enjoyed it as an alternative to potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Have a go and let me know what you think.

Do you suffer the problem of greasy flat hair the minute the weather turns hot and sunny. Well I certainly do but a friend recommended TONY & GUY Model.Me Quick fix dry shampoo.
I went rushing to Tony & Guy Hair salon but they were sold out of the product ,but the very helpful assistant told me to go to BOOTS as they stocked this particular item.
I am really grateful to her as it has made life much easier, instead of washing my hair every day a quick spray of this aerosol does the trick and it also smells really fresh and lovely.

Here is a puzzle for you, any idea what a "Yaffe Lean" might be. I have to admit that until this week I didn't know either but after spending a wonderful evening in Yaffe's studio I was educated about it.
Its all to do with the way you stand when having a photograph taken ,which Adam Yaffe explained in great detail ,because it makes a big difference to the end result of a portrait.
If you want an example of this special stance go onto my website www.sandragee.co.uk and you will see me in this special position.
Also at this packed evening was a demonstration of hairstyles by Worthingtons and aesthetics & skin care by Gina of the newly opened Granville Clinic all of which were really interesting.
