When it comes to getting my haircut I am inherently lazy. I have had so many disasters at hair salons that I dread going to the salon and tend to go every 4 months or so rather than the recommended 6 weeks. Well, I’ve finally booked myself in for a cut and colour later in [...]

I know a woman who always looks incredible in photographs. She has got posing for a picture down to a tee and it is quite incredible to see her whole demeanour change when a lens is pointed at her. It’s not that she’s vain, she just knows exactly how to work the camera and knows [...]
