Today, I will be ranting about something that is very close to my heart and something that I rarely share with other people. Maybe some of you can relate. I had my first pimple at the tender age of 8. Strictly speaking, I had pretty bad skin, growing up with moderate to severe acne. Papules, pustules, cysts, nodules, acne scars, enlarged pores & blackheads were the constant foes I had to battle.

Beanie. Check. Scarf. Check. Gloves. Check. More diligent exfoliation. Errr, well….
Good Friday. Means a whole lot of stuff to a whole lot of people, but in the spirit of being fare and, well yes, good to everyone (don’t we all pray to the “Foundation, Bronzer and the holy Lipstick” anyway?) I thought I’d change today’s name – just on this site now, don’t go sending me nasty comments – to Good Skin Friday. Like it? ... 
Is it just me, or is this recession business starting to get old? You see a couple of months ago, I made a pact with my good pal Emma that we wouldn’t shop (quite so much) for a while, and I think we’re both now on the brink of breaking....
