    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    My reaction, too. And I only just found out who she is. I am so out of the loop.

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    It's the ancient Curse Of The Internet: no vocal or body/facial cues + own emotional filters = Miscommunication Strikes Sometimes. BRAVA!! Where we are living in culture and time determines what we decide are "masculine" and "feminine" norms. It's very liberating to be aware of that...

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    I think some people are really attracted to people who seem confident and at home in their own skin, whether it has make-up on bits of it or not. Frankly, those are the best of the lot :D If that's your photo, there's no fooling involved.

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    That is just appalling. I've noticed this. For cosmetics, toiletries, and clothing especially, salespeople seem to think woman in make-up = consumer; woman without make-up = a hard sell. People really do react to us in very different ways according to how we're presenting ourselves...

    Terribly Thin Hair

    Oooooh, I do love a nice hat! I used to wear hats more often, as a younger teenager, but sort of fell out of the habit. I do have a bit of a thing for cloche hats, which my Grandma told me were still being worn in the 40s, and for fedora-style ladies' hats. Also flat caps and berets... I...

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    That's very kind :) I have no idea why, but a 1 sneaked in there somewhere along the way! I've gone back and re-entered the url, so I hope it works now :)

    Bath or Shower

    * Daily: "Navy showers" or "stand-up washes" - they're quick and get you just as clean as anything else is likely to :) * Daily: Dry brushing first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Haven't done this over the past couple of weeks as I was ill, but it really makes my skin smooth...

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    I hope it isn't necessary for me to say this, but just in case: What I posted above in no way implies any moral judgment about wearing or not wearing make-up (or anything else, for that matter). Being confident and easy in your skin isn't contingent on whether or not you doll yourself up. I...

    Lush Life

    I love Lush for occasional treats. I try to keep life simple and don't buy much in the way of toiletries and beauty products at all, but they're my preferred port of call when I do want to buy such things because they're more environmentally and socially responsible than most. They have...

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    I started to respond to this, but it turned into a really long post. So I cut it down to this: * All our thoughts and emotions are about neural pathways being set up and reinforced without us realising it, and decisions are made before we realise we've made them. Most of what we're up to in...

    Terribly Thin Hair

    You all rock for taking the time to think this through, come up with ideas, and post urls :) I think what's best is to take a couple of photos so you can see what's going on with my hair, but that would have to wait until the weekend(ish). For now, I'll tackle some of the ideas: * Going...

    Terribly Thin Hair

    I do appreciate you getting back to me :) Unfortunately, that's one of the threads I did look at, and the lady in question has far more hair than I do. I could only wish for hair as thick as hers :)

    Terribly Thin Hair

    Hi - I'm new here, and newly stepping into beginning to put together a British WWII-Austerity inspired look. I've always loved the no-nonsense, simple aesthetic, and as I hurtle ever closer to 40, I've decided to stop dithering and trying to fit in with what everyone else is doing (I was never...
