 November 12 Lovely LOLA's Kitchen cupcakesThis blog is about all things gorgeous, so when a box of delicious LOLA's cupcakes arrived at our offices, we had to say a big Thank You. LOLA’s Kitchen is a boutique bakery which makes chic and delicious cupcakes, all baked fresh in small batches throughout the day. They have just developed a delicious range of seasonal cupcakes for a frosting-filled Merry Christmas, including a new aromatic gingerbread sponge. The Ho Ho Ho collection, which has cupcakes iced in lovely festive colours with matching sprinkles and edible Christmas images, would make a perfect dessert at a dinner party. Or try the Snowflake collection cupcakes, frosted with white chocolate and butter cream icing and dusted with an assortment of crushed candy canes, snowballs, silver stars and sparkling edible glitter. LOLA's Kitchen have recently launched their first cupcake bar in the Selfridges Food Hall in London, so swing by for a coffee and a treat next time you're shopping in town.

Don't squeeze a spot until you've watched this!Let's face it, most of us are tempted to squeeze if we fall victim to a spot, but there is a safe and effective way of doing it which prevents redness and scarring. The Pore Draw technique, pioneered by Karin Herzog, gets great reviews in the press and on Twitter and Facebook. The technique can be experienced as a facial at salons (you may have heard of Bliss Spa's Oxygen Facials, which according to US Vogue treated even "elephant man acne") and there is now a home tutorial video, with step by step instructions, for people to try in the comfort of their own bathrooms. Karin Herzog's Julie Cichoki says: "Not everyone can get to the spas and salons and almost everyone has congested skin, especially those living in highly polluted urban cities, so many will benefit from following this tutorial." Watch the video and save yourself potential scarring by extracting pores in the right way.

November 10 Bag a celebrity T-dress at River Island and raise money for a great causeAlesha Dixon, Pixie Lott, Kelly Rowland and boy band Kid British have teamed up with leading high street retailer River Island, for an exclusive range of T-shirts in aid of youth charity, The Prince’s Trust. The collection has been designed by River Island’s top young designers especially for each celeb, all of whom are Prince’s Trust Ambassadors, to reflect each star’s own personal style – and for a short time only you can get your hands on them too. The unique designs will go on sale at River Island stores and online, with all profits going to The Prince’s Trust to help change young lives. Pixie Lott’s T-dress fuses a fun zebra print with her signature punky rock twist, featuring this season’s key trend of fringing. “My T-shirt dress is everything it should be - cheeky, fun and cool. I’m hoping it will raise a lot of money for The Prince’s Trust as it’s a cause close to my heart,” says Pixie. Alesha Dixon’s T-dress personifies the ultimate disco-diva! Purple sequins, a belted waist and feminine flower embellishment make this dress sexy and fun – perfect for dancing the night away! Says Alesha: “My T-shirt dress is fabulous - it’s really me - and I can’t wait to wear it on stage or for a night out partying.” Kelly Rowland describes her style as “classic meets contemporary with an edge of sexiness”. Her T-dress is a beautifully structured, one shoulder design, with stunning crystal detailing. She says, “I have always loved things that sparkle – you’ll see that my River Island T has gorgeous crystals all over it.” For the lads, the team at River Island have been inspired by Kid British’s cool and laid back style. The four T-shirts are perfect everyday staples. Each T-shirt combines a classic design with an on-trend twist, such as Sean’s gorilla print T and James’ classic polo shirt with on-trend stripes. The River Island Presents…T’s for The Trust range will go on sale in all River Island stores on 12th November and are available online now at www.riverisland.com, all profits will go to The Prince’s Trust. |
