Come back to the fold.
Have you noticed the nasolabial fold is not what it used to be? Those lovely little lines from your nose down on either side of your mouth, that crinkle when we laugh, are no longer in vogue… or, as it turns out, in Vogue. Today I was sitting in the hairdresser, having my own, modest…

Restraint? – hold on a minute!
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful! –Mae West Just finished the last swallow of my coffee. It is not quite 6am and already I’m wishing I had a second cup. But I have learned, a second cup is just not the same. The first cup each morning is perfection, but after that,…
