Thought I would round up the year with my recommendations on the best beauty discoveries I made this year, all of which have been tried and tested by yours truly. Some of them are perennial favourites which will feature on any beauty haul Top 10 that I put together for years to come. Others are new entrants on the beauty block that have passed the Triple F test!

In no particular order

Drum role please........

Good Genes Treatment from Sunday Riley

I first introduced you to this ba...

Its that time of year, recently coined "twixmas" when we grab that spare tyre round our middle and proclaim that 2017 is going to be the year that we finally have a six pack.

Or we look at our bank balance and declare, this year "Rodney" we will become a multi millionaire!

Some of us might want to run a marathon, set up a new side line business, publish our first novel, get onto the property ladder, have a baby. Others may be wishing for world peace!

Whatever your dreams, hopes and goals are for 2017, i...

Three successive days of gloriously indulgent binge eating and drinking over with, today I'm back in the gym and reaching for the kale to make my super green smoothie for lunch. Agreed, its an acquired taste but as they say "nothing looks as good as healthy feels". 

I totally loved being able to wear my Christmas dresses but New Year is still to come and I have something just as spectacular planned to see in 2017 so its time to HIIT the gym hard and pull out all the anti-bloat detox miracles...

Sadly its time to step away from the mince pies ladies! Even sadder still its time to cut right back on the booze. It may have been fun but I'll wager your skin isn't thanking you for all those over indulgences today.

I've woken up looking like Deputy Dog!!! All puffy hang dog eyed. MAJOR DEHYDRATION!!!!!

I've also broken out in more than few seasonal spots.

Good news is that there are still a new more days left until New Years Eve so its time to party proof your skin.

First up, get MOISTURISING! Hu...

Tis the Friday before Christmas.

The wrapping is all done.

The bubbles are on ice.

So its time to kick back, relax and sit upon on my bum!

I've talked about my love of red wine, but I wouldn't be fit to call myself an FFF if I didn't have a bigger love for bubbles!

PINK BUBBLES.

Specifically I adore Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque Rose. 

Back in the days when I worked (I loosely call it work! It was more a social club to be fair that we just turned up to) in media in London, we held what were infamous Xmas parti...

Wednesdays are all about delivering a new workout idea. Remember I'm not a qualified fitness instructor so read my disclaimer! Approach with CAUTION! 

My attitude to fitness is much like my attitude to life. Full throttle. So be warned. Some of the routines I do are gonna hurt!! You may even need a little lie down afterwards. I don't really see the point in doing anything half heartedly and if you want to get results from anything, you need to throw yourself into it with gusto and COMMIT. Wh...

I take my fashion and my fitness seriously. None of this all the gear no idea for me! Well, maybe a little bit of form over function but I do like to look the part, no matter what the occasion, and these days the catwalk has very much collided with the cross trainer resulting in some fabulous design inspired workout wear that seamlessly fuses fashion with fitness.

I call it fashercise and it means you can be #stylishlysweating!

For me, life in general is a catwalk. Every day I make it my motto to get u...

You’ve worked out and worked hard all year round and now it’s time to cut loose and slink into that little black dress ready to party with your besties and fabulous FFF’s

What you don’t want to do in a concentrated 2 weeks of high octane festive frolics is un-do all the hard work of the last 12 months! As we all sadly know and have probably experienced, what’s easy to put on is so much darned harder to get off, particularly when you are in your 40’s.

I love to party as much as anyone so I’m not about t...

Remember when you were little and the most exciting thing about December was opening your advent calendar and counting down the days to Santa's arrival! If you were lucky, you got one that had a little Dairy Milk chocolate behind the window. In our house, my sister Scooby Lou (as I affectionately call her) and I would fight over who's turn it was to gobble it down!!!! Oh happy days!

Now the advent calendar is SERIOUS business and none more serious than the BEAUTY and BODY ADVENT calendar. Let's face i...

Here are #fabfitnernity we're always working on our master plan. Got to get your hustle on!

Always look out for your girl gang and stay strong - no matter what life throws your way. You've got this.

Much love and fabulousness
