Female Hair Loss – Another taboo subject
Like most women, I am a little vain when it comes to my hair. I keep it long, colour it a lighter shade of blonde on a regular basis, and generally swing and toss it about as much as possible for effect. I really can’t begin to understand how it would feel like to lose my hair – I know I would be devastated. And yet, this is more common that we think…or at least talk about.

Escaping to some Winter Sun
That’s it, we are officially in Christmas season. John Lewis have released their advert this morning and it is another absolute triumph, a real tear jerker entitled ‘The Man in the Moon’. This very fact, combined with the passing of both Halloween and Bonfire Night, means that we are now safely on the home stretch towards Christmas. But what if your best answer to Christmas and Winter is to escape it? What if you like a little Winter Sun. There are certainly some real bargains to be found at this time of year, with companies like Sunshine.co.uk offering cheap flights, hotels and package holidays while the season is quieter.
