Newsflash

It's too damn hot today.

Now if you'll excuse me, there's a bath full of ice calling to me.

The Idiots Guide to Wearing Perfume

Do:

- choose an appropriate scent for the time of day.
- dab or spritz your chosen scent lightly at your pulse points - wrists, behind the ears, cleavage, even behind the knees are all appropriate.
- put the bottle down and walk away.

Do not:

- wear an inappropriately heavy evening perfume during the day (YSL's Opium, for example), if you like the scent, chances are the particular perfume house has brought out a lighter version for wear during the day.
- bathe in it, or apply it with a hosepipe from a distance of 50 ft. Perfume is something that's supposed to entice from a short distance, not make me sneeze while I'm walking along the road, 20 yards behind you, when there's a fair enough crosswind that my hair is being blown across my face.

Bad Hair life?

According to Lush (via the BBC) the best place to wash your hair is in Scotland

Well no shit sherlock.

When I lived in Glasgow I never ever used conditioner, and my hair was always shiny and in good condition. Since moving down to London I find I have to use conditioner every time I wash my hair, otherwise I look like something that's been dragged through a hedge backwards.

Still, it looks like Lush have the right idea - regional shampoos, rather than just by hair type. Shiny clean hair for all!

Decisions, Decisions

So, it's 8 am, you peek out of the curtains to check the weather to enable you to decide what to wear to work.

It's sunny. It looks like a lovely day. However, you've already checked the weather report the night before and you know it's due to be warm and muggy, with thunderstorms later in the day.

You work in a building with intermittant air conditioning that either doesn't work, or freezes your tits off.

Do you:

a) wear the summer dress because you know otherwise you'll be a big sweaty mess/pass out on the walk to work
b) wear the summer dress but take an overshirt/cardigan with you because it might get cold in the office
c) dress appropriately for getting soaked

I, fool that I am, went for a) and now I'm freezing.

Brr.

Bloody weather.

Bloody air conditioning.

Bah.

Yet another post about the weather

Weather in London today - Max 30/86

Weather in Glasgow today - Max 25/77

This is the only thing that would make me want to be in Glasgow right now rather than in London.

I thought I would have acclimatised to the difference in temperature down here by now, but I really haven't, so if you'll excuse me, I'll be off hiding in a cool dark corner - if I can find one, that is.

Phew!
