SWANNING ABOUT: THE BEAUTY COUNTER
Apparently there are women out there who get enough shut-eye, eat a balanced diet, guzzle litres of water, maintain regular exercise, stay out of the sun, drink alcohol in moderation and never go to bed without taking their makeup off.

SWANNING ABOUT: VILLAS OF BYRON

BEAUTY BON VOYAGE
By Jacinta Richmond Holidaying at far-away destinations such as New York and Dubai is all well and good, but airport rigmarole and long-haul plane travel en route to these fabulous locations is not so good… Putting your laptop, handbag, and shoes into little bins, shoving your carry-on liquids into a zip lock bag, wondering if [...]
