Thought for the Day. Things I wish we could all move on from. Part One.

Enough already:
  • Middleton and Kardashian pregnancies. I'm very happy for them and wish them both the best - but I have been pregnant - in total - for 3.5 years of my life. I don't need/want their look.
  • Sudocrem on spots. Arse. Literally.
  • Argan Oil - Yes it's wonderful but it doesn't have to be in everything - and please stop calling it groundbreaking.
  • Painting your ring finger differently from the others. A trend not started by someone with OCD. Clearly. 
  • The word 'trend'. Forever.
  • Aapri Face Scrubs. I am still asked if they are 'ok to use'. Yes, on the sole of an elephant's foot.
  • The term 'squeaky clean'. Nothing on your body should squeak. You are not a rodent.

You?

Thought for the Day: Stem Cells and Bollocks

There are a lot of 'stem cell' products being launched at the moment. Brands need to be very very careful what claims they make when they suggest that a plant stem cell - a PLANT stem cell - can affect the cells in human skin. 

Its one thing to use peptides to stimulate and give a 'kick' to the skin and collagen. Its another to suggest that those carnations you bought from the Shell garage can reverse ageing and 'wake up' dead cells.

If we could 'wake up' anything 'dead' or 'non-responsive' in the human body don't you think scientists would give that knowledge to people who are paralysed?

Bollocks.

Just saying.
