For an instant Luscious face lift, go get your eyebrows, waxed, plucked or threaded!
Remember, your eyebrows are the frame of your face, so for just a few quid you can look instantly amazing.
Getting your Groove Back Tip:
If you have a very low pain threshold like I do, avoid threading because it can blooming hurt.
Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens

You don’t have to bring the kids with you mums to appreciate this wonderful theatre performance. Oddly enough, despite the 3.15 pm start and glorious sunny day, kids only represented around 30% of the audience. Throw in the fabulously decorated pavilion serving wonderful champagne, a selection of fine wines and a story line that was food for thought, it is a great day out with or without the kids.
The very moving ending reminded me of how much we loose our groove once we grow older. When Wendy became an adult, Peter Pan reappeared and reminded Wendy that in order to fly again all she had to do was think happy thoughts.
She was unable to do so however because now, she was living the life representative of the life many of us are living today. The spring in her step (the groove) was no more. Instead was a dreary Job, a dreary home and a dreary life. A life with no colour and only greys with her happy thoughts, dreams and aspirations reduced to just memories.
It was quite something too when we left the performance and whilst walking through Hyde Park my my friends 7 year old daughter proclaimed,
‘Mummy, I’m thinking happy thoughts but I’m still not flying’. That made us roar with laughter.
To me, Georgina is the perfect child who possesses such a care free spirit! She’s always springing around and has a wonderfully airy fairy spirit. Full of innocence and not a care in the world.
I only hope in years to come that life doesn’t strip that spirit away.
Getting your Groove back Tip:
Think happy thoughts!
