CLARINS - Tribute to Zimbabwe Women

Next week I have been invited to a function by Clarins. A garden party with demonstrations and make overs!

I have used their products for some years and really feel they are the best! My skin responds to them and their natural ingredients make me feel good using them. the results show!

At their last function I was lucky enough to win the hamper of products which extended my knowledge of the range. Here I am seen with Jane Coombes - the Zimbabwe General Manager for Clarins.

"With Clarins Life is More Beautiful " is their slogan - and I agree. More about this after the 25th!

Difficult times for foodies

The supply of basic food stuffs had diminished drastically over the last month. it is almost impossible to find eggs - flour - milk!!!!!! However we still manage to provide food on our tables that is more than acceptable.

some years ago i found a little book written by a commune in America. the members do not eat meat or any dairy products or eggs! so now i am happily making egg less biscuits and egg less cakes.

Good food is still be provided on our tables.

However restaurants are suffering. I went to a meeting a week or so back - a lunch with a speaker - on the menu was the choice of chicken and chips or soup and rolls. Guess what? No rolls - how can you have a meager bowl of soup and not provide a roll to accompany it! The excuse? They are too expensive to provide!!

Oh well lets hope things will look up over the next couple of weeks!
