About me

I am now retired from my ceramic art practice due to health problems I have had 6 back operations and am not allowed to lift anything heavy now, so had to give it up. I started by studying at TAFE and then on to university gaining a BA in visual arts in my late 40's. I am a wife, a mother to 2 children one boy and one girl both married and I am also a grandmother now too. My husband and I moved into a retirement village a couple of years ago so we could downsize our home and make life easier for us both. We enjoy cooking and trying new food and recipes.and entertaining our friends. We love to travel especially cruising and visiting new countries. We both drive and also like to travel around WA and visit other Australian States. As I get older I find I don't wear much makeup now but I do use a skin moisturiser and anything to help my ageing skin , I also use lipstick and a light touch of a bronzer to define my face,I do my toenails and fingernails with varnish , as well as use a light dusting of powder over a base when we go out. Sunscreen and lip balm are also used living in Perth we get a lot of sun, so it all helps.I have a very dry skin and use a lot of moisture lotions all over my body too. My hair is now going grey which I dont mind but it does tend to be dry so I use a good shampoo and conditioner and often give it a good full conditioning treatment My teeth are ok but I would like them a shade whiter I was born in the UK but lived most of my early years in Africa then back to the UK and after meeting my husband when we were teenagers we then married and I returned back to Africa before coming to Perth in the 1970's with my husband and two kids.

This is great as I have very dry skin all over my face and body, so I use this every day and find that over time my skin is not quite as dry it usually is. I use a small amount and rub it in gently all over my face and neck and it states it is a 4-in 1 ultra hydrating formula.Well all I can say is that it is working on me. My skin looks and feel so much better no way as dry as usual. I have found something that actually works on my skin. I like the fact it is made by a company that I know and use a lot. Dermal Therapy has quite few items in their name.

I got this together with the shampoo and love it.They tell me that they used cutting-edge technology which was backed up by extensive research After washing my hair I used this and it feels fantastic. It has left my hair feeling soft and looking so shiny. It has some indulgent hair products in it,such as Argan oil which is recognized for its moisturising properties and which is to ensure you have an enhanced vibrancy of coloured hair, and also leaving your hair feeling so very soft ,and they do say its will be anti-tangle as well so my hair will be even be looking even better.

As I am now going grey,so I now have to put a bit of colour onto my hair. I tried this Toniandguy Shampoo pro and its best for people who have coloured their hair. It goes on well and does not leave a mess as others I have tried do. Its in a nice size ,slim and easy to get hold of when your using it. It leaves your hair feeling smooth and easy to brush and or comb. I love the fact its sulfate-free and also cleans your hair without stripping off the colour. When its dry your hair will feel so good and look even better

I got this Glow Lab Hydro-Surge Overnight Cream only the last week and I have been using it nightly and I just adore this cream. It goes on well and is not too greasy on my face,one of my dislikes of a lot of creams and even moisturisers My skin feels great and I am sure my fine lines on my face have faded.I am hoping by using this cream nightly it will help my fine lines to not be so on show. On waking my skin feel and looks so much better and even feels softer and looking at face I am sure some of the fine lines have disappeared. At my age I do not expect too much for any product but this one seems to have outdone all the others I have tried.And because I have tried so many of this kind of product and they just mostly cost a fortune and do very little so I would highly recommend this Glow Lab Hydro-Surge Overnight Cream to anyone who has not yet tried it. Plus I have given it five stars I do not do that often. So if you think you need a lift for your skin and fine lines give this product a try and see how you feel about it.

I got this as a gift from my daughter she knows about my dry skin and said as she has already tried this I would really like it. She was correct it goes on beautifully not oily even though it does have essential oils as part of its contents but my skin loves it. It is concentrated so you only need a small amount and it goes a a long way. Very creamy and soft and gentle on your skin. Its an intensive moisturising day cream and can be used under make up as well. its useful for all skin types not just for dry skin. I did leave my skin looking good so I really do recommend it

I have very dry skin so use hand cream all the time I love this but as it only in a small bottle I use after I have done for the day. I got the Jasmine and rose bottle.It comes in a 125ml bottle with a pump action top.Which when you first get it is hard to open. But the cream is great as after you apply it to your hands it does go into your skin without leaving your hands feeling greasy or sticky. It has Shea butter and nourishing antioxidants its Certified Organic and vegan friendly and free of parabens. My only complaint is that it only seems to come in such small bottles,as I use it a lot.

I have very dry skin and this is great as it goes on a bit creamy but that soon melts into your skin, leaving you feeling fresh and bright. It claims to help if you have skin that needs soothing or repaired such as a rash or acne or anything else that might mar your skin. It comes in a tube container and you only need small amount as it seems to go a long way. The cream is white in colour and does not have a smell so will not effect any perfume. I have been using this for a little over a week and I can see the difference already. My skin is not so dry and it is looking so much better. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a problem with their skin.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ Balm Cream is a lovely cream for repairing and hydrating your skin. It feels a little too greasy at first but soon seems it melts into your skin leaving you feeling so good. They claim it can be used for almost everyone including children and babies and anyone with sensitive skin.It has been dermatological tested for people with sensitive skin as well as dry and very dry skin.Plus if you have dry patches or rough areas and are prone to red skin it seems to work on all of that. I have used it for about a week now and my skin is looking and feeling fantastic.I would recommend it for anyone who might need a bit of help with their skin problems.

I found this QV Ceramides Cleanser by accident when I was browsing at my local chemist and it looked good as most items made by QV have been excellent. It is a lovely creamy texture and goes onto your skin very nicely After you have cleaned your skin with it you feel so nice and it does not leave any greasy feeling. I also says it is also a moisturiser and as I have a dry skin I was pleased to give it a try. As one of the older age groups I think my skin looked and felt great after I have I had removed from my face and body so I will continue and see how it goes over a longer period of time.
