Just to clarify, I am referring to male fragrances and not to the socks lying on my bedroom floor. Set a task, by the editor of www.westlondonliving.com, to find 3 of the best men’s smells, I started to wonder what makes one man smell better than the next? And how much of a man’s personality is emphasised or masked by his waft?

Much like Spiderwoman, I love a mission. Today’s mission was to discover whether TRX is just another exercise fad or a legitimate way to develop my core strength. As a regular boot-camper, swimmer and runner, the idea of exercise was not about to put me off. Nevertheless, I do find gym work-outs rather uninspiring places; the mass of blank faces, aggressive looking machines and the deafening noise of a highly irritating chart song.

My new-ish life as ‘one who writes’ needs accessorising. Quite frankly, I hardly need any excuse to shop but my beautiful Pinch desk (40th birthday present from Him) is currently drowning under the men’s fragrances, beauty products, press releases and non-negotiable drawings ‘made for mum’.
I had in mind a big straw basket in which I could keep all the items either being reviewed or about to be considered for review. As always, I find the most brilliant items when not looking. I was actually hunting down some popcorn when I came across this beautiful wooden storage box. Hand-made by Nkuku, a divine company who pride themselves on their fair trade and eco-friendly products, I knew immediately that I was going to have to ignore its hefty price tag.
Justifying madly, I convinced myself that the non exploitation of children, the safe working conditions and the vital support of local community initiatives could all play a part in my mission to become clutter-free. And I now have no excuse but to work.
