An utterly selfish Christmas offering for ladies in need of pampering

2009 brought the financial crisis and forced women across the UK to reflect on their spending habits. In response, we sacrificed a few of life’s simple luxuries. Women all over the UK swapped their pristine manicure and pedicures for the smudged and chipped “do-it-yourself” look.

We trusted our best friend to trim our fringes, saved 30 quid, and convinced ourselves that the jagged look was very en Vogue. Our “at-home facials,” as they were so cleverly marketed, left tears in our eyes and a puffy- and blotchy-faced monster staring back at us in the mirror. Not to mention other doomed beautifying rituals such as the tan-in-a-can (always risky) and the inevitably painful home waxing.

Gone is the beautiful, glowing and preened Fashionista of last year or has she?
