It's probably quite clear by now from our recent post that Dork Adore is firmly a collection of GHD devotees. Personally I've tried out a few other types of hair straighteners, including the wet-to-dry ones and the cheaper ones, but I always come back to GHD. However, if the beauty buzz in the … [Read more...]
Want to be in Wacky Races? Now you can
As a kid, one of my favourite cartoons was Hannah-Barbera's Wacky Races. Each episode centred around a motley crew of drivers battling to win the race in a variety of bizarre forms of transportation. Now there's an opportunity to take part in your very own wacky race thanks to IWOOT.com. The … [Read more...]
WaterRower: The first visually pleasing rowing machine?
The terms 'stylish' and 'natural' are not terms most people associate with an exercise machine. Functional, yes. Safe, God I hope so. But the reality is that you're buying it so that you can look good, not so that it looks good in your spare room. WaterRower are hoping to change this with their … [Read more...]
Being Human series 2 sneak preview
"Hello Bloggers!" says Colin Teague, director of the first three episodes of Being Human, series two, before going on to show us a glimpse of Mitchell without a top on.

Dork Review: Dremel Hobby Stylus
Ever since that advert where an enthusiastic Alexei Sayle told me about the wonders of a Dremel 300 Multitool, I've wanted one. Now, I'm well aware that something that claims to be a jack-of-all-trades is most likely master of none, but such is Dremel's hold over me that when offered the chance … [Read more...]
JoyofClothes.com: The key to stress-free shopping?
Clothes shopping online has so many advantages to its real life equivalent. It's often cheaper, faster and no one seems to mind if you do it whilst wearing a pair of cow print pyjamas. Unfortunately, online shopping tends to lead to some of us *cough* taking on a slightly skewed view of their … [Read more...]
Confess your embarrassingly nerdy obsessions here
Watching Mastermind this week, I realised that basically all of my options for specialist subjects relate to pointless things I'm sad and obsessive about and none involve classical music, politics, literature or anything important. My plan now is to feel better about myself by a) confessing my … [Read more...]

Breastlight: A spotlight on breast health
Checking your breasts on a regular basis should be as much a part of your routine as booking in a wax or giving yourself a manicure. The thing is, a lot of women (me included) are unsure of what to look for. Things can change a lot over the course of a month and it's hard know what changes are … [Read more...]
