		<description><![CDATA[The Universe has a sick sense of humour. Over the past 5 years I have come to depend on food. I have always loved eating. (I&#8217;m a Taurean &#8211; sue me!) But it was my Stepford wife transformation when I moved in with my husband that inspired me to learn how to cook. Cooking, ah I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, I know I&#8217;m pregnant and therefore a little more volatile emotional. This isn&#8217;t about my pregnancy (one would hope no one ever makes this mistake with me). This is one of those &#8216;unspoken&#8217; injustices that women face whilst pregnant. Something that makes my blood boil. In the US a woman was refused a single [...]]]></description>

My midwife commented a number of times during my labour that I was simply &#8216;too composed&#8217; for a first time Mum. My birth was so tranquil that no one knew when I had hit transition. I had done my homework and yet there were a million things [...]]]></description>

Not as a protest, but as an exploration of beauty, makeup, self-esteem and the status quo. You can read their posts here &#38; here. Skin care and makeup is a timely subject for me. My skin at the  moment is absolutely radiant. So [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember Day from hell had last week? Well it was actually more hellish than I described. You see there was another minor complication that I wasn&#8217;t at liberty to discuss. So let me fill you in. During the 2 hours of tantruming I was also vomiting. Nothing drastic, no food poisoning, my body just doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
