Christmas come early

I know it's a bit early to mention the 'C' word but when I got home tonight after a lovely meal at our local, The Canton, to the fact that our kitchen had flooded again (four times in six months) this piece of news really cheered me up.

The picture above makes me smile. Selfridges has announced the exclusive launch of the ‘All I Want For Christmas’ advent calendar, which has been exclusively produced by L’Oreal for the department store.

Comprising 24 windows behind which lie miniature versions of the cutest beauty products, the advent calendar is the ultimate gift for any beauty product lover.
