Oh, and if you’d like a little light reading on a regular basis, please subscribe to my newsletter.
I also have a YouTube channel if you fancy watching me ramble on in person!

YouTube Bloopers
Have you subscribed to Beauty By Dez YouTube Channel? I post videos that don't always make it onto the website. Sometimes the videos don't always go strictly to plan. Here are a few of last years bloopers, that didn't make the cut.
How to find the perfect pair of jeans
Do you struggle to find jeans that fit? I can’t tell you the number of pairs of jeans I’ve sent back over the years because they are either too tight round the waist, too baggy on the leg, far too long, too saggy at the bottom, or just look wrong on my body.
