Domestic Business Class - is it worth it?

By -
As a member of the Virgin Australia Velocity program, I often get invitations in my inbox to 'upgrade' my flights to Business Class.  I had just assumed that it wasn't worth the dosh for short flights.  This Easter, my curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to see for myself if it were any different to economy.
A business class flight from Sydney to Hobart will cost you about $250 on top of your regular fare.  Here's what that extra loot will get you;

* a very comfy leather seat with lots of leg room

* unlimited drinks in proper glass cups

* a very nice meal designed by a celebrity chef

* proper cutlery

* a tray table that isn't on the back of someone's seat

* addressed by your name by the flight staff

* priority boarding

And the piece de resistance...

* a chocolate bunny



Seriously, though- if you hate flying and can afford to upgrade, do it.  Personally, I'd rather spend that extra money on something else!

Review! Bondi Sands Tanning Foam

A few days ago, I had an event to go to, but because I was so bloated from the surgery, I couldn't wear my usual bodycon style dresses.  I opted for a floral romper that I bought from Hello Molly.  It looked lovely on, but my legs were letting the team down.  They were pasty and stubbly with small nicks and cuts- delightful!  Normally I'd put on a pair of pantyhose and be done with it, but I had planned to wear open-toed shoes.  Time was running out, so I had a look for toeless stockings online that could be delivered quickly.  Woolies express didn't do toeless stockings, but I did stumble upon Bondi Sands tanning foam, which was on special. The last time I had used a home tanning product was well over 10 years ago.  I couldn't seem to get it right back then, even with those gradual tanning moisturisers.  I decided to buy the mit that Bondi Sands recommend to apply the foam.  I began by exfoliating my body with exfoliating gloves.  Then I applied a little moisturiser

Review! Harlotte Cosmetics

I have always admired Michelle Crofts as a makeup artist, so when she brought out her own makeup line many years ago, I rushed out to try it.  At the time the range was quite small, but this is what appealed to me.  A range of brown nude and pink nude lippies, with either pink or peach blush, and an amazing eye pencil for creating an effortless smokey eye.  The packaging was cute, but there were no gimmicky "magic" products, or "collect them all" marketing ploys. The products themselves were of superb quality, but unfortunately could only be purchased online and at selected salons. Hence I kind of forgot about how good they were, opting for whatever was convenient or on sale at Coles. I am however, following Harlotte on Instagram, and noticed that the range had expanded to include foundation, highlighter etc.  Since I was fresh out of my Rimmel foundation, I decided to give Harlotte Afterglow a try.  I went to their website and ordered the Yuxin fashion week pack, w
