I feel like I always look a mess on holiday and want to make more of an effort.

My tip: Avon skin so soft is great as aftersun spray and keeps the mosquitos at bay

My wants:

  • Something to tame my hair - it's thick and wavy and goes all Monica. My dream would be a product I can put on straight out of the shower and leave with no extra effort!

  • Non iron holiday clothes for a size 14, big bellied short 47 year old with huge boobs 😳

Have you tried the JVN air drying cream? I didn’t love it but I’ve got fine hair.

Keep your sangria (other beverages are available) levels topped up. It gives everything a gentle fuzz and you'll look great in the mirror.

Not strictly S&B but I always operate a 2 bikini system - one for swimming then one I quickly change into for sunbathing. I hate lying in damp bikinis. Usually have a halter neck for swimming then a strapless for sunbathing.

I use this to stop frizz! It’s great & not expensive! You need some ‘breakfast’ dresses - something nice you can just throw on to go breakfast!
