To my dearest pierced lady and male friends, I have some great news to share with you. Revolutionary, almost. Well, maybe...

Do you ever find yourself unable to wear your favourite pair of sparkly, dangly, heavy stud earrings because the back simply falls off and leaves you running the risk of losing them?

Now, I am speaking from experience here, as I have a gorgeous pair of earrings that regularly ended up on the pavement due to useless backs, and as my favourite pair, let me tell you, this is rather frustrating.

Well, this could be a thing of the past. And it's all thanks, yet again, to a Birmingham resident. Naturally.

Throw out the scales, quit the gym, grab yourself that bar of chocolate and brace yourself for what I am about to tell you:

YOU can look perfect in under an hour!

Yes really! Gain that perfect hourglass figure, erase those wrinkles, plump up your lips.... you can do it all in less than one hour and all from the comfort of your own home! How? Well, watch this:

Hey, I only said "look" perfect. I never said actually become perfect, did I?

So... a belated Happy New year and I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas!
I know I know, I've neglected you a little of late. What can I say? A diva has to party! And then she has to catch up on her sleep. And THEN, on realisation that over the past two and a half years she's lost that perfect little toned, tight figure she worked so darn hard to get, and put on two and a half stone, she has to get back into that gym and run, jump, pump, lift, pull, stretch and crunch herself until she nearly collapses in an attempt to kick start her way to getting it back. Four days in and I'm in so much butt pain I'm walking like the tin man and bending like a 90 year old. Oh well.

So, excuses aside, and also to take my mind off the physical aches I'm currently sat on, I think it's time I shared my fabulous Selfridges experience with you just before Christmas.

There's a new rock star in town, but it's one with a difference. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to LaLa Rocks.

OK, so LaLa Rocks is not an actual rockstar (great name if it was though, don't you think?). LaLa Rocks is a brand new jewellery line created by Birmingham's very own business-woman Carla Hancox. Carla, like I'm sure many of you out there, began making a few bracelets for herself. Friends soon began asking carla to make them some, and from there, the demand for her bracelets became so much she decided to turn it into a business. Fabulous!

We all have our cravings and vices. In solid form mine is chocolate and in liquid form it is wine - only last night, having found my fridge bare after a 6 1/2 mile run, I was hit with a sugar rush and headed straight to the Pick 'n' Mix in Tesco (healthy dinner, right?) before heading out for a few glasses of wine with my girls. Sadly, both of these can fall into the category; a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. However, there is a new way of craving that promises to help you actually LOSE pounds! I kid you not! Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to...[drum-roll]

FASHINY

Who'd have thought that Bertie Bassett - our liquorice flavoured friend - could have been an icon for the 2012 Olympics? What do I mean? Well, take a look:

Either the artist must have been eating them at the time, or he's after a few freebies (joke). Either way, he got it right - they're British born and bred. I wonder if we'll start seeing multicoloured stripes and colour blocking on the catwalks again just in time for the games to start...

Take a look at the rest of the newly unveiled Olympics posters here.

They promised us the party of the year, and ladies and gentlemen, boy did they deliver. Who am I talking about? Why, Harvey Nichols of course my darlings - it was their 10th anniversary of being at home in our fair city you see; Who else in Birmingham could pull in Alexandra Burke, Nikki Sanderson, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, 'The Only Way Is Essex's Joey Essex, Cara and Billi, Layla Monoochehri and Danielle Lloyd (who, it just so happens, once upon a time endorsed a wine brand, let us film her in Birmingham, said the wrong thing and caused her PR team to panic - media training my lovelies, media training - we will publish your mistakes remember)?

As ridiculous as this blog post may sound, you'll soon get what I mean - trust me!

(This is me mid-tint. It almost looks like surgery! Luckily, it's not - that's for a few years down the line!!)

On Saturday, whilst nursing my slight wine induced hangover from the ball I went to the night before, I was invited down to Solace Spa in Birmingham. Sadly the plan wasn't to have a massage, although this was probably for the best - having returned home at 3.30am and then been up at 9.30 to go and present my hospital radio show I think I would, by then, have fallen alseep. Instead, I went along with a friend of mine for an eyelash tint. Now, having very dark hair and subsequently eyelashes already, I was a little dubious as to whether the outcome would make any difference or not. As it happens it did - it looked a little like a light coating of mascara and will apparently last up to a month... perfect for brightening my deathly face in the early morning gym sessions I plan to get back into the habit of doing! Although should this take me much longer to write and post then tomorrow's might not happen - good start!

So I'm finally updating you on what I should have updated you on a week ago; Adee Phelan's salon launch. And oh baby, was that a launch. My highlight was... well, I'll tell you that later.

Promising to be filled with celebs and "A-listers", I have to admit I was dubious; aside from myself being in attendance of course (darlings, it's only a matter of time before I am enlisted), I expected the usual Brummie media crowd/luvvies (delete as appropriate) that this sort of event attracts, I expected to see councillor Mike Whitby, I expected to see a couple of Birmingham's presenters and newsreaders from ITV central and the BBC... I secretly hoped that since Adee is the creative shears behind many a haircut of Mr David Beckham (sigh) we might get a special guest appearance from him... no such luck. However, despite no super "A-lister" such as the delightful Mr Beckham, I was pleasantly surprised by a plethora of Corrie stars! Although it might have been a little better if I was a Coronation Street fan; as it happens I don't watch it.

So with the latest celeb body revelation turning out to be that of Jodie Marsh and her bodybuilder's physique, I got to wondering what a Diva might look like should she masculine up and stick melons on her chest (no offence, Jode).

What do you think my lovelies... a bit more facial fake tan maybe?
