Imogen's World Girl In The Know - MSN Life & Style Blogger

The solution comes in two words: Simon Freedman.

 

Simon is the best osteopath in Britian. No quackery here. The man is straight talking, you go AND HE SORTS THE PROBLEM OUT!

 

Simon has got my neck moving and my back working in a limited number of sessions and now he's sorting out my knees. Where other physios have quoted me hundreds of pounds and say it'll take months, he says he can make my knees pain free in 3-5 appointments.

 

So, if no one else can help, it's time to call in the A Team... give him a call!

It's hot. I'm not going to complain about the blue skies, oh no, just merely point out that going outside shopping and risking sun burn/stroke is a bit silly when you can go online.

 

Check out lookfantastic.com, which does the most delicious, heavenly beauty products and will SEND THEM TO YOUR DOOR. But what about the sales you cry? Look no further than koodos.com, theoutnet.com and netaporter.com, which all have discounted goods on their sites at the moment and again - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR HOUSE.

 

Which means you can look cool, calm and collected during the heatwave. Unless you turn on the telly and watch Federer and Murray, both of whom get me hot under the collar for rather different reasons!!!

Right, it's utterly gorgeous weather and all you want to do is settle down with the Ben & Jerry's.

 

The problem is, Phish Food is incompatible with the Bikini Body.

 

The answer, for those lucky lactose eaters amongst you, are FAB bars (79 calories) and frozen yoghurt (not very many calories as long as you leave off the toppings). Finally the UK is catching up with America on the frozen yoghurt phenomenon. On the other side of the pond this is led by Tasti-D-Lite, although nothing will ever be as good or as low in calories as the chocolate "American Glace" at the Great American Health Bar on NY's 57th Street. Worth getting a lactose induced tummy ache for!

 

First up "fro yo" wise in the UK is Snog, which is opening up all over the place at the moment. Bag yourself a Prince if you're a girl at the South Ken one... and a Prince if you're a boy at the Soho branch!!! Next up is Yuforia, swiftly followed by "I Can't Believe It's Not Yoghurt" (or the hideous prices) in London's Leicester Square. Itsu, the Japanese take-away is also selling this guilt free way to cool down.

 

Enjoy...

For so many generations, Michael Jackson's music will have defined, in part at least, their childhoods. My Dad gave me one of his old record players on which I used to play the Thriller LP endlessly. Bad got played time and time again on my Sony walkman.

 

For whatever his personal faults, Jackson leaves behind one of the great music legacies of our time. For his personal achievments, he leaves behind 3 children, who will wake up today feeling very lost, very confused and very alone.

 

I remember seeing an interview with Sean Lennon, where he said he couldn't listen to his father's music for years because it would always make him cry. We can only hope that within all the madness that will no doubt now ensue, that there is someone driven by only pure and kind motives who will be there to mop up Jackson's childrens' tears over the next few years.

At some point I should stop investing in shoes and start buying something grown up, like art. This was especially brought into focus last night, when I went to Charlie Barton's latest exhibition. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of man landing on the moon, Charlie's done the most extraordinary series of paintings of moons.

 

Her work combines colour, texture and movement - expressive landscapes that emanate power and atmosphere. Celebs who've bought the pieces include Sir Patrick Moore... Worth checking out her website and the exhibition at The @venue, 7-9 St James St, SW1, as the oils and especially the limited edition prints are really affordable but will make a priceless addition to your home.
