This page includes: The looklovely philosophy, brief autobiographies of 2patricias, plus our latest update.
Our Philiosophy at looklovely We believe in caring for ourselves. Looking lovely is a result of leading as healthy a life as possible, caring for your face, hair and body plus dressing to suit your body shape, life-style and buget. Looking lovely is about keeping active plus maintaining outside interests and contact with family and friends. It's about caring for others and giving a smile. About Us:
Pat and Tricia both write for Hub Pages. To check out our features go to: http://hubpages.com/profile/2patricias Pat is a housewife and unpaid worker. For many years she worked in local government, but when offered the opportunity of redundancy she cheerfully said goodbye to all that. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, photography, writing for Hubpages and of course shopping. She also puts her accountancy training to use in her various volunteer jobs. She has seemingly boundless enthusiasm for fashion magazines, despite her irritation that they too frequently feature skinny teenage models and are often biased towards London.
Tricia is an ex primary school teacher turned Pilates Instructor. She is also a mother and grandmother. After discovering the benefits of Pilates for herself, Tricia decided to train as an instructor. Her local Pilates classes grew in popularity, leading to a complete career change for Tricia. Her outside interests include family and friends, reading, lifelong learning, visiting the gym and swimming (or rather relaxing in the jacuzzi). '
Latest Update: Pat & Tricia survive the long cold winter  Looking back over the first three months of 2010 it feels like our biggest achievement was that we kept going through unaccustomed snow and ice. Tricia held her Pilates classes almost without exception, even though it meant trudging through the snow to the venue. Pat endured a long train journey through the snow to visit friends in Cheshire and enjoy shopping in Chester (that was brave). On one snowy day in January they were accompanied by the Wonderful Husbands to the France Show at Earls Court in London. They spent a day dreaming of summer sunshine, French cheese and wine – and enjoying a few samples. Well, the cold had to be kept at bay.
Tricia bought a bargain sewing machine and found that it was not as easy to use as her old sewing machine. She calculates that it took her 15 hours of reading the instruction book, adjusting, reading and adjusting to get the tension right so that she could begin work on new bedroom curtains. At long last, snowdrops and crocuses poked through the frosty soil to brighten our gardens. To further our joy, a card popped through Pat’s letter box announcing a Boden Clearance Sale in Brighton. The card had scarcely touched the floor before Pat was on the phone to Tricia to form an action plan involving whose car to take, where to park, what to wear, etc. On the day they arrived at the sale just after the huge queue had vanished, but also just after many desirable items had been snapped up. It was rumoured that a swarm of size 10 women had descended on the dress table like a swarm of locusts. Certainly there was nothing left that either Pat or Tricia thought desirable. However, Pat was very pleased to buy a wool cardigan for £30 and Tricia emerged with clothes for most of the children in her family, plus a summer skirt for herself. As far as Pat and Tricia can work out, Boden has clearance sales from time to time at venues across the country. It is 3 years since the previous one in Brighton. You need to be on the Boden postal mailing list in order to receive notification of a clearance sale in your area.
