Last night (20th April 2010) I had the pleasure of accompanying on stage, two very stylish women – Triple M’s Emily Jade and well known author Rebecca Sparrow.

This Tuesday (20th April) I will be guest-speaker at the YWCA’s “Love Your Body” event. And I am very humbled to hear that this has been sold-out for quite a few weeks now!
