Long time, no see …

So yes, I’m embarrassed at not writing, and simultaneously far too embarrassed about it to actually write something to combat the initial embarrassment of not writing. My head, it’s a complicated place, at times. It’s not so much that there has been nothing going on, rather the exact opposite; for example, if I started this update simply by listing only the things that have happened […]

Yorkshire Tea Biscuit Brew: A love letter.

My name is Get Lippie, I am a tea-soaked disaster magnet*, a cack-handed muppet, a recovering parosmic and a Yorkshire Tea Biscuit Brew addict.  Recently, I wrote a love letter about Biscuit Brew, then did the unthinkable.  I sent it to them. Then they made me cry. Again. Let me explain: A couple of months ago, Biscuit Brew became impossible to find in shops.  I […]

Transition

There’s a theory that change actually starts with an ending rather than a beginning …

It stopped being fun …

… and so I was done. Urgh, blogging. So over, isn’t it? Let’s face it, when bloggers started rebranding as Instagram “influencers”, and the quality of the writing started being ignored (by both brands and audiences) in favour of amiable skinny poppets with blandly pretty faces, who recycle press releases instead of having actual opinions, then my place in the “blogosphere” (do not even get […]

And all I have to say to that is: Take your stupid jade eggs, and your fines for medically misleading claims, and do just fuck off, dear.

Get Lippie at the Royal Society of Medicine

I have, somewhat by accident, done a lot of public speaking about my medical condition in the months whilst I’ve not been blogging regularly.  I’ve enjoyed it, too!  Well, some of it  … Having been featured on BBC2’s “Incredible Medicine” (which will be shown in the US as “The Most Extraordinary People in the World” [ha!] at some point) during March, and then unexpectedly turning […]

SLiNK Magazine is out now!

Posts are thin on the ground this week, I know, but normal service will be resumed shortly, I promise. If you’ve missed me at all  in the meantime (and if not, WHY NOT, eh? Eh?) then you can read the latest issue of SLiNK Magazine, which also happens to be my first full issue as beauty editor!  I’m super-excited about it (totes!) and hope you will […]

News: She Said Beauty

I said last week that I’d had lots of good blogging news lately, and I’m doling it out to you in dribs and drabs at the moment, sorry about that – but it’s all worth waiting for, I promise! Can’t wait to tell you what’s happening next week …  but this week’s news is that I’m delighted to announce that I’ve just joined the blogging […]
