Roxanne, my colleague at work, is often teased for being a pink princess due to the collection of pink products on her desk. While Rox likes it shocking, salmon, rose and fuschia, I'm all about aubergine, amethyst, lilac and plum. I am a purple girl. My love for the colour extends to my bedroom, to my wardrobe and now, to my nails, thanks to The Organic Pharmacy's Violet Organic Glam Nail Polish. 

A polish free from DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde, the Violet Organic Glam offers an intense, vibrant and long lasting colour, which is both chip resistant and durable. Its fast-drying formula provides a high gloss, flawless and professional finish without compromise. Sunday afternoons are best spent by having a pampering session; a home mani and pedi in my favourite colour has made me one happy girlie.

On Monday morning, the battle for Princess P is on. Purple was the luxury dye of the middle ages, expensive and elegant, it was worn only by royalty and the wealthy. Thus, at 9.33am, I am in no doubt that I will be crowned Princess Purple.

For those of us wanting to get our feet ready to bare for those new flip flops and wedges in this sudden sunny spell, but are a bit short of cash for a professional pedicure, fear not as there are plenty of budget-friendly products out there to help out.

First scrub your feet with an exfoliant like Champneys Spa Treatment Foot Scrub to get rid of any dry skin. Then massage your feet with CCS Foot Care Cream morning and night to ensure they stay moistured and smooth.

For those troublesome cracked heels, apply CCS Heel balm which works in just three days. Then once you have clipped your toe nails in a straight line to ensure no ingrown toe nails, apply a base coat to prevent staining and finally apply a pretty polish to your toes.

As its summer, be brave and go for a bright colour like one of the new shades from Collection 2000 like Tutti Fruity (coral) or Bongo Beat (turquoise)
