Mineral make-up: a simply great idea

Mineral make-up, a new kind of foundation, is changing the face of the nation, says Emma Hill.

There's rather a buzz around foundation at the moment. Sales soared earlier this year by 15 per cent according to L'Oréal, and a new kind is causing a bit of a stir – mineral foundation.

At this stage I'm not ready to go professional, but who knows it might be an option one day as a side job.

Just back from a bike ride, so am feeling the endorphins or whatever it is that make you feel great after exercise.

Stopped down at the Swan River and noticed that I could see around 40 black swans sitting in the shallows. I can remember not that long ago that you never saw a black swan on the Swan River. So great to see them return in good numbers.

These shots aren't from today, but were taken in the same area, the South Perth foreshore.

Number one son was sitting on my lap on the weekend.

He looked up at me and sad `Dad, what is that red dot thing on your nose ?'

As much as I didn't really want to explain it to a 3 year old, I did manage to say that it was just a pimple.

Hopefully I did it calmly enough to not make him think it was, like, you know an issue for me
