One of my favorite beauty products is Vincent Longo Water Canvas creamy blush. I have it in every color and I've been using it for 5 years and that's all I put on when I leave the house. It looks so natural I just put a little bit on my cheeks to give them some color.

In Scotland over many years we have cultivated through our justice system what I hope can be described as a 'culture of compassion.'

I like England more than I did when I left. It's become a bit of a better country in the last ten years in the attitude of it. A bit more Americanized which is both good and bad. At least when you order a cup of coffee they don't give you a hard time.
