I’m sitting here shivering and wearing: tights, socks, tracksuit pants, t-shirt, hoodie (with hood up), scarf and even gloves. And underneath it all I am sporting two layers of newly minted fake tan – actually, there are three on my butt and thighs. Why did I bother, you might you ask. Well, it’s because I was at a shoot yesterday where we had a spray-tanner ‘body-contour’ our model. We all know it – fake tan makes you look slimmer. But it’s not until you see the before and after that you’re really sold. So our spray-tanner basically used a darker tanning solution to give our model instant abs, toned and taut thighs, and a pert little butt. It was really quite incredible - as in, who needs the gym. And seeing as my yoga teacher has just left for a three-week retreat and left me finding it very difficult to be inspired to get up at 5.30am when it’s three degrees outside, I think I may have found the way to stay in shape for the interim. Just call it sun salutations of the faux variety.

PS – running late for work … will announce winners of last week’s Be Genki comp tomorrow. Sorry!
