Remember Dove’s “ground-breaking” Campaign for Real Beauty nonsense and their “Onslaught” video? And the fact that they are owned by Unilever who also own “Fair & Lovely” skin lightening cream sold in India? Have a look at this old post to see more on Fair & Lovely.

It’s cold and misty outside today, we’re just back from a walk, I’m NAK (cool-speak for Nursing at Keyboard) and Littlepixie has fallen asleep so now I’m trapped! Luckily Mr. HPP has arrived in with a bowl of steaming hot soup for me (and the recipe so I can share it with all of you). [...]
