The Twitter phenomenon is nothing new to many people, but it seems whenever the *sigh* mainstream media pick up on something, it somehow becomes this huge debate, and is greeted with the kind of fervour Facebook incited about two years after it had actually launched. Oh well. Still, there's no denying Twitter does make the day pass a little more enjoyably, even if you're only being alerted to your colleague's choice of sandwich spread.
Well I'm on Twitter and tend to update fairly regularly, but who else is worthy enough to make you hit the Follow button? There are so many great bloggers in the Twitter-sphere, but here are my Top Ten for you to enjoy.

We all expect to to be rather spotty in our teens, what with hormones flooding our body and oily skin par for the course, but I never thought I'd still be complaining about spots in my twenties.
Welcome to twacne, the twenties skincare problem (coined by me as well!). The bad skin that we get in this decade isn't due to the same stresses as when we were younger, so if you invest too heavily in Clearasil you'll actually damage the skin as it isn't just oiliness that's the problem.

It was full of testosterone and sweat and seemed like a really horrible environment, but times have moved on since then, as have the variety of gyms on offer with everything from women only gyms to themed ones available.

Jog through the morning run rather easily. I can now run all way up hill when before huffed and puffed and had to walk bits. I must be improving as I don't even wince at breakfasts measly potion size, just tuck in and swill down fruit tea to tackle hunger pangs.

Lordy is it day 5 already? The early morning runs are starting to feel almost natural and the majority of stiffness has left my joints. I can't believe I'll be gone in two days- what will I do without rules, regulations and meals that are served to me at set times?

In thelast couple of days we've heard info on the Dame Edna range for MAC and their Hello Kitty mashup.
