Here are my 2019 favourites for skincare and haircare, including the latest shampoo discovery that actually changes the entire feel of my hair and the skincare that'll make a proper difference to your beauty routine. I was going to do a bodycare version of this 2019...
Here begins my epic task of catching up on all of the stuff I didn't manage to post before the end of 2019, and I'm going to start with a bit of a Chanel update. Because who doesn't love a dose of double-c luxury to kick of the year? Before Christmas I was invited on...
Why is it that when I have an early wakeup call, I simply cannot get to sleep? And by the way, I'm talking early-early here, when the owls are still hooting and the foxes are still tearing open the bin bags and rooting for chicken bones. Witching hour early, 3.30am...
I've had a slightly longer break from work than anticipated; but don't worry, there's nothing sinister afoot. I'm not ill, the dog didn't die, I've not had a drastic facelift that meant I needed to hide behind bandages for a month. I was just absolutely shattered...
Earlier this year I wrote about the fact that Christmas isn't actually a holiday, not really, and especially not if you have young kids. Or any kind of dependents. Kids don't stop being kids just because it's the most wonderful time of the year. Toddlers don't give a...
Stand down, Outraged of Welwyn Garden City, I said How To Do A Glow Job not blow job! To be honest, I'm almost forty and still couldn't tell you how to do the latter that well, so the chances of me writing a post about it (or - urgh - making a video) are slim. Hohoho....
Good grief I put Elnett's Extra Strength Hairspray through its paces for these photos! Short of sitting in a sauna for an hour, I can't think of anything that would test the limits of a hairspray more. Gale force winds, driving rain, what felt like sleet at one point,...
I've always fancied being the sort of person that could throw one of those dinner parties that seemingly only exist in Ferrero Rocher commercials and magazine shoots; French farmhouse tables overflowing with flowers and flickering candles, fine linen napkins placed...

PMT has now become a major event in my life every month; for the entire week before my period I really struggle to get anything done at all. I'm confused, fuzzy and I just want to sleep. In PMT week I don't want to speak at all, I want everyone to go away and leave me...
I was going to call this post Top Faux Christmas Garlands but when I looked at the pictures it was more like a fireplace catalogue, so I've kept the title real and relevant for you. Hohoho. Fireplaces aren't all they're crack(l)ed up to be, in my opinion. It must have...
I made my first school-related Mum Error the other day when I sent Angelica wearing her uniform on something called a "mufti day". What the hell is mufti day? Granted, I should have probably Googled it instead of dismissing the mufti-themed email - thinking I have no...
