Oh, the shame, the shame: for the first time ever I'm having to postpone my life update and not do it on exactly the right day. (Third of the month.) I'm hoping that the heavens won't fall in or that we won't be sent a plague of poisonous frogs, because I'm very...
I'm toying with the idea of bringing my Favourites back. It's like bringing sexy back (Justin Timberland reference, because I'm down with the kids), except that it's videos with really good beauty products in, rather than a sultry man in a sharp suit singing about...
It might seem as though I'm a little bit absent at the moment - on here, on Instagram, on Youtube, on Twitter, if anyone actually still uses Twitter - and that's not because I've been out in the garden, basking in the sun. It's because I have my head down trying to...
I'm supposed to be concentrating on getting my app launched (The Night Feed, it's almost finished!) but I couldn't let a quick review of this new SPF from Elizabeth Arden slip through the net. Because Great 8 Eight Hour Daily Defense Moisturiser SPF35 is absurdly...
Question: is a part of a building still called an extension if there was something there before it? I've been mulling this over because I've been automatically referring to our new dining room as an extension but is it? We've demolished one thing (a weird,...
Since having babies my bodycare regime has dwindled down to the absolute necessities; hacking through my plantations of leg hair once a month and making sure that my shins, which have a tendency to be as dry and crackled as ancient treasure maps, are regularly...
The sun is out: catch it while you can because it's probably for a limited time only. Not like last year, aka The Best Summer In Living History. (At least for those of us born after 1976. Those who were around for 1976 do like to harp on about how that was the best...
I'll start this post with a bit of an emergency bargain announcement, because it might not be around for long and you'll kick yourselves if you miss it. The Rodial Airbrush, an amazing luxury foundation brush with a dome-shaped head and firm, densely-packed bristles...
It fills me with absolute beauty joy when I find an affordable face base that behaves like a much pricier one, so I'm going to plough straight on in with my review of the Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation. I was going to do a comparison post and review it...
A fleeting break from tradition with this life update because I'm going to be talking mostly about me. My favourite subject. (Joke: I hate talking about myself unless I've had too much wine. In fact, I tend to stop people in their tracks when they try to ask me what I...
Just a quick one (ooh err!): last week I took a lot of fashion pictures for Instagram Stories, loved them all, realised they were kind of wasted on a platform that makes things disappear forever after a mere twenty-four hours and decided to post them on here so that...
Here's a "home haul" video, which I believe is the correct down-with-the-kids-speak for Things I've Been Buying For The House. Which could also be called Ruth's Neverending Stream of Parcel Deliveries, or even Ruth's Husband's Ultimate Source of Discontent, because he...
