Giveaway: The Great Big Hair No-verhaul

Giveaway: The Great Big Hair No-verhaul

Why is it that at the start of every new year I want a brand new hair style? A totally new cut, a completely new colour - something dramatically different. I look at my hair, the hair that has been perfectly serviceable for an entire twelve months, and - for reasons...

A Day In The Life In The Country

A Day In The Life In The Country

There's going to be a follow-up video to this video, and it's going to be called Should I Move To The Country? Because I fear that I might have made moving to the country seem like a no-brainer decision in my latest Day In The Life; I feed the chickens as the sun...

Books To Read In 2019

Books To Read In 2019

This post was supposed to be called My Favourite Books of 2018 but that title felt a bit tardy, so I've sneakily tweaked it so that everything's just a bit more relevant and exciting. I mean, why harp on about the past when you can look forward to the future? Isn't it...

A Dog, a Cat and a Brand New Bag

A Dog, a Cat and a Brand New Bag

A brand new vlog to start a brand new year and there's a brand new bag thrown in for good measure. Not literally "thrown" because it's a lovely bag and deserves a bit of respect (also the chain on it weighs a tonne and would probably make a dent in the floor as it...

Retinol Testing: Proceed With Caution

Retinol Testing: Proceed With Caution

I royally overdid it on the retinol-testing front over Christmas and New Year. Most people overdo it on the food and booze, but not me; I prefer to live life more dangerously and become the world's most idiotic guinea pig. This guinea pig went in all guns blazing -...

Life Update: Christmas Is Not A Holiday

Life Update: Christmas Is Not A Holiday

Happy New Year everyone! I wasn't supposed to be back at work until at least the 7th January (preferably the 14th) but then I remembered that my life update goes out on the third of every month and my superstitious nature won't let me bend the rules and postpone it....

Why I’m Logging Off For Christmas…

Why I’m Logging Off For Christmas…

Sorry, I know that the internet is full of people boring us with news of their phone detoxes, social media bans and internet usage culls but I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and tell you all with why I'm going completely offline for Christmas. And I can tell you...

Skincare Worth The Splurge – With Nadine Baggott

Skincare Worth The Splurge – With Nadine Baggott

Goodness me, this is a naughty one! I'm afraid those who are on the sensitive side should probably give this video with Nadine Baggott a miss - not only do we launch into an in-depth discussion about pubic hair preferences, Nadine introduces me to Scrotox. Not...

The Hotel Loofah

The Hotel Loofah

What’s this thing with loofahs in hotel bathrooms? It seems to have become a standard thing, now, to provide one along with the cotton wool pads and buds and complimentary shower cap. And sometimes there's a loofah even when all other basic commodities are...

Spit and Nipples

Spit and Nipples

Two things happened last week that require some discussion. Actually, they don’t need to be discussed at all; if anything, they are the sort of thing that a normal person absolutely would not discuss, but both events troubled me and left an (admittedly tiny) scar upon...

Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion: Bye Bye Scrubs

Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion: Bye Bye Scrubs

I'm surprised to find that I haven't ever done a full and proper review on Ameliorate's cult body treatment, the lactic acid-loaded Transforming Body Lotion. I thought I had, but if I have then I can't see it! Which wouldn't be surprising, to be honest, because I...
