I have something to add to the other week's rant about bathroom fittings that aren't fit for purpose - something that winds me up no end. And that is (drum roll please): hot and cold taps that have been put on the wrong way around. So the cold tap, marked "C", runs...
I did some exercise yesterday and thus ended the fitness dry spell I've been enjoying for well over half a decade. I can account for around three years of that dry spell (pregnancy, new baby, pregnancy, new baby) but I'm not quite sure what I was doing for the years...
It's the 3rd of the month, which means life update day. It has been published on the 3rd of every month for well over a year - I changed it to the 3rd when Ted was born (on - you've guessed it - the 3rd!) and before that it was on the 17th, which was the day of the...
I'm still very much undecided as to whether holidays abroad with babies and toddlers are a good idea. There are so many considerations, so many logistical problems and non-relaxing hurdles to jump over. Trying to get through airport security with two cartons of milk...
In a Monthly Favourites first, I have included something that only appeared on the scene a few minutes before I started filming. In fact, when I think about it properly, it shouldn't even be in the June Favourites because I got it in July! Oh well, let's not split...
This post was going to be called Alternative Chandeliers, but it sounded so unbelievably wanky that I had to change it. I'm not sure that "statement lights" is that much better, but hopefully you'll know what I'm getting at with this episode of the Weekly Window Shop;...
The other week I stayed overnight at a friend's house and made the mistake, the following morning, of applying the world's richest, stickiest night cream to my face and neck. I'm not going to say who makes it, because I used it at the wrong time of day and had I used...
I had such an overwhelming response to my video on infertility a couple of months ago; so many people emailed me and left comments talking about their own experiences. It's an incredibly difficult and delicate subject to broach, really, because it's not something that...
There was a news story the other week that horrified me to such a degree that I almost sealed up all of the windows of my house, never to be opened again. As far as news stories go, it wasn't even so bad; compared to the mass-murders, government-sanctioned violences...
Well it's been a while, hasn't it? I promised a whole slew of foundation reviews on a very regular basis and there hasn't been one since Clinique's Even Better Glow, which was months ago. It was also, admittedly, a hard face base to follow and I didn't really want to...
This go-faster stripes on trousers trend is one trend I can get behind, unlike backless things, "cold shoulders" and anything cropped). And it can be almost any sort of stripe; wide bands of colour, thin white piping, even the triple Stripes de Adidas are all the rage...
Please examine Exhibit A above, which is a pretty bog-standard sink. Traditional - some might say boring - in style, but infinitely useful for holding water, which is its primary purpose, or for merely providing a temporary receptacle for water should you find...
