My Infertility Story

My Infertility Story

I was reading through some old diaries the other week (actually looking for some photos of my Dad, but that's another matter) and I started to read through a few of my entries. I used to keep a daily journal - it was part of the preparation for my Masters degree - and...

Foundation Review: Clinique Even Better Glow

Foundation Review: Clinique Even Better Glow

Whilst I continue my epic deliberation over whether I like or dislike Bobbi Brown's Long Wear Weightless Foundation (even after eight weeks I simply can't make up my mind) I'm going to turn my hand to reviewing face bases that are total no-brainers. The ones I've...

The Scarlet Hotel: 2 Days Off Grid

The Scarlet Hotel: 2 Days Off Grid

Ah, two days Off Grid. And I know that I'm grossly misusing the term "off grid" here, but it sounds exciting and dramatic and you all know how I love a bit of over-dramatisation. What I mean to say, really, is 2 Days Away on Holiday, but online reviews of The Scarlet...

5 Most Used Beauty Products: March 2018

5 Most Used Beauty Products: March 2018

Ah, another delve into the secret world of my echoey bathroom for the Five Most Used products of last month. I bet you've been waiting for this one, haven't you? Who doesn't want a video of me with crazy frizz-hair, filmed from the top of a wonky tripod, with one half...

Giveaway: The Josh Wood Hair Makeover

Giveaway: The Josh Wood Hair Makeover

I know, I know - two giveaways in the space of a week! Ambassador, you are really spoiling us. If you're in the UK (sorry to all other readers, it's a boring legal restriction) then you can be in with the chance of overhauling your face (with the amazing Alpha-H...

Sunday Tittle Tattle: The Death Switch

Sunday Tittle Tattle: The Death Switch

I was going to publish this post last week, but then I realised that it was Easter Sunday and the title was inappropriately depressing. None of the post is overly cheery, I have to say; but keep going because there's a (relatively) positive end to all of this grief...

Role-Play Obsession: I Deserve An Oscar

Angelica's appetite for pretending to be other people (or making other people pretend to be other people) knows no bounds. It began with a weird Peter Rabbit/Mr McGregor role-play that I was repeatedly forced into but has steadily escalated, with new characters added...

GIVEAWAY: The All-Powerful Liquid Gold

GIVEAWAY: The All-Powerful Liquid Gold

Cult Australian skincare brand Alpha-H have extended their amazing Liquid Gold line to include an all-powerful, all-problem-tackling eye cream. Their original Liquid Gold - an acid exfoliant that champions glycolic acid as its hero ingredient - was one of the first...

Toddler, Baby and Me: The Fourteen Month Update

I think, for the first time, my self-imposed monthly update deadline may have beaten me. I do not have a single ounce of energy to type up my thoughts or think of witty things to say about poo (or the fact that the other day I got poo all over my tracksuit bottoms,...

Weekly Window Shop: Some Brilliant Best Buys

Weekly Window Shop: Some Brilliant Best Buys

I did have a Sunday Tittle Tattle scheduled for tomorrow, but it was so ridiculously depressing to read that I had to postpone it. Especially when I realised that it was in fact Easter Sunday, which should be a day of joyfulness and celebration. Who was I to post...

Beauty, Fashion and Interiors Favourites: March 2018

Beauty, Fashion and Interiors Favourites: March 2018

It's safe to say this hasn't been the best month of my life; but then again, I think I said that about February, too, and I'm not sure whether March was slightly better or ever so slightly worse. So forgive me if my mind wasn't 100% attuned to remembering things to...

The L’Occitane Beauty Easter Egg

The L’Occitane Beauty Easter Egg

The Beauty Easter Egg. Will it be the next Beauty Advent Calendar? Because those are now serious business, with limited edition advent gifts and gift-with-purchases flying off the shelves the minute they go on sale. L'Occitane's beauty egg (buy here*) is very sweet,...
