Writing my last skincare post, the one where I talk about trying to find an SPF that my Mum will wear, reminded me that I had, in fact, made rather a nice discovery when I was at her house the other weekend. I was rootling about in her bedside drawers, as you do (does...
I don't know whether you saw me mention on my Instagram page (you can follow me here if you would like to see pictures of my face, my cat, my dog and my house - it's all going on!) but I've been appearing in a brilliant Mother's Day campaign for L'Oreal...
I've temporarily dispensed with A Week In My Life in favour of A Day In The Life in the hope that the content will be easier to digest and perhaps more engaging. At some point perhaps I should try An Hour In My Life or even, if people can't stay tuned for that long, A...
I have been overwhelmed by the response to my post about grief; emails, texts, comments and messages have been popping up in their hundreds - almost thousands - with the most heart-warming words and comforting sentiments. Perhaps the most significant thing I've taken...
We're trying to choose a carpet for the living room and it's turning into the world's biggest faff, partly because I have never known another human being as indecisive as Mr AMR, who can deliberate over some minute detail for well over a month, but also because it...
This post should be on my other website, strictly speaking; it's much more concerned with family and personal life than it is with beauty or fashion or (new passion!) interiors. But these worlds necessarily cross over and I thought that a bit of a chat about work and...
I've become rather fond of a good slogan or logo on a t-shirt. It jazzes things up a bit, elevates the t-shirt from being a plain, utilitarian sort of thing to more of a considered outfit choice. Except that it isn't, of course, because it takes just the same amount...
Master of the (hair colouring) Universe, Josh Wood, has just launched a brilliant hair colour range for home use. Actually, it's more than this - the products span from root touch-up pens to colour-clarifying shampoos, from permanent dyes to special tints that can be...
These sports markers give me such horrendous PE flashbacks; the gym teacher (Miss Lawton) barking instructions at us as we stood shivering in the cold, watching her jog along in her shell suit, throwing the coloured markers down on the grass as she went. "GIRLS! This...
I was rummaging about in my office today, trying to prep for a video on a new foundation that I wanted to review, when I came across a smallish box of products, very neatly put together and stashed safely in the corner of a larger box. Obviously my curiosity was...
I'll keep the intro short here, because it's a chatty video below and I don't want to end up just typing out a sort of inaccurate, truncated transcript. So without further ado: things I've struggled with this month and things that have lifted my spirits. The Parenting...
I must stop writing these updates at the last minute - although, why change what is now such an established habit? I think that the majority of the monthly updates I've written (and I've done one a month, without fail, since July 2015) have been hurriedly typed at a...
