The Facial Radiance Intensive Peel from First Aid Beauty has flown straight into my shortlist of fast-working, effective face masks. It's a clay-based acid peel that brightens, smooths and gives an instant glow - as well giving the feeling that your old face has been...
News: my trusty Snuzpod is going to be a cosy sleeping place for a fourth newborn baby! No, I'm not pregnant again, merely loaning out one of the best baby gadgets that money can buy. Can a crib be called a gadget? I think it can, when it does something above and...
This is the first of three posts that I'm writing in collaboration with Huggies Pure Wipes. A while ago, I started talking with Huggies about some ideas for features about nappy changing and I realised that it wasn't a topic I had covered before. There are some...
If you're reading this post thinking that I'm about to reveal five one-off occurrences that made me feel really guilty - sort of like a confessional - then think again. This isn't a "come clean" session that will absolve me of my past behaviour and allow me to...
Forgive the radio silence: I've been moving. I feel as though I've said that a lot over the last few years, but I'm hoping that this will be the last time. Actually, I can tell you that it will be the last time - there's no way I'm moving again. For a start, I'm in my...
This will be the quickest baby update I've ever done because I have no internet and my 4G is - to put it mildly - temperamental. You should see me - I'm huddled over my laptop beneath a window in the kitchen, sitting on an IKEA kid's chair, swearing every time my...
I've never been hugely fond of florals when it comes to clothing - there's always the risk that you'll look as though you've dressed yourself in a pair of curtains, when what you were really aiming for was something bohemian and quirky. For this reason, floral items...
Are we still in Autumn? It feels decidedly wintery, but I'm hoping that I can still just about slot in a warm, russety-toned makeup video before everyone starts wrapping up in faux-fur stoles and sprinkling their faces with golden glitter. Here's what I've been using...
Another great moisturiser from La Roche-Posay (I already really rate the Toleriane Fluid for very light, effective hydration): the Toleriane Ultra Overnight Care. This is an intensely soothing, comfortable night cream that feels very rich but doesn't leave any...
Warehouse have some amazing sequinned dresses* in store at the moment. Flattering, relatively inexpensive party dresses to see you through the festive season. Now I know that sequins are ten a penny in the run-up to Christmas, but I felt that the Warehouse ones...
I have finally moved Baby Ted into his own room, which means that I been able reclaim my old bedtime routine. When there's a baby in the bedroom, it's inadvisable to turn a light on after they've fallen asleep, so activities such as reading a book - or searching for...
I did a bit of a mammoth spend in GAP the other week, when I bought Angelica's "Wizard Coat" (see here). I seem to be doing lots of kids' clothes shopping at the moment because I never seem to have enough of anything - vests, pyjama bottoms, cardigans. It only takes...
