Another month, another week in my life. I almost typed A Leek in my Wife, then! Ha, that would be a good spin-off. Although, perhaps a bit graphic. Maybe a leak in my wife would be more easily digestible. Whatever, I don't even have a wife. Just watch the bloody...
Breastfeeding: I Can’t Quit You (Yet)
Status update on the night-feeding/breastfeeding saga: Ted is now taking bottles. Of formula. Guzzles them right down, has a burp, looks very pleased with himself. In the end, it was simple necessity that did the job - I had to go away for work, and although I wasn't...
Weekly Christmas Shop: Men’s Gift Guide 2017
It's no secret that I find buying presents for men incredibly arduous - my Men's Gift Guide is one of the most taxing posts of the year. I think it's because the men in my life (and by that I mean Mr AMR and then male family members, I don't have multiple husbands!...
Beauty in Wonderland: Feast Your Eyes
I appear to have developed a penchant for the sort of beauty packaging that looks as though it's come straight from the set of an Alice in Wonderland film. I've become a real sucker for vintage-style perfume bottles, interesting pots, dainty tins, jars with fancy lids...
Angelica’s New Coat (If Wizards Wore Puffers)
Angelica picked this new coat herself. She liked the sparkly stars (we call it her wizard coat) and I liked the furry trim around the hood, which does seem to do quite a good job of shielding her little face when it's cold and breezy outside. GAP had 30% off...
Beauty Favourites: October 2017
I spent the majority of my allotted filming time for this October Favourites video clarting about with my hair, trying to arrange it so that I didn't look like a Cluedo character. (Miss Scarlett, if you're asking. There's something about blonde hair of a certain...
The Most Instantly Fabulous High Street Party Dress
There are some dresses that just make you feel instantly special when you wear them. In my modelling heyday, when I was shooting for magazines and clothes brands dozens of times a month, I would become quite blasé about the clothes I was putting on. Quite often, if it...
Weekly Christmas Shop: Kitschmas
Whilst browsing for a lamp shaped like a monkey (as you do) I stumbled across a brilliant page with ideas for alternative Christmas decorations. It was on Amara*, a designer interiors website that I buy home stuff from quite a lot - they do some really interesting...
Autumn Skincare with John Lewis | AD
I've filmed a lovely video with John Lewis, all about Autumn skincare and pepping up your routine by adding in little beauty treats to prepare for the colder weather. You can watch that video here but I wanted to have a run through the products, because some of them...
A Week In My Life: October 2017
Another month, another week in my life! I fear I may have gone on about being tired just a little bit too much in this one, if the comments on Youtube are anything to go by. The thing is, moaning about how tired you are is addictive, especially when you're...really...
Sunday Tittle Tattle: Gunpowder, Treason and – Turn that Bloody Phone Off!
I've been trying to watch the BBC series Gunpowder, which is the story of how Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby devised to blow up the Houses of Parliament, and stars Kit Harrington of Game of Thrones fame. Gunpowder has received many complaints from the general public...
Toddler, Baby and Me: The Nine Month Update
I genuinely thought that I would be able to kick this post off with some amazing news; the day after I wrote about Ted's persistent night-wakings, I implemented some changes and he had the most restful night he's had for months. I think that he perhaps only woke once...
