There are few things more annoying, in terms of makeup application, than overdoing your bronzer. Correcting it can lead to a whole world of other frustrations, mainly because bronzer tends to be one of the very last things you apply and so taking it off means...
Well here I am, in the beautiful city of Bath, getting back into the swing of things with work and generally trying to pull life back onto an even keel. (Life update here, in case you need it.) I've been rather slack on the whole work front, I'm afraid - I spend quite...
Firstly, thank you so very much for all of the wonderful comments on last Sunday's post - I was feeling so overwhelmed and low and they really bolstered my confidence and boosted my spirits! (Catch up on that post here, if you're wondering what an earth I'm talking...
I've tried a lot of these "relaxing" bath oils now - mainly due to the fact that I seem to live in a permanent state of self-induced life-stress - and I can tell you that the Deep Relax from Aromatherapy Associates is one of the very best. I seem have two functional...
We've moved house. Actually, we've more than moved house; we've moved halfway across the country, to the beautiful city of Bath. There's a long-ish story behind this perhaps rather surprising turn of events, but I'll precis it for you, because it's an arduous and very...
Imagine how fast my heart was beating when I received this press pack from Chanel - I honestly thought that I had been sent a special travel diary, complete with cute little double-c sticky page markers and lovely postcard inserts. After my eye-rolling over The...

Applying the Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel Mask from Peter Thomas Roth is like having my face smothered in glorious, gelatinous Turkish Delight. There are few things I can think of, at this particular moment, that would be as high up on the sexiness scale as...
I'm still keeping myself amused with the bobbly-shafted Wonderball waver from Lee Stafford. Not in the biblical sense - let's keep things clean! - but it has been presenting me with plenty of opportunity for a bit of immature banter. "Have you felt my cool-touch...
I'm partial to a bit of brown mascara for daytime makeup looks; often jet-black can look a little bold and stark, especially if I'm trying to keep things low-key. There's nothing wrong with bold, of course, and if you want your lashes to properly stand out then black...
I've been doing a lot of soul-searching recently. Things have been hectic and somewhat stressful in the AMR household and I have been forced to meditate upon profound personal questions. (See photograph above for a visual indication of what I look like when I ask...
I've had so many comments about this photograph - it was just a little picture for my lookbook (see full post here), but the pale beige bag and the soft golden details seem to have won a few hearts! I really like gold against my skin tone, it just feels very warm and...
