The title of this video is totally self-explanatory; there's really not much I can add. It's another Day In The Life video, filmed a few weeks ago, and I think I look as though I'm slightly more on top of things than in the last one! (You can watch the previous Day In...
Official Apology to Mr AMR
Mr AMR has taken umbrage at the way he was depicted in yesterday's post about weather apps. He's grumbling away from his corner of the sofa and demanding I re-word it. Because apparently, he's always said, and I quote, "the BBC app was good when it was served by the...
Sunday Tittle Tattle: My Riveting Experiment
Slightly misleading title, depending on how you take it; My Riveting Experiment is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a stupid little project I've had on the go this week regarding weather apps. I haven't been pinning together sheets of metal with actual rivets, nor have...
The Easiest Smokey Eye Ever…
In this video I show you the easiest smokey eye ever. I realise that's quite a claim, but I honestly can't see how an eye look could be any simpler than this: you draw on the eye crayon (it even uses a crayon, for Pete's sake!) and then smudge it out with a brush. It...
Surviving Two Under Two
I have officially survived having "two under two". For new readers, I had a new baby (Ted) nineteen months after having my first baby (Angelica) and so, for the past few months, (five to be exact), I've had two children under the age of two. I didn't even know that...
Les Sahariennes: The Ultimate Bronzer Just Got Better
I love the existing YSL Les Sahariennes Bronzing Stones bronzers in their sleek compacts, but this new collector's palette is just something else! You may have missed last year's post on Les Sahariennes and so I'll do a brief recap: the YSL Bronzing Stones are powder...
Snails In My Hair
It's true what they say: never work with children or animals. And never try to do anything - work or otherwise - when it's hot and tempers (as well as temperatures) are high. All I wanted was a nice picture of myself in my new summery frock, something to make me feel...
Sunday Tittle Tattle: Crying Over Spilt Bubbles
Why is it (and this is a rhetorical question, so don't feel the need to reply) that I can pour half a bottle of washing up liquid into a bubble machine, which is specifically designed to make bubbles, and no bubbles come out, yet I can knock a tube of "non-foaming"...
Find Your Perfect Sunscreen
A gentle reminder, now that we are moving into Summer Proper with its pub garden drinking sessions and impromptu al fresco lunches, to use a sunscreen. Whether you usually go in for a water resistant, pile-it-on-thick SPF 50 or something a little less robust, make...
Mum, Toddler and Baby Favourites: May 2017
I've been doing a "monthly favourites" feature on A Model Recommends for years and years - it's usually solely beauty products, but now and then a book creeps in, or a pair of shoes or something random. Recently I've found myself wanting to talk about more baby and...
Anne Sémonin: Luxury Made-to-Measure Skincare | AD
After posting about the amazing results I had with Anne Sémonin's Miracle Eye Contour Anti-Wrinkle Cream (see here - the fine lines around my eyes were almost totally erased) the lovely people at the brand asked me whether I might like to try a few more things from...
Cleansing Treat: Darphin’s Aromatic Balm with Rosewood
Welcome to one of my skincare guilty pleasures: the Aromatic Cleansing Balm with Rosewood from Darphin. This little glass jar contains the silkiest, most delectable of balmy cleansers - I've been trying for months to think of something comparable, in terms of texture,...
