Look, I've already posted this video over on my baby blog, The Uphill, but it takes me ages to do these "day in the life" videos and so I'm touting it out. It's an entire day in my life with "two under two" (New Baby Ted was just nine weeks old!) and has cameos from...
The Tan Mask: Overnight Bronze and Glow
After a run of quite serious facial tanning disasters, I have found a version that leaves a smooth and flawless tint. I was apprehensive about Charlotte Tilbury's new Overnight Bronze & Glow Mask after some of my more recent - patchy - experiences with tanners,...
Shirt Dress and Lipstick: A Quick Summer Update
I've had lots of incredibly kind comments about the dress I was wearing in my May Favourites video and I must admit to feeling quite bolstered by them. It's not that easy to find nice things to wear when you're breastfeeding, and that hurdle, coupled with your typical...
Beauty Favourites: May 2017
There's rather a summery theme to this month's beauty favourites; it feels a little early in the year to be cracking out the sunscreens and the beachy scents but we've had a run of hot days and so I've been in all-out floaty dress and flip-flop mode. Talking of beachy...
A Day In The Life: Two Under Two
I filmed this video months ago - Ted was only nine weeks old! - but forgot to edit the footage. So here it is, better late than never, a whole day in my life with "two under two". Just in case you were curious to see what I get up to when I'm left toute seule with the...
Toddler, Baby and Me: The Four Month Update
Well, we're almost at the point where I'm saying goodbye to "two under two" - Angelica is two in two weeks' time. All the twos. It has been difficult at times, having a toddler and a newborn, though not quite as bad as I had anxiously thought it might be. But I have...
Plumping, Smoothing (Non-Ridiculous) Lip Treats
Have you seen these ridiculous sheet masks for lips that seem to be all the rage? Patches of gel, or sheets of serum-infused fabric that are pressed over the lip area and left on for an "intensive treatment". I mean, each to their own and everything, but who wants to...
Hot Days, No Work and Sex in a Lay-By
I indulged in a spot of clickbaiting at the weekend. I simply couldn't resist it. Mainly because I was looking forward to the comments from people utterly incensed that I would dare use the word "sex" in a video title (disappointingly few, I must say - I obviously...
The Multipurpose Maternity Cushion
Well I have to say that the Mum and B Ergonomic Maternity Cushion from Babymoov has been a total Godsend. I used it continuously through the last trimester to get my back/legs/neck comfortable in bed and I have used it for almost every single feed since New Baby Ted...
Sunday Tittle Tattle: My Dad Wrote a Porno
I said I'd be back with more podcast recommendations and so here we are, a mere week later, with My Dad Wrote a Porno. Apologies to those who read the title of this post and spat out their tea: be assured that it's not my own Dad who has written a porno. (Oh GOD, the...
Overactive Tits, Please Calm Down…
I'm pretty sure that my breasts weren't this enthusiastic with the milk production first time around. Is it some sort of phenomenon that on the second baby they go into overdrive, squirting milk at any and every opportunity, turning on like leaky taps the minute you...
Aurelia Botanical Cream Deodorant
The current run of hot weather has provided an excellent opportunity for me to properly test some of the deodorants that I've had lined up along my bathroom shelf. I'm not usually the sweatiest of people and so it takes a very warm day for me to get a proper bit of...
