Treating Spots During Pregnancy

Treating Spots During Pregnancy

As I'm on a bit of a skincare-posting roll, here's the last of my pregnancy posts that has been lingering in my drafts folder. Mainly because a few of these products have been featured elsewhere, and I didn't want to repeat myself... But it's good to have all of my...

Current Skincare Routine: Spring 2017

Current Skincare Routine: Spring 2017

I've updated my skincare routine; firstly because we're moving into the warmer months and there's the inevitable extra sun exposure, and secondly because I'm no longer pregnant and my skin is far less sensitive. I've started to add stronger and more active products...

Skincare for New Mums (or Dads, let's not discriminate) - but the sorts of products I discuss, here, are suitable for virtually every skin type. Knackered skin, stressed skin, sensitive skin, dull skin - basically the sort of skin that you start to get when you become...

Kypris Moonlight Catalyst Review

Kypris Moonlight Catalyst Review

I mentioned the Kypris Moonlight Catalyst in my post about powerful, pregnancy-safe beauty products, but since then I've given it an even more thorough testing and I must say that the results are very convincing. It's a lightweight, watery serum (nothing like the...

Nomi Newborn Highchair Review

If you're after the world's most luxuriously stylish highchair then this - possibly - is it. The Nomi highchair has more in common with a modern sculpture than a piece of functional baby equipment, but it's by no means a matter of style over substance - this chair is...

Baby Bjorn Highchair Review

I've been meaning to get started on my baby equipment reviews for months and months, now - I have about seventeen-thousand double pushchairs to test, loads of car seats and various cots, chairs and gadgets. All of which are stacked in the hallway of my house or stowed...

Guerlain Super Aqua Serum Review

Guerlain Super Aqua Serum Review

Hydrating serums seem to have become a non-negotiable part of my skincare routine. I like the intense hit of moisture that they provide, I like that they are (almost always) lightweight and fresh feeling and quick to apply, I like that they can plump and smooth the...

Toddler, Baby and Me: The Two Month Update

I'm writing this in a snatched bit of time before bed; New Baby Ted has dropped off unexpectedly early and so I've been racing through a long list of admin so that I can go to sleep with a clear mind! So let's not spend too long on the pleasantries and cut straight to...

Beauty Favourites: March 2017

Beauty Favourites: March 2017

Back to the beauty favourites - a good mix of body, hair, skincare and makeup this month. Oh, and some panty liners thrown in for good measure. I deliberated for ages (ten minutes) over whether to include panty liners - they're not exactly the most glamorous of items...

Things I’d Forgotten About Newborns

I feel as though I should add a disclaimer to the start of this post, because so many people have written to me  recently saying things along the lines of  "oh my God, I'm so worried about giving birth/having a newborn/getting pregnant now that I've read your posts!"...

Foundation Review: Chanel Le Teint Ultra Tenue

Foundation Review: Chanel Le Teint Ultra Tenue

I feel as though Chanel are always going to be on a bit of a losing streak with me, when it comes to bringing out new foundations. And that's not because they're bringing out bad foundations (Chanel do excellent face bases); it's because I've already found perfection...
