I'm about to be a total tease because Narciso Musc Oil isn't really available online, it's more of a "try and find it instore" sort of job. But wearing this for the past few weeks has reminded me how much I absolutely adore the Eau de Parfum version of Narciso and -...
Five things that will (ok, might) happen after you've given birth. Now look, I've had two c-sections and so I'm no expert on things that happen to the female form after a vaginal birth, but I've read (and heard) enough stories to know that the below occur on an almost...
When Victoria Beckham launched her eponymous makeup collection with Estee Lauder last year, the bronzer - in its ribbed leather compact - was one of my top picks. But boy was it a bronzey bronzer. Java was (is), for someone of my particular colouring, a proper "two...
I have nothing particularly profound to say this Sunday (do I ever?!) and so I thought I'd give you a little run-down of what I've been up to this week. Apart from feeding the baby, which seems to take up approximately 89% of my time, and procrastinating over whether...
I'm so impressed with Alpha-H's latest launch - I think that it really taps into the trend for bespoke skincare, but in a way that's simple and easy to understand. The Vitamin Profiling Collection* is a set of four potent serums, each featuring a different...
The new-look Colab Dry Shampoo cans have launched! Teeny-tiny mermaids, tropical palm leaves and a smart new design for the Active version too - I absolutely love them. Same brilliant product inside, but the cans have been given "new clothes". As many of you know, I...
It's always a bit of a problem to know what to wear in the early days of breastfeeding, when you're still recovering from the birth and you're basically a sodden mass of milky skin and sweaty bits of mismatched clothing. You're told that your various lady bits need to...
This is a difficult novel to write about, because I'm not sure whether I love it or absolutely detest it. Either way, it makes for interesting conversation - or would do, if anyone I knew had read it! Have you read Eileen? It grabbed my attention because it was on the...
The February Favourites, as promised; mostly beauty but then a couple of fashion finds that have cheered up my "capsule" wardrobe no end. (When I say capsule wardrobe, I mean it quite literally - I have only one pair of black leggings that don't hurt my c-section...
I tried to film my first "back to work" video this week and it was absolute chaos! (Those of you balking at the idea of me being back to work after a month, fear not: I mean the working-from-home sort of work, I'm not strapping the baby onto my front and hiking into...
It's time for the monthly update - but now there's an extra person to figure into things, "two under two", the format has changed slightly. Updates used to happen on monthly anniversaries of Angelica's birthday (17th), but now we've swapped to New Baby Ted's birthday...
I feel as though I haven't done a makeup post in ages, so here we are: a bit of springtime blush to add some fresh colour to dull, wintery faces. Two lovely peachy shades - one from Dior's Spring collection and the other a blush from YSL's permanent makeup line-up. In...
