The last of my pregnancy skincare posts, now - I've safely delivered Baby Number Two (a gorgeous boy) and so am no longer pregnant, and I just wanted to get these features out there before they became completely outdated and irrelevant! You can read my post on safe...
Have you been watching Taboo on BBC1? Oh my lord. It's very good - very good. It's sort of a cross between an incredibly dark and violent Dickens story and something bleak and hopeless and beautiful, like, I don't know, The Piano. The art direction is amazing, the...
Atkinsons' Love In Idleness is such a romantic, beautifully feminine fragrance - I mentioned this in my Valentine's Day post as a springtime alternative to the more predictable rose scents, but it's good for all-year-round-wearing, really, so long as you like your...
OK this isn't my birth story, obviously - if I was reporting on my own birth it would be just odd. I don't remember any of it. Really the title should be My Story of The Birth, or something, but that sounds weird... Anyway, if you're still reading (forgive the...
I said that I'd get back to you with my verdict on the Glowtion Day Dew from Pixi and here it is. I think, if I remember rightly, that I was pitching it as an alternative to Estée Lauder's Wake Up Balm (review here) - a glow-giving skin-plumper that, on dull and...
I went on a bit of a trainer-buying spree this week, if two pairs could count as a "spree". It all started when Adidas Originals and Mini Rodini sent Baby Angelica some teeny Primeknit Stan Smiths (along with the most magnificent tracksuit - see post here). She was...
Possibly my best post-partum discovery so far: an app called Ask the Midwife. Strictly speaking it's not a post-partum discovery, as I was told about it a month or so ago by an app developer I've been conversing with, but I've used it a few times since New Baby's...
Travelling light? Here are my top five most-used space-saving baby things. You're welcome. The Yoyo Pushchair, recently reviewed here, if you want to read more about it. Folds down so small you can fit it in an overhead aeroplane locker and is great if you have a...
Oh, Hourglass: everything you touch, makeup-wise, seems to turn to gold. Or at least a very chic, subtly-skin-illuminating, non-glittery version of gold. Cosmetics brand Hourglass are becoming synonymous with the megawatt glow we all strive for in order to make...
I mentioned the (really quite excellent) cleanser from this new range in my January Favourites video, but the entire Advanced Skincare Collection from The White Company deserves a proper shout-out here on the website. It's very good indeed. In true "White Company"...
I thought I'd write a little about my c-section recovery, at least for the first week. I've had loads of people asking me questions about it, some who are booked in for caesarean sections themselves and want to be prepared! I'm always a bit wary when people ask me...
Hurrah! Baby Number Two (or "New Baby", as he is known, until we can decide on a name) has arrived. I don't know whether you follow my Mum & Baby blog, The Uphill, but you can find a slightly more detailed announcement over there. All of us are doing very well,...
