Imagine running through a train station because you need a wee. Let's say it's Euston station in London, for argument's sake, because if you get off at the far platform it's about seven miles to the loos. Anyway, you've been on the train for two hours and the loo was...
Sunday Tittle Tattle: Total Demotivation
I'm not sure it was the best way to start my year, saying "b*llocks to resolutions". I suppose I was trying to give myself a break, not be so hard on myself - I was attempting to put a stop to the continuous "must do better" voice inside my head that manages to...
The Colony Grill Room: Laid-Back Luxury Lunching
I think - and I say this tentatively because there are so many beautiful hotels and brilliant restaurants in London - but I think that The Beaumont Hotel and its restaurant, The Colony Grill Room, might just have sailed up to the top of my recommendations list. I...
Estee Lauder Wake Up Balm: The All-Round One-Step Face-Fixer
Yes, Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme + Global Anti-Aging Wake Up Balm, you have permission to get aboard my face. And stay there. I have to admit I was sceptical about you (you're not a makeup product - how much "waking up" can you truly perform on my...
The Pregnancy Diaries: 34 Weeks
OK, let's take a look at what's been happening with the old bod for the last few weeks. Because man have I been tired. I don't remember being quite this physically exhausted last time at this stage - and I'm not talking about that hangover-style fatigue that plagues...
Sunday Tittle Tattle: B*llocks To Resolutions
I was all set to write one of those slightly twee resolutions posts that are almost obligatory every New Year and then I thought to myself, are you completely MAD, woman? You don't even have time to wash your hair, half the time - what kind of improvements to yourself...
My Top Five New Mum Essentials
Right, I've covered my top five newborn baby essentials (read that post here) but what about stuff for new Mums? Here are the things I found incredibly useful and/or wish I'd had from the very start. Dressing Gown. Why, oh why, oh why did I not have a nice dressing...
December Favourites
This video wasn't supposed to go up until Sunday, but something odd and enthusiastic happened with my Youtube scheduling, so here it is: the December favourites. I spend almost the entire video wearing hair rollers, which is a bit weird, but there are some real beauty...
Foundation Review: Chanel Sublimage Le Teint
This was never going to be an easy foundation to test. The price tag (£98) attached to Chanel's new Sublimage Le Teint is just impossible to ignore. Usually, when I'm in the trial stages of preparing a beauty review, I try to forget the price and just see the results...
Ten Under £10: Glowing Makeup for NYE
Well I do hope that you're all having a lovely little break? I'm afraid I'm doing a bit of a fast-forward to the future (albeit near future) and talking about the New Year - or New Year's Eve to be more specific - and some glitzy, shiny makeup that'll get you in the...
Christmas Tittle Tattle
See what I did there? Christmas Tittle Tattle! It's Christmas, but it's also a Sunday, so I've done a little combo title. Utter genius. I hope that you're all having a wonderful day already, whether you celebrate Christmas or not - I'm writing this in advance, for...
Weekly Christmas Shop: Six Good-Looking Emergency Books
If you're still Christmas shopping and starting to panic (I have three presents left to get, I'm with you!) then prepare to be saved: not only do many of the things in my previous gift guides come from online stores with one day delivery (get it on Friday if you order...
