I spend a few nights a week testing out overnight masks. It doesn't take me the whole night to test them, obviously, I just slap them on (takes approximately twenty seconds) and then go to sleep. It's one of the easiest jobs in the world, unless there's a job that...
My belly is like a water balloon - I'm honestly getting scared to bend forward in case I burst it! Trying to shepherd the baby toddler up the stairs is becoming quite a task, so is leaning down to pick her up and - the worst - setting myself down on the bathroom floor...
I won an award this week - a CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women) Achiever of the Year award. I was so surprised when they contacted me that I actually had a small cry! I've spent the last couple of years with my head down, just ploughing through my work and trying to stay...
Just a quick post, because I'm currently trying to watch 50 Shades of Grey on the telly and it's requiring all of my willpower to maintain eye contact with the screen. It is, quite possibly, one of the worst films that I have ever seen in my life. Boring, non-sexy and...
I've been going a bit russety around the eyes for this year's Autumn Makeup Look. (I say this year's look as though I do a different look every year, but as we all know, all of my "looks" tend to be a subtle variation on "natural" or "smokey eye"!) I always...
The beauty retailers seem to be in some sort of crazy pre-Christmas bid to outdo each other when it comes to giving away piles of luxury miniatures or bundling them up into attractive advent calendars. The Liberty calendar, the Harvey Nics GWP, discount codes galore -...
We've had baby sleepsuits, 12-18 months and now here are the babygrows. (If you haven't the foggiest what I'm on about then read my post about the Baby Clothing Size Directory!) Excuse the fact that my halloween inclusions are now slightly out of date; I meant to get...
Well this is just extraordinary. It has to be the most un-seasonal seasonal beauty release I've ever happened upon: a winter launch of a fragrance product that is so summery, so reminiscent of tropical islands and hot holidays and steamy evenings, it's virtually...
Needless to say there's not much in the way of extreme sexiness going on behind my closed doors at the moment - I'm now at the inflated-water-balloon-strapped-to-front-of-the-body stage of pregnancy and am also permanently knackered. However, the nights are drawing...
For more info and background on the Baby Clothing Size Directory please read the post here - in time, all of the directory posts will be in one Directory here, but this is the first one. Sleepsuits, 12-18 months. Measurements have been taken as follows: Length:...
It has come to my attention, through many failed spending sprees, that there's often a lot of - what shall we call this? - flexibility when it comes to baby clothing sizes. Babygrows that come up tiny in one high street brand but, if you pop over the road to another,...
A few dislikes in this month's favourites video, because I know how you all like a little moan! You already know that Clinique's Superbalanced Makeup didn't quite float my boat, so that won't come as a surprise, but there are a couple of books this month that I really...
