If you've ever dilly-dallied with the idea of buying a makeup manual, a sort of "how-to" of face-painting, then Face by Pixiwoo should be the one that you go for. A million miles away from the cringe-worthy tomes that were available when I was in my late teens...
First day without a nap and I wasn't even that tired! Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the second trimester. Is this the short one? I can't remember... I feel so much better, which could be partly to do with giving up those bloody vitamins. (See 13 Weeks.) I do wonder...
I've suddenly had a fast-forward to thirteen weeks! I had my twelve week scan and was a bit further on than I thought - I must have ovulated on, like, day 2 of my cycle or something. (No wonder it took so long to get pregnant the first time - I caught really early in...
As far as gifts go, this one is pretty unbeatable. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger gift with purchase. It's worth about sixty billion pounds. OK, it's worth over £600. But, hello, SIX HUNDRED POUNDS! Who is mad enough to give away that much stuff in a single...
The "Ten Under £10" edition of the Weekly Window Shop was so very popular that I decided to make it a regular, standalone feature. Because who doesn't want a round-up of brilliant and affordable stuff? Ten Under £10 will concentrate mostly on beauty, but if there's a...
Not so much sickness at all, this week - it's amazing how something can take over your life so completely and then just creep away quietly so that you forget it was ever there. I'm still very tired, so I definitely feel the baby "presence" but I'm definitely far less...
I have a rather fabulous worldwide giveaway for you today. I mentioned the gorgeous new OM Skincare in a recent Space NK post - it's a results-driven brand, using complex formulas and luxurious ingredients, but it very much embraces a "mindful" approach to skincare...
This is the first "baby and body update" I've done since my pregnancy announcement, and I'm trying to remember all of the things I wanted to say but couldn't. Like, on Angelica's One Year Update: Oh my God you won't BELIEVE this but I'm pregnant again! Or on the 14...
Do you remember last year's "best parka" video? I'm partial to a bit of a parka, me - I like the casual nature of them and the fact that if you wear them with a dress they make you look a bit dishevelled and cool, like Kate Moss on the cover of iD magazine. One of the...
I'm feeling a bit better this week in that I'm not so nauseous, but I've still had two naps today so perhaps I shouldn't count my chickens, etc! My stomach is HUGE but I'm convinced that it's just a big layer of fat with some bloating underneath it. The main thing is...
I completely forgot to post up the Day In My Life videos I made; one of them follows an entire day "with baby" and the other one, to offer some contrast, is a work day. And by work, I mean working from my home office, tied to the computer and not even glancing up for...
A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Paris with gorgeous French skincare brand Darphin. I've been to Paris more times than I could ever begin to count, and I think it's easy to become blasé about cities you're familiar with, no matter how beautiful...
