Now that I have precisely twenty-eight seconds to get ready in the morning, I tend to gather together little groups of staple beauty products that I can rely on to get me through the day. The windowsill in my en suite is my "essentials" storage area - all of the bits...
This week's window shop was going to be all about how to recreate the beach experience at your own home, but these summery morsels are too good not to show off. Maybe I'll do the beach-in-your-garden theme next week - I just need to source some nice, golden sand that...
I wrote about the Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum a little while ago for my post on dehydrated skin, but I've tested it far more extensively since then and it most definitely deserves its own write-up. It's made by First Aid Beauty, a US skincare brand who make very...
Cream cheek products can be rather hit and miss; too sheer, too difficult to blend, or quite often simply too creamy so that they slide about and streak and set in all of the wrong places. But few things rival a cream blush or bronzer if you're looking for that truly...
I've been a bit out of sorts for the past few days, so apologies for the lack of post yesterday, I know how many of you look forward to the Sunday Tittle Tattle! I'll be back into the swing of things shortly, but for now here's the latest video - a very quick and easy...
Some rain essentials for you, this week, seeing as though the UK is experiencing a seemingly relentless downpour. Man, I need a holiday... Wading on in with an investment piece, first of all: the Kensington trench from Burberry. This needs to be the sort of investment...

Starskin, The Master Cleanser, Detox Sea Kelp Leaf Cleansing Foam. Woo! That's a product name and a half, isn't it? I had to add some commas in just to break things up a bit, otherwise I could imagine people expiring from lack of oxygen before they reached the end of...
If you're looking for one luxe item to add life to your summer makeup bag then you could do worse than Chanel's Empreinte Du Désert eyeshadow quad. I've been using it for the past month or so, almost on a daily basis, and it has the perfect trio of shimmery, simmering...
It occurred to me, as I was browsing my blog drafts file the other day, that I didn't ever publish my post on A New Way of Blogging. I wrote it when the baby was only a few weeks old and I was living at my parents' house temporarily (our renovations were in full...
Wah! One year! This time exactly twelve months ago (approximately 11am, as I write) I was lying on a trolley in the maternity unit, crying because I had done twenty four hours of early labour followed by a complete cease-fire in the contractions department, followed...
Oh, you've left it until the last minute to buy something for Father's Day? You and probably 98% of the population. Don't feel bad. Here are some ideas to save you from panic-buying a multi-pack of novelty socks from M&S or one of those variety packs with bottles...
