Just a courtesy post to let you all know that I’m temporarily on strike until the heatwave breaks and it starts to rain. Which I think is supposed to happen later on tonight, but who knows? With any luck it might be Friday, or even Saturday! Hurrah! I’ve taken up residence in a deckchair in…

Actually this might come as absolutely no surprise to some of you, who appear to have the deductive skills of Poirot and/or who noticed the cryptic clues in the Perfect Stays post, but Mr AMR and I are delighted to announce that we have a baby on the way. We are absolutely over the moon and preparing to welcome our much longed-for little…
For those who missed the December Favourites video: I have a new product launching into the Colab Dry Shampoo Range called Extreme Volume. You may have seen it creeping into stores this week and it’ll be online very soon indeed. The feedback on the original Sheer & Invisible formula has been absolutely incredible and I can’t thank you…
Back due to popular demand, my online luxury gift guide, Keep Calm and Shop. It has been something of a labour of love to get this up and running, and it’s not quite finished yet, but I do hope that you enjoy it and find it useful. If you’re a long-term follower you may remember that…
I’m just doing a spot of admin again, trying to iron out the very last of the email subscription problems. (I know that the photo shows Mr Bear seemingly undertaking the admin work: I can assure you he’s not. Though he might do a better job than me, come to think of it – maybe I should…
An important message for email subscribers; you have a new-look Daily Fix coming your way. It should be in your inbox right now, as a matter of fact, alongside the usual one. I’m de-commissioning the old system because there were quite a few glitches; the new one will be much more reliable. (There were thousands of people who…
So sorry, everyone, I’ve been away on a little work/pleasure trip to Tuscany and – as usual – things have gone a bit mad in my absence! A few things to tell you – great beauty offers that are on, impromptu meetups that I’m holding, a little website admin issue that needs ironing out… 1)…
Makeup obsessives in the Midlands REJOICE for Charlotte Tilbury* has only gone and opened up her second ever counter in BIRMINGHAM and I’m going to be there on FRIDAY! Sorry for the shouty capitals, but this news greatly excites me: Birmingham was my nearest city, growing up, so I used to go there to do…
For those of you wondering if you’ve gone wrong somewhere and landed at the wrong website: you haven’t, and it’s not. I was just doing a bit of tinkering about and things got a little…stuck. And now, because of The Law of Sod, I have no time to work on the site until next week, so things might…
Apologies in advance for the short notice with my London Makeup Meet-Up; it has been a logistical nightmare trying to get everyone in the same place at the same time! But I have the details at last and it promises to be a lovely morning for those who can nip out of work or whatever…
Things that went wrong last night: I got soaked in a downpour, I almost broke my leg in a pot-hole on the Tottenham Court Road, I rushed for the last train home only to get the WRONG train home and then, when Mr AMR finally came to pick me up in the car and got…
I am busy drafting out improvements that can be made to A Model Recommends and, as always, would appreciate your input. I know that some people hate the idea of any kind of change, but I need to make sure that the website is up-to-date in terms of appearance and functionality and also tweak up the security…
In Sunday’s post I asked you which you preferred; beauty photos with an Instagram filter or without. I had slipped into the habit of posting up photos straight from Instagram because a) it saved time and b) they looked more finished, but I was becoming aware that there was a distinct loss of quality in the filtered…

I love this model search that my agency, Models1, are running. You enter by uploading a “selfie” (self-portrait taken on your smart phone, in case you’re as out-of-the-loop as I am!) to your Instagram and make sure to tag @models_1uk in with the hashtag #makememodels1. It’s a great (and incredibly quick and easy!) way to…
