1) I was temporarily reunited with Mr Bear this weekend when I went up to visit my parents. He spent much of the time looking incredibly grumpy and the rest of it sleeping. Though when I think back, those are his usual default modes, really, so I mustn't get paranoid...
1) New hair - I'm a new woman! Blonder, a bit shorter, perfect for a bit of a springtime lift. Many thanks to Nicola Clarke and Andreas Wild at John Frieda for a superb job - I must get myself some of the Sea Waves sea salt spray (here) that Andreas spritzed through...
1) Sorry, I was a bit slow off the mark with this week's Sunday Tittle Tattle and so those who subscribe by email will be reading this on Monday morning. Also, I've decided to go Old School and return to the previous way of titling these posts; it's easier to pick...
1) Just to fill you in on where I'm at with life: I've moved. Not through choice, necessarily, but because my house is being stripped out, renovated and extended. All at once. I petitioned to be left in residence, just my desk and computer left in situ like some kind...
1) If there's one thing that beauty brand l'Occitane does very well indeed (there are loads of things, but that ruins my sentence) then it's shea. Shea butter in hand creams, foot creams, face creams - even cleansers and toners and serums. If you need a proper hit of...
1) Cult Beauty have kicked off March by launching a really lovely goody bag. It's free when you spend £90 - easily done when you consider that Cult have their virtual shelves stocked to bursting with all manner of desirable and quirky items. They have also recently...
1) I'm off to Burberry HQ today to do something very exciting. I'm working with them over the course of today and tomorrow to cover their AW15 beauty look - the makeup is always a huge part of the "buzz" that surrounds their London Fashion Week show. There will be a...
1) I have a new background for shooting my makeup videos against; a chic, blue-ish mid-grey. This will be of limited interest to most of you, but a few people asked on Instagram for details - it's a Lastolite background and you can get them from photography shops....
1) It's nearly eleven and I need to take my bra off (ALL bras make me feel as though my ribs are being crushed in a vice at the moment!) and so a very short Sunday Tittle Tattle this week. First pic (above) is of my baby bump at twenty-two weeks (I'm twenty-three...
1) I got a wedding invite couriered to me last week and nearly died of excitement when I opened it. How lovely! A Dior wedding! Then I realised that everyone was invited and that also I wouldn't get to wear a hat. Good news for "everyone", bad news for the hat, which...
1) I went for an astonishingly good Sunday lunch last weekend. My God, was it good. You may not know this about me, but I'm not a fan of the roast dinner at all; I don't mind it now and then, but I don't hanker after it whatsoever. So I do like places that do other...
1) Goddamn you NowTV and your continuing encouragement of television-watching marathons: not only have you started showing the American series Girls, which I have always been keen to get started on, but you keep sending me emails that - if I didn't know better - could...
