1) This week saw me sustain what must be the first cheese-related injury in history. No joke! I took the dog to dog-training and cut my thumb open on a piece of Manchego! You may ask what I was doing thumbing about with a piece of Manchego in dog-training, well: you...
1) I've just returned from Paris. Nothing new or particularly notable there, as I am often in Paris, but this time I managed to find a spare hour and nip to City Pharma, the packed-to-the-rafters-with-skincare-gems pharmacy that is frequented by those in the know. It...
1) I don't know how this fact has escaped me, being the relentless online shopper that I am: Net-a-Porter have a beauty section! Brands include the amazing Charlotte Tilbury, By Terry, and the most recent addition, Burberry. I have to admit to being rather worried...
1) I have just done the mother of all FeelUnique orders. I went a bit overboard, if truth be known, but...all in the name of research. (Obviously I needed a Dior nail polish remover and it would have been rude not to try a "budget alternative" at the same time,...
1) Newly launched bodycare brand Mio is definitely one to put on your "must try" list. Some of the products in their line-up might already sound familiar to you - the Boob Tube bust firming treatment and Shrink to Fit cellulite cream are little gems that I've...
1) Thank you for your marvellous suggestions on yesterday's "Celebrities who have hair like my Dog" post. Meg Ryan is already in the planned line-up and there are also a couple of quite brilliant surprise suggestions from Mr AMR; hopefully I'll be able to squeeze...
1) Advice needed: I have filmed a video of the makeup that I wore to the Brit Awards last week, but I'm not sure whether or not the eyes are too "winged". It took so long to film it and I would hate to scrap the whole thing, but I keep staring at the video and...
1) Weird postage issues (ie: me being in Paris half the time) have meant that I completely missed Clinique's letter about their Kiss It Better campaign. They've supported this cause for a few years now, raising money for research into childhood cancers, and this year...
1) Excuse my French (and you must, for I am in fact in France!) but how the hell did it suddenly become a third of the way through February? I am heading for a serious "where does the time go?" internal meltdown. It's hard to do this mindfulness, living for the...
1) Thank you so much to everyone who came down to the makeup meet-up at Charlotte Tilbury's counter in Selfridges. It was lovely to have such a good turn-out and I really appreciate so many of you taking the time to come and say hello. I was really very touched! There...
1) This week I wrote about the "exfoliant that keeps on giving": the Dermaflannel. To see the full write-up, click it open in a new window here, but if you've already seen it and had your interest piqued, then listen: Bravura have reduced the price of the cloth to...
1) Whoo! Where to start this week, where to start? Well. Youtube and my 200,000 Subscriber milestone would be a good place, I think - I can't quite believe it! I still remember, very clearly, the feeling of sheer delight when I had 1,000 subscribers... If you missed...
