I had a can of full sugar coke before filming this video, so you'll have to excuse the tendency towards frivolity. I've managed to get my Coca Cola consumption down to just one can a week, now, and I try to "take it" (like medicinal waters) on a work day when I need a...

Here's a visual delight for you; over 15 minutes of beauty confessional from Yours Truly. I talk about the Ten Year Challenge that took over Instagram and how I feel about my skin now that I'm 38, all via a chat about smoking and cosmetic surgery. So if you've ever...

So here's the deal: I've worn the Flower Beauty Light Illusion Foundation every single day for two weeks. It's great stuff. The only reason I don't have it on today is that I was travelling and needed to keep the weight of my makeup bag down - my laptop alone weighs...
Why is it that at the start of every new year I want a brand new hair style? A totally new cut, a completely new colour - something dramatically different. I look at my hair, the hair that has been perfectly serviceable for an entire twelve months, and - for reasons...
I royally overdid it on the retinol-testing front over Christmas and New Year. Most people overdo it on the food and booze, but not me; I prefer to live life more dangerously and become the world's most idiotic guinea pig. This guinea pig went in all guns blazing -...
Goodness me, this is a naughty one! I'm afraid those who are on the sensitive side should probably give this video with Nadine Baggott a miss - not only do we launch into an in-depth discussion about pubic hair preferences, Nadine introduces me to Scrotox. Not...
I'm surprised to find that I haven't ever done a full and proper review on Ameliorate's cult body treatment, the lactic acid-loaded Transforming Body Lotion. I thought I had, but if I have then I can't see it! Which wouldn't be surprising, to be honest, because I...
There are very few things that make me feel instantly festive; I do love Christmas, I just don't think I love it quite as much as everyone else. I need a massive dose of nostalgia to get me going - songs crooned by Nat King Cole, films like Home Alone and It's A...
Don't groan; there's another new title for my (defunct) monthly favourites that I'm testing. Basically the gist of what I'm trying to get across to people, via one lousy title that's really hard to decide on, is that these are the very best, most effective beauty...
