Palpitations: The Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar

Palpitations: The Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar

I promised myself that I wouldn't write about any more beauty advent calendars - I could keep going for weeks, and by that time they will have all sold out and I'll have calendar fatigue and I won't have had time to write about anything like skincare or foundation or...

Beauty Advent Calendars for the Seriously Enthusiastic

Beauty Advent Calendars for the Seriously Enthusiastic

It's only the beginning of October - the leaves are barely dropping from the trees - and already the beauty advent calendars have begun to creep onto the internet. I sort of feel that you need to be a serious beauty enthusiast to snap up anything Christmas-related...

For Those Who Love Kittens…

For Those Who Love Kittens…

Last week I bought you a little edit of things non-kittenish, this week I present: FULL-ON KITTEN. And owls. And pretty floral prints. Let's start with Paul & Joe, shall we? They have something of a penchant for featuring cats in their makeup range and this...

Stylish Non-Kitten Gifts

Stylish Non-Kitten Gifts

I'm sorry, I fell down spectacularly with teen gifts this year. Perhaps because I did a "kids and babies" one and that took up most of my brain space. So here are a few bits and bobs that I thought might be appealing to the girl who likes cool, graphic stuff rather...

Luxury Candle Sets: Not For Sharing

Luxury Candle Sets: Not For Sharing

Some great candle sets for you here; but don't think you can start divvying them up into little individual stocking fillers. Oh no. These were not made for sharing: they are little boxes of pure, selfish candle indulgence, each fragrance carefully chosen so that you...

Fancy Papery Stuff

Fancy Papery Stuff

There's something about a fresh notepad with its crisp white pages, or a beautifully bound book waiting to be opened for the first time... I can absolutely see why the term "Stationery P*rn" exists. Here's my little roundup of some of the papery things that have taken...

My Christmas Wishlist (The Gift Guide for Girls)

My Christmas Wishlist (The Gift Guide for Girls)

I've sort of restyled my last gift guide video because it occurred to me that I had a million and one things to include in my Gift Guide for Girls, but only some of them were things that I would genuinely be excited to find under the Christmas tree. So this is my pick...

The Christmas Gift Guide: Presents for Men

The Christmas Gift Guide: Presents for Men

Some Christmas present ideas for men. I've tried to keep the whole "soap and socks" element minimal, but there are some really very smart-looking shave and grooming kits about this year and it seemed a shame not to include them! I particularly like the tattoo care set...

Mr AMR’s Christmas Wish List

Mr AMR’s Christmas Wish List

I asked Mr AMR for some help with my Men's Christmas Gift Guide, thinking he would scour the internet for interesting items to add to my list. Items I would perhaps be able to order in and then, you know, show in the video. But no: twenty minutes later I received an...

Your Christmas Candles Sorted (Epic Post, Get Comfy)

Your Christmas Candles Sorted (Epic Post, Get Comfy)

I've got about a million amazing candles to talk about this year, but I thought I'd start off with my carefully selected edit of Ones That Smell Like Christmas. I got into trouble with Mr AMR when I was filming the lit candles - I didn't want any of them to end up...

Christmas Gifts for Babies and Kids

Christmas Gifts for Babies and Kids

It feels weird writing the word "kids" because I'm pretty sure that my Mum used to tell us (kids) off for saying kids instead of children. I may be imagining that, I shall ask her later. I can't even imagine why we couldn't say it - maybe it was considered slang, back...
