Last summer I had laser eye surgery to correct my vision and essentially free me from my daily routine of having to switch between three different pairs of glasses. I know that it has taken me an absolute age to write about it, but I wanted to get a few little queries...

I did some exercise yesterday and thus ended the fitness dry spell I've been enjoying for well over half a decade. I can account for around three years of that dry spell (pregnancy, new baby, pregnancy, new baby) but I'm not quite sure what I was doing for the years...
I've rediscovered my cooking mojo, after more than a year of being almost completely disinterested in doing anything in the pots and pans department. My fall from culinary grace began when we moved out of our house and into a series of short-term lets (seems a...
Things that told me I desperately needed to start thinking about my post-partum health and fitness (10 months down the line, so about time): I ate so many Magnums, and banged on about my Magnum-eating so much on Twitter, Magnum actually sent me a whole box filled with...
After last week's Sleeplessness post I tried to make some serious changes to my bedtime routine. Thank you, by the way, for all of your amazing comments - I was really rather touched that so many of you took the time to share your experiences and give advice. And as...
Recently I wrote about my new healthy eating tips, or rules, that were part of my general diet overhaul. After a rather extended "babymoon", in which I had been eating incredibly naughty things with the excuse that I needed extra calories for breastfeeding, I decided...
Two years ago I made a video with my Five Basic Diet Tips. The tips were just common sense, really; eating fresh, unprocessed food, eating when you're hungry and stopping when full, that kind of thing. They weren't diet tips in the "dieting" sense (I'm definitely not...
I was given Hugh's Three Good Things two Christmases ago and it fell by the wayside a bit, what with house renovations and the fact that I was actively ignoring it because the cover photograph was so bad. I mean look at that cover! Why is Hugh grasping his leeks in...
This week I'm a guest on the brilliant food channel, Sorted Food. They are doing a series on performance food, talking to people who have jobs that rely on a good diet, and I'm the latest guest. An honour, because I've watched Sorted Food grow into a mega-channel on...
Sorry, we've had a mixed bag of posts this week what with egg separation and arm pits, I promise we'll be back to beauty soon. I just need to be able to get through the door of the beauty room and I can get started with some photography and makeup tinkering. Mr AMR...
Something I'm slightly embarrassed to admit, as a keen-ish cook: until yesterday I had a complete aversion to separating eggs. You know, when you crack the shell and then pour the yolk from side to side, attempting to keep it whole and unbroken whilst the gloopy,...
