Here’s an extract from my book, How Not to be a Supermodel. It’s taken from a chapter about model castings and the physical/sporting skills I lied about having in order to try and bag some work. Could I play the drums, for example? Sure: Was I a pro-level ice-skater?...
Is there anyone - anyone in the world - who procrastinates more than somebody who has mid-length hair but can’t decide whether to cut it or grow it? Jeepers creepers. It’s like a curse! Catch me with my hair at any length that ends between jawline and shoulder and I...
As I packed for a family week away in South Devon, the temperature where I live, near to Bath, was just tipping over the thirty degrees mark. I'm not usually affected by hot weather too much, not until it gets to "Egypt in August" level of unbearable, but on this...
If you subscribe to my blog posts by email then you might notice something slightly different about the next one, arriving tomorrow: it's being sent by a new provider. There's absolutely nothing to worry about because - for you - there is no other change. Oh, apart...
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...
For someone who writes about beauty I have a surprisingly temperamental relationship with facials. You'd think I'd automatically love them, considering my ongoing dedication to finding the very best things for my skin. And my passion for, er, lying down with my eyes...

After a rather lengthy foray into Disney parks and Florida road trips, we're back on home turf for a bit of "UK staycation*" action. I've been meaning to share these little self-catering gems with you for a while: my favourite finds, the houses and cottages and cabins...
In case you've stumbled upon this post via a Google search, please be aware that this is a very specific article. It's a guide to visiting Disney World if you're not that into Disney. I myself am not that into Disney. And I worry about saying this, because some of the...
I really thought I'd planned the dream holiday. One of those "once in a lifetime" sort of affairs that the whole family would enjoy and treasure forever. A holiday we'd all love so very much we'd still talk about it years down the line, when the kids were teenagers -...
A quick post today because I am writing this on Easter Sunday, when strictly speaking I should be trying to talk my kids down from their rampant sugar-high. One of them is currently gyrating to the Wonka soundtrack, the other has filled up a water pistol and is...
Fancy a delve into my springtime makeup bag? Why does that sound so dirty? Is it just me? This is what happens when I spend days editing content all by myself without any sensible adult conversation... You should know that I very rarely change my makeup looks...
I'm growing out my shorter hair so that it will sit just above the shoulder and am told by my hair stylist that what I am officially doing is going from a "bob" to a "lob". For the past two years I've swung between these two comically-named hair lengths and have had...
