Holiday Perks for Everyone!

Holiday Perks for Everyone!

I have mentioned the Mr & Mrs Smith Blacksmith membership before, but I wanted to do a quick recap. My Silversmith membership is up for renewal and I was just doing a little stock-take of what I will get for my £40 renewal fee. Quite a lot, as it happens!...

Champneys Tring in the Sunshine!

Champneys Tring in the Sunshine!

I returned to Champneys Tring last weekend, just as the sun was coming out. Look at the lovely outdoor pool area - I hadn't even noticed that when I came before! The last time I stayed I was filming some videos (you can see those posts here) and it was wintery and...

The Germ-Removing Hand Cream

The Germ-Removing Hand Cream

So what do we think of this then? Vaseline have launched (ages ago now, actually, but I forgot about it)  a hand cream with added sanitising germ protection. Clever, but I have to say that I thought of this idea years ago, so that makes me cleverer! (Haha.) Seriously,...

Bedside Beauty Snapshot: Cornwall, June 2012

Bedside Beauty Snapshot: Cornwall, June 2012

The second "Bedside Beauty" snapshot: this time I'm at a hotel in Bude, Cornwall. Obviously this isn't everything that I took with me, it's an edit of my most favoured and most notable products. Ready for the run-down? 1) Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser. I have mentioned...

Wet and Windy Weekend Vlog!

Wet and Windy Weekend Vlog!

It was very wet and windy in Cornwall on Saturday and so I recorded a little "outfit of the day" video. Mostly because I was trying to prolong the amount of time I could spend indoors - it was blowing an absolute gale outside! More outfit details can be found in the...

Shu Uemura Red:juvenus Elasto-Vitalizing Stretchable Mask

Shu Uemura Red:juvenus Elasto-Vitalizing Stretchable Mask

I used this little beauty of a mask when I was in Hamburg. I have done lots of flying recently and so I needed something high-powered to really get the moisture back into my skin. I had a modelling shoot for a German magazine called Freundin - I've worked for them...

The Standard Hotel, Hollywood

The Standard Hotel, Hollywood

I was trawling through my "to-do" lists and found these photos that I hadn't published. They were all taken at The Standard Hotel in Hollywood, L.A. As you can probably tell from the above photograph, it's quite a lively place - the pool area was absolutely rammed...

Beauty Sample Hoarding

Beauty Sample Hoarding

I have been doing a spot of tidying and sorting and have realised (quite late on in life, I suppose) that I am a bit of a hoarder. Look at this lot! Tiny tubes and bottles and jars, all of them filled with gorgeous unguents and potions. Not only are they brilliant for...

The Motel One Chain in Germany

The Motel One Chain in Germany

I have stayed in quite a few Motel One hotels in Germany now - all of them in different cities - and although I moan religiously every time I get put up in one, I wanted to do a quick post about why they're not so bad. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't actively log on...

Amazing Elemis Gift with Mr & Mrs Smith!

Just a quickie for those of you thinking of booking a getaway in the next week or so: luxury and boutique hotel experts Mr & Mrs Smith have a fabulous "gift with purchase". If you book any hotel for five nights or more (you have to book before the end of May) then...

Palm Trees and Palaces: Beverly Hills 90210

Palm Trees and Palaces: Beverly Hills 90210

This is me, standing at the side of the road (or "street", I should say) in Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills 90210 to be precise. Where Bedford meets Carmelita. (They're not people, they're street names.) I fell in love with Beverly Hills. In all fairness, it was baking...

A Model in Paris…

A Model in Paris…

Bonjour mes petites! I am in Paris on a top-secret assignment that I'm not allowed to talk about. How very exciting! Good job they told me it was top secret last night JUST as I was about to tweet where I was and what I was doing! I'm off to have a little walk down...
