What is this "sleeps" business? When did we, as adults, start saying "sleeps" instead of "days"? I can't bear it! I'm banning it from my life and if I hear anyone say it I am going to put my fingers in my ears and go "NAHAHAHAHAHAHNAAAA" like a fire engine whilst...
Well. I have been beavering away to relaunch my Luxury Gift Ideas site - those old-school followers may remember it in its first incarnation? Yes, Dear Friends, I'm talking about Keep Calm and Shop! It's back! You need never be stuck for a gift idea again - and, if...
I'm knee-deep in fake snow and I must say, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at A Model Recommends HQ! I have to start my festivities a little earlier than most because of the Christmas Gift Guides, but I actually like having those extra couple of weeks...
Those who were asking about the oversized knitted bedding in the Best Pyjamas Ever post - it's from The White Company. You'll see it in more detail in tomorrow's post (it's a good one, tomorrow, I'm excited!) but I just received a voucher code for 20% off everything...
OK, I know this is going to divide people, opinion-wise, but why in God's name would cinemas choose POPCORN as the snack to sell to people when they are watching a movie? It makes absolutely no sense at all! The only noise you're supposed to hear in a cinema is the...
I have a good number of teenaged followers on Youtube and so I thought that I'd tap into my own infinite wisdom (ha!) and make a video about things that I'd say to my teenage self. Don't even ask why I get all emotional at the start - I'm pretty sure I had quite a...

There's nothing bad I can say about this candle, nothing bad at all. It smells absolutely amazing - the sweetest, warmest honey - and 100% of the proceeds from the sale go to the RNIB to provide professional training for blind and partially-sighted people across the...
My mum made me laugh my socks off last night with her new blog post. Reading her stuff is like being inside someone's head who has interior Tourette's. If there is such a thing. When I got to the end and read "Must go as this has taken me over an hour and my hips have...
Just a little light comic relief for you all on this fine September Saturday. As I stab myself repeatedly in the eye with a biro (essay hell, don't ask) you can watch my cat dancing with a feather on a stick. Don't say I never give you anything. PS: Mr AMR is cross...
Sh*tfit of the day is a bit like the commonly seen "Outfit of the Day", except that it's not about outfits and there's much more sh*tfitting. Disclaimer: this is not intended to be a relaxing read. Does anybody have any luck with foot files? What is the point of foot...
I want to share with you a little link to a video that NEVER fails to make me laugh. In my darkest moments I have searched for this on Youtube and it has completely and utterly cheered me up. Many of you will have seen it before and I expect that for a few of you, it...
