Due to overbearing demand (well, about twelve people) Mr Bear the British Shorthair now has his own Twitter feed. It saves me clogging up my timeline with constant cat-related rambling (though that will inevitably continue) and gives him a chance to practice his...
I don't usually write about things like banking, mostly because it bores me to death, but partly because it's a private thing. We don't like to discuss money or what we do with it and most people have their own little system that works perfectly well for them. They...
Something both fun and luxurious for the dressing table; Yves Saint Laurent's Top Secrets Beauty Sleep. It's a two-in-one rescue cream for parched, crone-like skin. (I'm just being honest. We all have those nights, surely?!) The YSL Top Secrets products have been...
I was on Twitter yesterday and noticed that if you clicked "recent images" it came up with quite a funky little collage called a "media grid". I don't know why I feel the need to share this with you, it's not particularly exciting, after all, it just amused me that...
Long-time readers will know that I adore Strivectin's eye cream. (If you want to see all of the posts that I've mentioned it in, just type "StriVectin" into the search box, or you can read the actual StriVectin-SD Review here.) Some people have reported that they gave...
The summery freshness of this eau de toilette is really growing on me. It's zingy but still quite sophisticated, more grown-up than most "light-hearted" scents. The top notes are very fruity - Pear Green Tea, Blackcurrant and Tangerine, whereas the heart notes...
The A Model Recommends archives are back! They still need a LOT of work - most have lost images or tags or categories - but they are there for all to see. Once I've re-categorised everything, you'll start seeing menu bars and sidebar menus and all the things that made...
*UPDATE: it seems that the goody bags have now all gone! But the free shipping (see code at bottom of post) is on all week.* The amazing Cult Beauty goody bag is back! The last one was pretty fab, but this looks even better! The bumper deluxe sample selection is worth...
I have been going through my old polaroid pictures. I want to scan them into my computer before they fade or get lost in the mountains of papers and old bits and bobs that I have hoarded beneath the spare bed! This polaroid is from 2002, I think. Perhaps even the end...
I nearly had heart failure when I saw that the "Fira" storage units were back in stock at my local Ikea! They famously discontinued them a while ago (to much sobbing and wailing from their customers) but it seems that they are introducing them again ! They have...
For those of you having Mr Bear withdrawal, here he is having an "outdoors experience" in his new harness. Doesn't he look stocky? He was watching a bee and about to pounce! At the risk of sounding like the mad cat-lady, I'll give you a little Bear update: he is now 5...
You may have been wondering what the "hack" (sorry) has been going on with A Model Recommends over the last week. My bad punning should be a bit of a clue - I got hacked. I got hacked bad. Real bad. Yes, Dear Readers, the worst possible scenario that you can imagine -...
