Just a quick little post today! I thought that some of you might find this useful... I have upgraded my iPhone and I am sending my old one (iPhone 4, 32GB) to O2 for 'recycling'. I'll get £226 for it! Not bad for a phone that's over 18 months old and isn't in perfect...
My Mum’s Home Spa
I have just been sat absolutely hooting with laughter at my Mum's latest blog post - I especially loved the battery-powered candles part. I love the fact that she can make me laugh so much when she's 100 miles away - it makes me think that if she lived any closer I'd...
New Year’s Resolutions
I know that lots of people hate new year's resolutions, but personally I find them quite useful. I rarely actually stick to them, but writing a list makes me evaluate the year that has passed and think about what I'd like to change for the forthcoming one. So here we...
New Year's Eve Indulgent Makeup
I have wheeled out lots of my all-time (and new) favourites to create a bit of an indulgent New Year's makeup look. The irony here is that I am probably staying in - I have my sister and her husband coming to stay and we are going for a tres chic dinner on New Year's...
My New House (it’s tiny.)
I want to buy this house. It's an open-plan, six-room mid-century modern house and I would happily live in it. The trouble is, it's only about twenty inches tall! Don't you just love it? Here's the rear elevation: It's the Brinca Dada Emerson House and I am totally...
Browsing the Bargains…
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas? Are we all busting out of our jeans? Greasy faces and a constant (though low-level) sense of nausea? Good, good... I have been a bit naughty (what's new!) and had a rootle-tootle about in the sales. I have bought...
l’Occitane Fig Tree Leaf Candle
This candle smells amazing! Out of all of the candles I shot for my Christmas Candle video, I think that this is one of my favourites. And, as a Brucie Bonus, it's also probably the least expensive! Result. I'd highly recommend picking one up to get rid of all of...
Champagne Ma’am?
Many thanks to the indomitable Ruth Spivey of www.goodlegslonglength.com for this most excellent bubbles-buying guide. I don't know about you lot, but I am at a total loss when it comes to choosing wine and champagne - hopefully Ruth will return on a semi-regular...
Goodnight Ted…
So sorry to tell you that little Ted was put to sleep yesterday. If you follow on Twitter you probably already know this, but for those of you who don't, I promised I'd keep you updated. So that, (as they say), is that. Poor little Ted - I am waiting on autopsy...
Gifts for Men
Phew. The last gift guide. They have utterly exhausted me! Or I am just exhausted anyway - who knows? The men's is the shortest because I always find it really difficult to buy for men - most of them don't really seem that bothered what they get half the time! On the...
Luxury Gift Ideas
Once again, the gift guides feel as though they are never going to end! Next year I am just going to do one video - it'll be like a feature-length movie. It'll probably require a crew and a catering van. Luxury - always one of my favourites! Just a few ideas if you...
Gift Guide: Bath and Body Treats
Bath and body sets must be the most commonly gifted item over Christmas, and some might say that they make for boring or predictable gifts. To that, I say good. I would rather have a predictable-yet-luxurious present than some random reindeer mug or a pair of socks...
