It's rather queer, isn't it, that I held off writing about Ted the Kitten. I mean, why do you think that was? I was so excited about getting him and then so excited about him settling in...but something wasn't quite right. I knew it from the start, even though I'm a...
Another Gift Guide video for you - this time it's stocking filler ideas. Once again I think I have been a bit untimely with my Christmas videos - trying not to post them too early has meant that I am posting them pretty late! There are loads of days left yet, though,...
When I was a teen (all of those many moons ago, haha!) I was obsessed with beauty products. Obsessed. Obviously not very much has changed... Anyway, with that obsession in mind, I have compiled a short gift guide for teen girls. Pretty much everything in it would be...

Every time I browse on Cult Beauty there are loads of things that I want - unusual things, beautiful things, covetable things. If Cult Beauty were an actual store that you could walk around, I imagine that it would have this super-modern room full of hi-tech beauty...

Neal's Yard have launched a home fragrance range and it's really quite lovely. All of the scents are natural, as you would expect from Neal's Yard, and each blend has been designed to have a specific effect on the sense. I love the 'Energising' blend, which combines...
It's my birthday today! I'm going to be conspicuously absent, however, as I have to go to uni and talk about literary theory and other such wonderful things. Later I'm going for a meal and then tomorrow is KITTEN DAY! I couldn't really ask for anything more brilliant...
Fendi have released two limited edition versions of their fragrance Fan di Fendi, and they are both quite bonkers. The first, priced at £120, is a 50ml bottle that zips into its very own patent leather case, like a little leather jacket! You can see more details on...
