If you're reading this post thinking that I'm about to reveal five one-off occurrences that made me feel really guilty - sort of like a confessional - then think again. This isn't a "come clean" session that will absolve me of my past behaviour and allow me to...
Angelica’s New Coat (If Wizards Wore Puffers)
Angelica picked this new coat herself. She liked the sparkly stars (we call it her wizard coat) and I liked the furry trim around the hood, which does seem to do quite a good job of shielding her little face when it's cold and breezy outside. GAP had 30% off...
Babies, Sleep Deprivation and Regaining Control | AD
When This Works approached me to collaborate with them on a special sleep project, I didn't even wait to hear the finer details: I just said yes. Because they had me at the word "sleep". Because I don't really get very much of it, as you'll know if you're a regular...
Mum, Toddler and Baby Favourites: June 2017
Do not adjust your television sets: the title at the top of this page does indeed show that this video post should have been published in June. I'm afraid I have been feeling a little overwhelmed, recently, with regards to work - I constantly feel as though I'm...
Mum, Toddler and Baby Favourites: May 2017
I've been doing a "monthly favourites" feature on A Model Recommends for years and years - it's usually solely beauty products, but now and then a book creeps in, or a pair of shoes or something random. Recently I've found myself wanting to talk about more baby and...
A Day In The Life: Two Under Two
I filmed this video months ago - Ted was only nine weeks old! - but forgot to edit the footage. So here it is, better late than never, a whole day in my life with "two under two". Just in case you were curious to see what I get up to when I'm left toute seule with the...
Skincare for New Mums
Skincare for New Mums (or Dads, let's not discriminate) - but the sorts of products I discuss, here, are suitable for virtually every skin type. Knackered skin, stressed skin, sensitive skin, dull skin - basically the sort of skin that you start to get when you become...
The Postpartum Model
I did a photoshoot for A Model Recommends (my beauty and fashion website) last week - it was an ad feature for a new clothing brand called AND/OR. I have to say that I was slightly terrified, because I am still very much in "postpartum" mode - there are still bits of...
List: Things That Only Tom Hardy Can Make Sexy
Have you been watching Taboo on BBC1? Oh my lord. It's very good - very good. It's sort of a cross between an incredibly dark and violent Dickens story and something bleak and hopeless and beautiful, like, I don't know, The Piano. The art direction is amazing, the...
My Top Five New Mum Essentials
Right, I've covered my top five newborn baby essentials (read that post here) but what about stuff for new Mums? Here are the things I found incredibly useful and/or wish I'd had from the very start. Dressing Gown. Why, oh why, oh why did I not have a nice dressing...
Delve Into My Snack Drawer… | AD
OK, so it's not a snack drawer, more of a lunchbox. In fact most of the time my various snacks are to be found scattered randomly across my desk, which is why I have to regularly hoover my laptop keyboard to rid it of crumbs! But here's a little delve into my daily...
The Best Over-Bump Stuff for Comfy Pregnancy Dressing…
Oh, when you're massively pregnant, what to wear, what to wear? Everyone congratulated me on my timing with this pregnancy (like I had any say in it), ooh, you'll be glad that you're doing the winter rather than the summer! But do you know what? Summer was so much...
