1) I have finally weaned myself off Elementary. OK, that's a lie: I watched all available episodes of Elementary and then had to stop because there were no more to watch. Which kind of amounts to the same thing, doesn't it? Surely. Anyway, as a result of my weaning I...
You may wonder why I'm starting to write about my pregnancy nineteen weeks in. There are a few reasons, but I didn't really want to go into them in the very first post as it's all a bit deep and possibly depressing. I wanted to start on a high note with the fact that...
I went to the ballet last night (The Nutcracker, absolutely magical!) and forgot to finish off my post for today and so you'll have to make do, temporarily, with some cat pictures. Though there is something of a beauty element involved, as I'm sporting my current...
I'm all for whopping great big shopping discounts online; I know that many people hate the idea of "Black Friday" or "Cyber-Whatever-it-is", but if you do the vast majority of your spending online, as I do, it's a great chance (if you're organised) to save a fair...
This is the first of what will no doubt be a whole slew of candle-related posts; it's getting nearer to Christmas and I'm working up to filming my annual candle video again! Tom Daxon's Under Milk Wood definitely makes the final cut - it has the most...
I've just been trawling my website archives for mentions of Connock London and their beautiful body range: I can hardly find a thing! A brief candle appearance in a video that has mysteriously disappeared (I think it may have been one of the Christmas Gift Guides that...
People are always asking me to recommend places to eat in London, and I should really compile a little directory of my favourites, but if you're looking for somewhere grown-up, fun and full of atmosphere then I can highly recommend Bob Bob Ricard. It manages to be...
1) I am mostly spending the weekend lying down, reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. (It's mammoth. I spend hours at a time lost in it only to find that I've hardly made a dent. If you order it, then I'd recommend the Kindle version - I'm getting muscly wrists from...
I cannot believe that it has been a whole year (to the day) since I packed up my London home, put Mr Bear into his carry-house and absconded to the countryside. At the time, amidst the unpacking craziness and the annoying logistical things you have to deal with when...
1) Hurrah! The Sunday Tittle Tattle is back. I'm back. Part of me wishes that it was still in Greece, but it's good to start the New Year feeling relaxed and healthy and positively brimming with Vitamin D. ("NEW YEAR?" I hear you screech, "what the hell is that woman...
Dear Readers, I am too chilled out to even raise a glass of water to my face, let alone write a proper post. Daily schedule has been: wake up, breakfast, lie by the pool with my Kindle, lunch, lie by the pool with my Kindle, nap, lie by the pool with my Kindle,...
Back with some more fabulous nail looks from @NailArtistMartha; this week she's been playing about with the new Alexa Fabric Effects polishes from Nails Inc. Alexa Chung's range for Nails Inc seems to be doing tremendously well and I have to say that - after my...
