Three beauty heroes, an excellent cookbook and one of the best presents I've ever been given: how much better could a monthly favourites video be? Here's a quick rundown of the first four items on the list but you'll have to watch the video to see the fifth. It's so...
Everyone seems to be enjoying my more eclectic mixes of favourites, rather than exclusively beauty, and so this month I give you everything from interiors to - er - linseed. You need to watch the video, really, to get the proper lowdown on the linseed, but I've waxed...
Two posts in quick succession this week - ambassadors I am really spoiling you! Total misquote there, but if you were born earlier than - I don't know, about 1985? - then it's pretty much mandatory to reference the classic Ferrero Rocher ad if you ever use "spoiling...
Five favourites from the month of January, in the year 2021, which will surely go down in history as the longest month on record. It's like when they say on the weather forecast, "the temperature will be at around eight degrees but will feel like two" because of the...
This photo is completely unrelated to the video content but it's been a while since Mr Bear has pulled one of his classic "unamused" faces here on the blog and so I hope all is forgiven. Also I have taken to filming my Youtube videos on my iPhone, for ease and because...
In what might be considered the rebrand of the century, the monthly 5 Beauty Favourites feature has now become... *drumroll* ...5 Favourites. It took me a hell of a long time to come up with the new title format and so please do show your appreciation in the comments...
Fancy a quick blast through the beauty things that have wowed me recently? Well buckle up, team, this is going to be quite the ride! I'm exaggerating, obviously, because it's just a post about beauty favourites so there are never going to be any significant potholes...
Here are the June favourites, which means that I'm finally getting there with my admin catch-up! I'm going to keep this blurb short and sweet because quite a lot of the video is taken up by a review of some "period pants" and I'm doing a whole other post on those...
I completely forgot to post up my May Favourites video and when I gave it a quick once over to see what it was all about, because May feels like a century ago, it was like travelling back through time. Travelling back to an era when I hadn't hacked off my own hair...
My five beauty favourites for the month of April - I've gone back to them again and again, enjoyed using them all and will be sad when they finally run out. Although if they're anything like my Medik-8 R-Retinoate I could be waiting a long time, because I just can't...
It seems a weird time to be filming a beauty favourites video, but what I thought would be even weirder would be for me to have made a big song and a dance last month about my favourites being back in town and then never doing another one! I even made that...
I just can't seem to keep away from favourites videos. I stop doing them and then I start again, always returning to make just one more. I stop because I think that they're generally a bit formulaic, but then, a few months down the line, I start to miss making them. I...
