A Tour of my Kitchen

A Tour of my Kitchen

  "Tour" is a bit of a grand word to use, isn't it, for what amounts to a quickish snoop around the room that I cook and eat in, but there we go. It's a thing, online, apparently. House tour, office tour, tour of my makeup kit, bathroom cabinet tour, tour of my...

5 Most Used Beauty Products: April 2018

5 Most Used Beauty Products: April 2018

Brain like a sieve... I filmed this video weeks ago and forgot to upload it; my five most-used beauty products for April 2018. A gorgeous healthy-glow foundation (see the full review here), possibly the world's most expensive bronzer, an anti-wrinkle treatment that...

Beauty, Fashion and Book Favourites: April 2018

Beauty, Fashion and Book Favourites: April 2018

It's a good Top 5 Favourite Things video, this month. I had time to really ponder my favourites, save the best of them into my brain and then build them up to almost mythical levels of amazingness. To be fair, Grace Timothy's book, Mum Face, is already actually at...

Things Have Got To Change…

Things Have Got To Change…

My latest video has quite the dramatic title: Things Have Got To Change. It started off as a video about diet and exercise and the fact that I have a terrible diet and don't do any exercise, but then I went off on a tangent and it became a video about all of the...

My Infertility Story

My Infertility Story

I was reading through some old diaries the other week (actually looking for some photos of my Dad, but that's another matter) and I started to read through a few of my entries. I used to keep a daily journal - it was part of the preparation for my Masters degree - and...

5 Most Used Beauty Products: March 2018

5 Most Used Beauty Products: March 2018

Ah, another delve into the secret world of my echoey bathroom for the Five Most Used products of last month. I bet you've been waiting for this one, haven't you? Who doesn't want a video of me with crazy frizz-hair, filmed from the top of a wonky tripod, with one half...

Beauty, Fashion and Interiors Favourites: March 2018

Beauty, Fashion and Interiors Favourites: March 2018

It's safe to say this hasn't been the best month of my life; but then again, I think I said that about February, too, and I'm not sure whether March was slightly better or ever so slightly worse. So forgive me if my mind wasn't 100% attuned to remembering things to...

A Day In The Life: I’m Both Happy & Sad

A Day In The Life: I’m Both Happy & Sad

I've temporarily dispensed with A Week In My Life in favour of A Day In The Life in the hope that the content will be easier to digest and perhaps more engaging. At some point perhaps I should try An Hour In My Life or even, if people can't stay tuned for that long, A...

5 Most Used Beauty Products: February 2018

5 Most Used Beauty Products: February 2018

Here it is, as promised, my new "most-used" category; a monthly round-up of the five beauty products that I've used again and again. Helpful, I hope, for anyone wanting to know what I turn to day in, day out, rather than flash-in-the-pan lipstick love affairs and...

Beauty, Fashion and Interiors Favourites: February 2018

Beauty, Fashion and Interiors Favourites: February 2018

I've changed the format of my favourites video, you may be interested to know. After the roaring success of my 17 Most Used Beauty Products of 2017 video, I decided to make the "most used" aspect a regular feature so that you could see exactly what I've been reaching...

Week In A Vlog: January 2018

Week In A Vlog: January 2018

I've tweaked the name of my monthly Week in My Life videos to Week in a Vlog. I'm not sure how I feel about this decision yet, it was sort of rash and I may live to regret it. I think the problem stems from my hatred for the word "vlog". It has to be one of the...

17 Most-Used Beauty Products of 2017

I only managed to go and film a new video, didn't I? After two false starts (one of them was realising I'd done the whole thing without actually pressing the record button) I managed to create a short(ish)list of my seventeen most-used beauty products from last year....
