I think I lost the plot a bit in this video: I start talking about the love I have for my tumble dryer. More specifically, the love I have for emptying out the water drawer (it's a condenser dryer) and removing the fluff from the fluff-catcher. I get a sort of calm...
A combination of raging PMT and the four day Easter break has rendered me completely useless in the writing department; I've tried to draft this post seven times, now, and each version has been virtually incomprehensible. So I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm doing a...
I filmed a new recipe video for the Mum's Eye View channel* - Macaroni Cheese! After all of my healthy eating (attempted) changes I thought I deserved a bit of a cheese blow-out, though I did eat three slices of tomato and some leaves on the side, so I'm hoping that's...
I have a new series of beauty videos running at The Telegraph; the Beauty Basics. They take some of the makeup tasks we tend to take for granted - applying mascara, grooming brows - and very simply describe how to do them. Great if you're totally new to beauty and...
The baby has started sleeping through the night. Hurrah, you might think, but no: I have developed, for the very first time in my life, a kind of strange almost-insomnia that sees me spend much of the night in quasi-dream-mode and the rest of it listening out for the...
Something a little different for the end of the week; in this video I go on a shopping spree, but in my own house! I found some boxes of stuff that had been in the storage locker and it was like opening up a time capsule - there were things I had totally forgotten...
I "vlogged". I really can't stand writing - or saying -that word. I think I said on Twitter that "vlogging" sounds like a Klingon coughing up a lung. Anyway, until someone comes up with something better we're stuck with it. Vlog. Rhymes with bog, frog and hog. Nice....
I asked top makeup artist Caroline Barnes (you all know Caroline by now - if you don't then click back to our previous videos first) to sort out my brows. Pluck them, shape them, lift them and then, after the "sorting", do something a little more dramatic. Good...
I completely forgot to post up this vlog: my first week back to work. I actually went back to work last summer, but I worked from home or took the baby with me if I needed to work in town. This week was very different because I worked away without the baby. Which was,...
I begin this month's favourites with my most-hated things - slightly unorthodox, but I found it rather cathartic. So much so that I may even do a whole video of hated things. I could make it a regular feature! But on to the positive items; two "man" things, two...
If there's one makeup trend that has completely divided us beauty-obsessed people it's the trend for drawing brown stripes on our faces and then rubbing them in as though we're trying to remove stubborn patches of dirt. AKA "contouring". One of the problems with this...
I filmed this video before I discovered the Soap & Glory Glow All Out stick, which is very annoying, because it definitely would have been included. Especially as the Topshop one I show is no longer available. Also (multiple errors alert!) the Rosie for...
