The first proper pregnancy feature! I imagine that there will be lots of cheers, because so many of you have asked for updates and posts, but also a few little groans, because some would prefer all pregnancy stuff to be as far away from here as is humanly possible....
The Affordable Skincare Routine
I'm clearing out my beauty room before house renovations begin (don't even ask why I'm going ahead with building work when I'm having a baby in four-months-and-one-week's time!) and I keep discovering very interesting little boxes filled with skincare for various...
Sorted Food: Can Food Make You Beautiful?
This week I'm a guest on the brilliant food channel, Sorted Food. They are doing a series on performance food, talking to people who have jobs that rely on a good diet, and I'm the latest guest. An honour, because I've watched Sorted Food grow into a mega-channel on...
January Beauty Favourites
This came around quickly, didn't it? I'm still recovering from cooking the Christmas dinner! January Beauty Favourites; we have some hair stuff, some nice morsels of makeup and the results of my sponsored Olay skincare trial*. I also have another giveaway for you (UK...
Surprise Announcement…
Actually this might come as absolutely no surprise to some of you, who appear to have the deductive skills of Poirot and/or who noticed the cryptic clues in the Perfect Stays post, but Mr AMR and I are delighted to announce that we have a baby on the way. We are...
What’s In Your Makeup Bag: Beauty Therapist Nathalie Eleni!
I love poking about to see what other people have in their makeup bags and in their bathroom cabinets (though that never goes down to well if you're caught red-handed!) and so it was a joy to film this video with my friend and professional celebrity-polisher-upper...
December Dog and Beauty Favourites
Here we are with the December Dog and Beauty Favourites. I'm being silly with the dog part, of course; I only have one dog and so of course he is always the favourite. But as many of you will know, he was very ill throughout December and having him fit and well again...
My Current (Very Simple) Hair and Makeup Routine…
Now and then I like to do one of these "current makeup" videos just to demonstrate some of the products that I've been using the most. If a product has been used daily for weeks on end then (for me, at least) it must be pretty good and it's worth having a bit of a...
November Skincare Favourites
I thought I'd just slip in a quick favourites video before I start on the Christmas Gift Guides; this month I've focused on skincare because my skin has been so up and down! Flaky red patches, a few mammoth spots that could only be described accurately as boils and a...
Beauty Reviews: Fusion Ink, Couture Noir and a lovely Cream Shadow…
I'm trying out a new post format today: the video below should also play on the homepage. With a spot of luck! If it doesn't then, well, nothing lost. I'm interested to see how this comes out on the Daily Fix email - my most sincere apologies if it all goes wrong! If...
MinMax Beauty Interview and Random Vlog…
I completely forgot to link to the interview that I did for MinMax Beauty earlier on this week - if you want to see the actual magazine shoot and official behind-the-scenes video then please click here, but if you've already seen those and want to read my interview...
Review: Chanel’s Vitalumière Loose Powder Foundation
I'm back with another Beauty Reviews video after a little bit of a gap. I really enjoy making these - capturing my reaction to new products when I use them for the first time, watching on the little camera screen as the makeup works its magic (or not!) on my face....
