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...
I found this post in my drafts folder in February 2021 but have decided to publish it retrospectively with its intended October 2020 date because I'm trying to keep the blog in order! I haven't changed any copy so the cottage reno information probably doesn't...
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...
You might well point out that I'm a bit late to the party with this particular seasonal makeup update, but apparently we're in for a little heatwave next week, here in the UK. So there. I refuse to let go of summer! At any rate, why be so rigid about the seasons? I...
My summer skincare routine is here and it's slightly juicier than usual because a couple of months ago I had to do an almost unprecedented SOS u-turn on my whole beauty routine. I know you're ready to hear about it. We all love a bit of a disaster. Actually it...
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...
Here's the skincare routine I've been following for most of the season and I have to say that it has kept my face looking quite spectacularly fresh and bouncy, considering the stress levels and overarching sense of fatigue that has dominated the past few months. (And...
I've just been scrolling back through all of my previous What's In My Makeup Bag posts and I stumbled across this particular beauty: the Summer 2018 edition. If you don't want to click through and read it then here's the gist of the matter, in image form: Isn't it...
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...
Brilliant skincare buys that you can pick up in the supermarket. I won't dilly-dally about today with silly introductions and off piste distractions because I have limited time: I just hoovered up a load of moths with the Dyson and I don't want them flying back out of...
