There are very few things that make me feel instantly festive; I do love Christmas, I just don't think I love it quite as much as everyone else. I need a massive dose of nostalgia to get me going - songs crooned by Nat King Cole, films like Home Alone and It's A...
Here we go then, bang on time with my Christmas Gift Guides (I get lots of complaints when I leave them any later): we'll start with presents for the ladies in your life. Mums, sisters, friends and daughters or, alternatively, yourself. There's no shame in forwarding...
Here's one for those of you who wanted a more affordable take on the "floral noir" trend; a delightfully frippy little number that's almost more lingerie than it is clothing, thanks to the pretty lace trim and tie-front. Obviously it must be balanced out with black...
The other week I stayed overnight at a friend's house and made the mistake, the following morning, of applying the world's richest, stickiest night cream to my face and neck. I'm not going to say who makes it, because I used it at the wrong time of day and had I used...
I'm really in the mood for a bit of high-summer fragrance, at the moment. I think it's because we keep getting these little pockets of surprise hot weather; one day it's drizzly and grim and then the next it's absolutely baking and you have to pop inside to put...
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...

I wasn't actually intending to keep these amazing beauty boxes under wraps for quite so long - there were supposed to be lots of cheeky little hints, advance-warning teasers, annoying "I have a secret announcement coming up but I can't tell you what it is!" videos....
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....
I spent the majority of my allotted filming time for this October Favourites video clarting about with my hair, trying to arrange it so that I didn't look like a Cluedo character. (Miss Scarlett, if you're asking. There's something about blonde hair of a certain...
I'm very excited to announce that my Colab Dry Shampoo is now available at Boots, both in-store and online! If you're not already a "Colab Convert" then it's now far easier to get hold of a can and give it a try - loved all over the world for its clean, residue-free...
