My Christmas gift ideas 2021 for him is here. In all honestly, Mr AMR chose a lot of this but I think that's probably a good thing. I tend to find oddities such as "coasters that cost £71" and he finds coffee machines that look like a Makita drill... Remember to pass...
Christmas Gift Ideas For Her is here. Wow, that's a mouthful of a sentence! I hope that the following bits and pieces spark your imagination Featured above: Top left GUCCI Bloom Nettare Di Fiori For Her – Eau de Parfum 100ml. Is this not just the coolest bottle?...
The eye palette from Chanel's Holiday 2021 collection has already sold out online so I'm not going to beat around the bush: if you want a special edition Rouge Allure No5 lipstick* or the amazing paper-pulp-packaged No5 perfume* then you'll have to be quick about it....
I seem to have developed quite a serious, potentially ruinous, shopping addiction. I can't stop buying things from the vintage/antique website Vinterior. To date, I've bought four lights, three mirrors, a chest of drawers, an old French shop display, an armoire the...
And so here it is, the Autumn Favourites video as promised. I'll now be doing my favourites videos seasonally, or with a theme - for example, "Haircare Favourites" or "Favourite Budget Bodycare". The seasonal favourites videos will be a light-hearted overview of the...
"Captain's log. Stardate 031118. I have been lost in cyberspace for over four hours and rescue seems unlikely. The wall lights I've been trying to buy for the stairs and landing have eluded me for almost an entire calendar year yet still I search for them, typing...
A new format for you; I've rolled the October monthly "favourites" and "most-used" into one mega-video to create - wait for it - October Beauty: What Really Worked? Now don't get me wrong, I love picking out the most exciting new launches and best old-school beauty...
Why can kids be so creepy? In particular small ones? And before you question the legitimacy of my inquiry or chastise me for being unkind about children, let me please draw your attention to the following creepy child specimens: Damien from The Omen, the twins from...
Not that I'm becoming an expert on earplugs or anything (I am) but I have discovered some foam ones with quite a useful feature. The official, technical term for this feature is "slow rebound" but to you and I, it's "foam that takes a while to bounce back". I realise...
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) After my latest video I had almost as many questions about the cardigan I was wearing as the skincare products I featured - something about the striped cuffs seemed to really get people...
A new video for you here, but as it's proved to be such a popular one already I'll give you a bit of an extended blurb. The Five Beauty Products that Changed My Skin has a slightly confusing title, I suppose, because it's more about the five "types" of product that...
After the best summer in living memory (for me, at least; those older have enjoyed banging on about the summer of '76 which was, of course, hotter, longer and tougher) we find ourselves hurtling into autumn. The leaves are starting to fall, the nights are drawing in...
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...
I went away for six whole nights (I went for the days too, obviously, otherwise it would have been a logistical nightmare) and I took my little vlogging camera with me to document the trip. I've called the resulting video - wait for this, because it's an absolute...
