Next in my ‘Trying On’ series I am reviewing the best strapless bras - both for comfort and for a good shape beneath clothes. It's actually very hard to find good strapless bras; most tend to slip downwards over the course of the day (or night) and if they don't then...
On my continuing mission to find the perfect denim shorts I ended up doing a huge Hush shop. In this video I try on all of the Hush clothing (no real recollection of ordering quite so much so must have had heat exhaustion or something). Took bloody ages! All the items...
I'm playing catch-up with this video-embedding quest - this Me+Em clothing try on was actually first posted last month. I'll get there in the end! I'm not going to ever do particularly long blurbs with these try-on videos - they're absolutely self-explanatory. So...
I'm still very much undecided as to whether holidays abroad with babies and toddlers are a good idea. There are so many considerations, so many logistical problems and non-relaxing hurdles to jump over. Trying to get through airport security with two cartons of milk...
In a Monthly Favourites first, I have included something that only appeared on the scene a few minutes before I started filming. In fact, when I think about it properly, it shouldn't even be in the June Favourites because I got it in July! Oh well, let's not split...
This post was going to be called Alternative Chandeliers, but it sounded so unbelievably wanky that I had to change it. I'm not sure that "statement lights" is that much better, but hopefully you'll know what I'm getting at with this episode of the Weekly Window Shop;...
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 had such an overwhelming response to my video on infertility a couple of months ago; so many people emailed me and left comments talking about their own experiences. It's an incredibly difficult and delicate subject to broach, really, because it's not something that...
There was a news story the other week that horrified me to such a degree that I almost sealed up all of the windows of my house, never to be opened again. As far as news stories go, it wasn't even so bad; compared to the mass-murders, government-sanctioned violences...
Well it's been a while, hasn't it? I promised a whole slew of foundation reviews on a very regular basis and there hasn't been one since Clinique's Even Better Glow, which was months ago. It was also, admittedly, a hard face base to follow and I didn't really want to...
This go-faster stripes on trousers trend is one trend I can get behind, unlike backless things, "cold shoulders" and anything cropped). And it can be almost any sort of stripe; wide bands of colour, thin white piping, even the triple Stripes de Adidas are all the rage...
Please examine Exhibit A above, which is a pretty bog-standard sink. Traditional - some might say boring - in style, but infinitely useful for holding water, which is its primary purpose, or for merely providing a temporary receptacle for water should you find...
It seems like only yesterday, but it's actually a whole year since I wrote my post on the Anne Sémonin made-to-measure skincare routine I had been prescribed. You can read about that here, if you'd like a quick trip down memory lane!) It was quite a complex routine,...
It's time for the May favourites. A mixed bag again, this month, as I'm featuring more beauty in the 5 Most-Used videos. So there are two beauty things (both of which you can read more about here on the blog, links below the video pane), one sort-of-beauty favourite...
After dilly-dallying about looking at around five million wallpapers for the hallway, I have made the executive decision to have a little practice makeover session using the downstairs loo. What a great place to start! Firstly, it's small enough that any decorating...
