Just wondering if anyone can help me out with this email I've just had - I've obviously managed to get myself into a bit of a pickle. Not for the first time, I should add. Every time I sift through my junk mail I'm being blackmailed for one thing or another! "In case...
I feel that Sainsbury's have always been slightly ahead of the game when it comes to supermarket beauty shopping, stocking great and affordable brands such Super Facialist, Burt's Bees and Nip + Fab, but now they have completely raised the bar again with their brand...
Who knew so many of you waited for the third of the month with such a sense of delight and anticipation? I have say that I'm deeply flattered by the messages and emails I've had asking where an earth the monthly update has gone (I always publish on the 3rd, without...
If you're reading this post thinking that I'm about to reveal five one-off occurrences that made me feel really guilty - sort of like a confessional - then think again. This isn't a "come clean" session that will absolve me of my past behaviour and allow me to...
Forgive the radio silence: I've been moving. I feel as though I've said that a lot over the last few years, but I'm hoping that this will be the last time. Actually, I can tell you that it will be the last time - there's no way I'm moving again. For a start, I'm in my...
This will be the quickest baby update I've ever done because I have no internet and my 4G is - to put it mildly - temperamental. You should see me - I'm huddled over my laptop beneath a window in the kitchen, sitting on an IKEA kid's chair, swearing every time my...
I've never been hugely fond of florals when it comes to clothing - there's always the risk that you'll look as though you've dressed yourself in a pair of curtains, when what you were really aiming for was something bohemian and quirky. For this reason, floral items...
Are we still in Autumn? It feels decidedly wintery, but I'm hoping that I can still just about slot in a warm, russety-toned makeup video before everyone starts wrapping up in faux-fur stoles and sprinkling their faces with golden glitter. Here's what I've been using...
Another great moisturiser from La Roche-Posay (I already really rate the Toleriane Fluid for very light, effective hydration): the Toleriane Ultra Overnight Care. This is an intensely soothing, comfortable night cream that feels very rich but doesn't leave any...
Warehouse have some amazing sequinned dresses* in store at the moment. Flattering, relatively inexpensive party dresses to see you through the festive season. Now I know that sequins are ten a penny in the run-up to Christmas, but I felt that the Warehouse ones...
I have finally moved Baby Ted into his own room, which means that I been able reclaim my old bedtime routine. When there's a baby in the bedroom, it's inadvisable to turn a light on after they've fallen asleep, so activities such as reading a book - or searching for...
I did a bit of a mammoth spend in GAP the other week, when I bought Angelica's "Wizard Coat" (see here). I seem to be doing lots of kids' clothes shopping at the moment because I never seem to have enough of anything - vests, pyjama bottoms, cardigans. It only takes...
Another month, another week in my life. I almost typed A Leek in my Wife, then! Ha, that would be a good spin-off. Although, perhaps a bit graphic. Maybe a leak in my wife would be more easily digestible. Whatever, I don't even have a wife. Just watch the bloody...
Status update on the night-feeding/breastfeeding saga: Ted is now taking bottles. Of formula. Guzzles them right down, has a burp, looks very pleased with himself. In the end, it was simple necessity that did the job - I had to go away for work, and although I wasn't...
It's no secret that I find buying presents for men incredibly arduous - my Men's Gift Guide is one of the most taxing posts of the year. I think it's because the men in my life (and by that I mean Mr AMR and then male family members, I don't have multiple husbands!...
