Last week I found myself unexpectedly perving over King Triton's torso whilst watching The Little Mermaid II with my kids. Which was something of a surprise, even to myself. A cartoon character - who knew? As he waggled his way into shot, I was taken aback by the...
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 was going to order some little vintage side tables last week but the delivery time, from the Netherlands, was estimated at 4-5 weeks. Considering that the tables are already made - they are secondhand - what in heaven's name mode of transport could possible take 4-5...
I haven't talked about a bronzer for at least ten minutes, so I thought that another recommendation was well overdue. For those of you who are missing my in-depth foundation reviews: fear not. I have about half a dozen of the things stacked up and ready to go, I just...
I've been filming some videos with the very lovely (and highly amusing) Poppy Dinsey from poppyd.com. Poppy is pregnant with twins and so we thought we'd start off with our favourite pregnancy products to see how they differed. Mine (single pregnancy) are very much...
I'm committing this statement to (virtual) paper so that you can hold me to it: no more videos in front of that bloody slate wall! If I have to edit one more thing with a grey background, I'm going to have to remove my own eyeballs with the barbecue tongs. And that...
This is the very first time in just over two years that I've very nearly missed posting my baby update on the proper day. It used to be on the 17th of every month, now it's on the 3rd (Ted was born on the 3rd February and it made more sense - at the time - to swap to...
I think I may have been a solar panel in a former life. Admittedly that's a slightly unconventional thing to have been in a past life - people tend to cite cats, dogs, birds, royalty - but I can't think of anything, either living or inanimate, that sums me up better...
There's a joke that's been going around the internet for a while, concerning phones and how nobody likes to answer them anymore. Or perhaps not a joke so much as an observation, but then there's always humour to be found in the frank depiction of a trait or habit that...
Be still my beating beauty heart: Omorovicza's amazing Queen of Hungary Mist has just launched in the most gorgeous limited edition packaging! Inspired by the architecture at the Rácz spa in Budapest, the pretty pink box and glass bottle are embellished with tiny...
Imagine if you could fix your expression to your face and make it last all day. Smile, grimace, frown; choose your mood and then lock it into place. It would be so handy for weddings if you could smile once and then freeze it. Or, for a serious occasion - something...
Some of my summer beauty essentials for you here, all neatly packaged into one (relatively) concise video. Note that I use the word "essential" very loosely; perhaps the only real summer beauty essential is sunscreen, followed by a good, robust cleanser to get it off...
The title of this video is totally self-explanatory; there's really not much I can add. It's another Day In The Life video, filmed a few weeks ago, and I think I look as though I'm slightly more on top of things than in the last one! (You can watch the previous Day In...
Mr AMR has taken umbrage at the way he was depicted in yesterday's post about weather apps. He's grumbling away from his corner of the sofa and demanding I re-word it. Because apparently, he's always said, and I quote, "the BBC app was good when it was served by the...
Slightly misleading title, depending on how you take it; My Riveting Experiment is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a stupid little project I've had on the go this week regarding weather apps. I haven't been pinning together sheets of metal with actual rivets, nor have...
