I'm offline for a couple of weeks after this post - I'm working on something magnificent and it requires my full concentration. I'm sure that you can all survive a fortnight without my ridiculous posts on nipples, orifices and social distancing problems, but as a...
Here's a post that will please your purse (Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers!): three brilliant skincare products that form a very good, albeit very basic skincare routine, and the whole thing comes in at less than twenty pounds. I did film this for IGTV...
After twelve weeks of complete isolation I decided to go to the post office to do some urgent returns. (I actually had to send back some clothes I had ordered and never unboxed. Because who needs clothes in a lockdown? Not I, apparently. Apart from a few special...
There's rather a summery theme to this month's beauty favourites; it feels a little early in the year to be cracking out the sunscreens and the beachy scents but we've had a run of hot days and so I've been in all-out floaty dress and flip-flop mode. Talking of beachy...
I filmed this video months ago - Ted was only nine weeks old! - but forgot to edit the footage. So here it is, better late than never, a whole day in my life with "two under two". Just in case you were curious to see what I get up to when I'm left toute seule with the...
Well, we're almost at the point where I'm saying goodbye to "two under two" - Angelica is two in two weeks' time. All the twos. It has been difficult at times, having a toddler and a newborn, though not quite as bad as I had anxiously thought it might be. But I have...
Have you seen these ridiculous sheet masks for lips that seem to be all the rage? Patches of gel, or sheets of serum-infused fabric that are pressed over the lip area and left on for an "intensive treatment". I mean, each to their own and everything, but who wants to...
I indulged in a spot of clickbaiting at the weekend. I simply couldn't resist it. Mainly because I was looking forward to the comments from people utterly incensed that I would dare use the word "sex" in a video title (disappointingly few, I must say - I obviously...
Well I have to say that the Mum and B Ergonomic Maternity Cushion from Babymoov has been a total Godsend. I used it continuously through the last trimester to get my back/legs/neck comfortable in bed and I have used it for almost every single feed since New Baby Ted...
I said I'd be back with more podcast recommendations and so here we are, a mere week later, with My Dad Wrote a Porno. Apologies to those who read the title of this post and spat out their tea: be assured that it's not my own Dad who has written a porno. (Oh GOD, the...
I'm pretty sure that my breasts weren't this enthusiastic with the milk production first time around. Is it some sort of phenomenon that on the second baby they go into overdrive, squirting milk at any and every opportunity, turning on like leaky taps the minute you...
The current run of hot weather has provided an excellent opportunity for me to properly test some of the deodorants that I've had lined up along my bathroom shelf. I'm not usually the sweatiest of people and so it takes a very warm day for me to get a proper bit of...
A surprise entry into my "favourite SPFs" category: the new Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30 from Elemis. I'm a bit dithery about the original Marine Cream; I like the silky, fast-absorbing feel, but at the same time it doesn't have quite the moisturising "oomph" that...
My last post (for now!) on fair/foolproof/hint-of-sun bronzers. I realise that I'm at the risk of boring to tears anyone who doesn't need, want or suit them, but at the same time I've been trying to work systematically through my beauty backlog and Subtle...
I've really started to get into podcasts. I know that I'm at the risk of being late to every single party going at the moment (first lip liner, now podcasts, next I'll be raving about, I don't know, MySpace or something) but I like to tell people about my discoveries...
