I've (perhaps unwisely) started testing out online exercise videos. There's a whole other post to be written on the various hazards to be avoided when partaking in Youtube workout classes, but I have a pressing question about the fundamental essence of my being and...
Life update? Oh, nothing much to update you on here. I wasn't even going to bother with a life update this month, seeing as though things have been so uneventful and dull... Wait! Sorry, was off in dreamland again. Trying to find some escape from the world crisis and...
It seems a weird time to be filming a beauty favourites video, but what I thought would be even weirder would be for me to have made a big song and a dance last month about my favourites being back in town and then never doing another one! I even made that...
I have nothing particularly profound to say this Sunday (do I ever?!) and so I thought I'd give you a little run-down of what I've been up to this week. Apart from feeding the baby, which seems to take up approximately 89% of my time, and procrastinating over whether...
I'm so impressed with Alpha-H's latest launch - I think that it really taps into the trend for bespoke skincare, but in a way that's simple and easy to understand. The Vitamin Profiling Collection* is a set of four potent serums, each featuring a different...
The new-look Colab Dry Shampoo cans have launched! Teeny-tiny mermaids, tropical palm leaves and a smart new design for the Active version too - I absolutely love them. Same brilliant product inside, but the cans have been given "new clothes". As many of you know, I...
It's always a bit of a problem to know what to wear in the early days of breastfeeding, when you're still recovering from the birth and you're basically a sodden mass of milky skin and sweaty bits of mismatched clothing. You're told that your various lady bits need to...
This is a difficult novel to write about, because I'm not sure whether I love it or absolutely detest it. Either way, it makes for interesting conversation - or would do, if anyone I knew had read it! Have you read Eileen? It grabbed my attention because it was on the...
The February Favourites, as promised; mostly beauty but then a couple of fashion finds that have cheered up my "capsule" wardrobe no end. (When I say capsule wardrobe, I mean it quite literally - I have only one pair of black leggings that don't hurt my c-section...
I tried to film my first "back to work" video this week and it was absolute chaos! (Those of you balking at the idea of me being back to work after a month, fear not: I mean the working-from-home sort of work, I'm not strapping the baby onto my front and hiking into...
It's time for the monthly update - but now there's an extra person to figure into things, "two under two", the format has changed slightly. Updates used to happen on monthly anniversaries of Angelica's birthday (17th), but now we've swapped to New Baby Ted's birthday...
I feel as though I haven't done a makeup post in ages, so here we are: a bit of springtime blush to add some fresh colour to dull, wintery faces. Two lovely peachy shades - one from Dior's Spring collection and the other a blush from YSL's permanent makeup line-up. In...
The last of my pregnancy skincare posts, now - I've safely delivered Baby Number Two (a gorgeous boy) and so am no longer pregnant, and I just wanted to get these features out there before they became completely outdated and irrelevant! You can read my post on safe...
Have you been watching Taboo on BBC1? Oh my lord. It's very good - very good. It's sort of a cross between an incredibly dark and violent Dickens story and something bleak and hopeless and beautiful, like, I don't know, The Piano. The art direction is amazing, the...
Atkinsons' Love In Idleness is such a romantic, beautifully feminine fragrance - I mentioned this in my Valentine's Day post as a springtime alternative to the more predictable rose scents, but it's good for all-year-round-wearing, really, so long as you like your...
