It's life update time again, and rather than bore you with all of the tantrums and CIA-level negotiation we've been having to do around here, with our three and a four year old, I thought we could talk about bedtime routines and (more specifically) some of the crazy...
You know the drill with these, by now: it's a real-time (ish) try-on of my latest clothing order, this time from perennial favourite, Hush Homewear. It wouldn't really have been such a big order, but I have to get everything in both a size 10 and 12, because I sit...
I always feel like a right berk recommending this to people when I can't pronounce the name properly - I mean, how on earth do you say OI Oil without looking as though you're doing an extreme facial yoga move? - but recommend it I do. A lot. Because, despite trying...
Being really, really pregnant is quite a singular feeling and, even though it hasn't been so long since I was heavily pregnant with Angelica, it's amazing how quickly your mind and body completely forget the sensation. So I thought I'd jot down some of the more...
Back from my consultant's appointment at the hospital and I'm more confused than ever though, it has to be said, slightly elated. Before I go into what the consultant said, I must once again just stress the benefits of having gone to see a private obstetrician for a...
Oh I do hate to send you all on a wild goose chase around the internet, but I've written a post on Pregnancy Safe Skincare over on A Model Recommends and didn't want anyone to miss it*. Not least because my guest contributor on the post is amazing dermatologist Dr Sam...
The whole issue of "safety" when it comes to certain skincare ingredients during pregnancy is a touchy one and experts seem to have quite divided opinions on it, which doesn't help when you're looking for solid information on something at an already very confusing and...
I promised I'd tip you all off as soon as Caroline Hirons' Pixi Double Cleanse hit the shelves: and then promptly forgot. I'm so sorry. But actually, I think that it kept selling out for the first week or so anyway, so you can now acquire one in a much more stately...
Well: this gestational diabetes thing has thrown a right spanner in the old works, I can tell you! (Photo above taken in last pregnancy, by the way, after I had polished off two whole desserts. I thought it was brilliantly inappropriate.) I just feel as though I've...
UPDATE: The winner of the Mokee Tipi Tent is Katie Groves! I'll contact you by email for your address - congratulations! I nice little reprieve from the whole Gestational Diabetes debacle (yes I do have it, update post coming soon) and the electric shock pains that...
A double-whammy of a review for you today, because not only have I been testing out the Ageless Throat & Décolletage Cream from Prai, my Mum has too. And there's a bonus ball (if that wasn't enough) because if by the end of this post you fancy giving the cream a...
Well, this must have been one of the strangest weeks of my life, in terms of personal ups and downs*. Firstly, I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes (you can read my initial post on it here, though it needs updating with the latest findings) and this has...
Well, this is rather a spanner in the old works; I'm having to test four times a day for gestational diabetes due to the (apparent) gargantuan size of the baby within. It's not actually too much of an inconvenience - and at any rate, you do what you have to do when it...
This is the biggest update yet, I reckon. Not in terms of length, but in terms of sudden developmental leap. I don't know whether it was because we took two weeks off at Christmas and so perhaps we were more attentive to Angelica than usual (I mean, she gets a lot of...
I really enjoy making the Day In My Life videos (so far I've done an "at home with baby" one and a "work day" one) and so when I knew I'd be at the Colab studio shoot last week I thought that it would be a perfect opportunity to film another. It was quite likely that...
