I've made some quite significant changes to my skincare routine since Christmas and so I thought it might be time for an update. This wasn't the easiest update video to film, mostly because the issue of the hero product's price-tag was hanging over me like a spectre...
Not since Molton Brown's Geranium Nefertum have I spritzed a scent and really really liked it. I think that my nose has gone on strike, to a certain extent - it's not that it can't smell things, it just doesn't really get that excited anymore. Not much tickles my...
I did an Abercrombie & Fitch order last week because the knees had gone through on my favourite skinny jeans. To be quite honest with you, I'm no longer sure that superskinny jeans are really the best cut for me anymore, but they seem to be the only jeans made...
I've come to a bit of a decision, with these update posts; I think that when New Baby arrives I'm going to amalgamate all of the updates into one so that the monthly post covers my own post-partum recovery, the new baby's development and also a little bulletin on what...
With just a couple of months to go before New Baby arrives, I've been having a think about the equipment I found most useful when I came home from hospital. Here are the five things that I couldn't have lived without in the first few weeks with a brand new baby. Bear...
Some stuff I'd buy for myself, in this week's Window Shop - though there's a sort of caveat, because the title should really say Stuff I'd Buy Myself If I Wasn't Pregnant. Being pregnant does something odd to me in that I can't think about things that are more than a...
OK, so it's not a snack drawer, more of a lunchbox. In fact most of the time my various snacks are to be found scattered randomly across my desk, which is why I have to regularly hoover my laptop keyboard to rid it of crumbs! But here's a little delve into my daily...
Just a quickie, as they say in the business (I have no idea what business I'm on about but I've just had a rare but much-needed can of full fat Coke and the caffeine has gone to my head): Josh Wood's Precious Blonde shampoo and conditioner. This is the second set of...
*NOTE: this post was written on December 13th 2015 and I have only just found it, unpublished! So I thought it fitting to publish it an entire year later, to the day. Reading it has brought back many memories and sent me into a mini panic about the fact I'm about to...
Isn't the word "tricycle" great? Partly it makes me think of that scene from The Shining, where the kid's pedalling his little trike up and down the deserted hotel corridor, and also it reminds me of that vile puppet (is he called Jigsaw?) in the horror movie Saw, but...
I must confess to having not done very well with my stretch-mark-oil testing duties, this pregnancy. I've been on the body balms instead (a round-up of those is imminent) even though oils are, I would suspect, slightly more effective when it comes to keeping the skin...
I completely and utterly jinxed myself with last week's Tittle Tattle, falling into bed like a sack of rocks by lunchtime and spending Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ill in bed. (I managed to haul myself up on Monday night to attend a chef's table dinner, but...
Oooh, I'm finding this one a right little devil to review! The Air Cushion Skin Perfector from Topshop is another cushion foundation (product-soaked sponge inside a compact, for those not in the know with this particular trend) but I'm flailing around a bit when it...
Oh, when you're massively pregnant, what to wear, what to wear? Everyone congratulated me on my timing with this pregnancy (like I had any say in it), ooh, you'll be glad that you're doing the winter rather than the summer! But do you know what? Summer was so much...
I've tried quite a few products from Marks & Spencer's own brand Formula before, but it seems that the entire skincare line has recently had a complete overhaul. Packaging, ingredients, formulations, the whole caboodle. There are six collections within the line,...
