PMT has now become a major event in my life every month; for the entire week before my period I really struggle to get anything done at all. I'm confused, fuzzy and I just want to sleep. In PMT week I don't want to speak at all, I want everyone to go away and leave me...
I was going to call this post Top Faux Christmas Garlands but when I looked at the pictures it was more like a fireplace catalogue, so I've kept the title real and relevant for you. Hohoho. Fireplaces aren't all they're crack(l)ed up to be, in my opinion. It must have...
I made my first school-related Mum Error the other day when I sent Angelica wearing her uniform on something called a "mufti day". What the hell is mufti day? Granted, I should have probably Googled it instead of dismissing the mufti-themed email - thinking I have no...
Goodness, I've really tried with this foundation, but this review is, I should warn you, something of a mixed bag. I've seen so many glowing reviews of Clinique's Superbalanced Makeup online and so, when I first "dug in" (literally, see below for full explanation) I...
Oooh, where have I been? Naughty naughty diary writer! I must be feeling better, as I've stopped writing down all of my moans and gripes. I'm only back to tell you all about my stomach issues... I've had such BAD runs (the D-word - can never spell it anyway) and pains...
I promised myself that I wouldn't write about any more beauty advent calendars - I could keep going for weeks, and by that time they will have all sold out and I'll have calendar fatigue and I won't have had time to write about anything like skincare or foundation or...
I'm pretty sure I've been feeling some movements for the last couple of days. I can't be entirely sure whether it's just digestion but I remember thinking the same thing last time (quite a bit later) and then just knowing that there was something different about the...
In my original review post and video review of the Victoria Beckham makeup collection for Estee Lauder I mentioned that my top pick, if you were going to buy one item, would probably be the Modern Mercury Highlighter. Sort of risky to recommend it, really, as it was...
A male friend asked me the other day why so many pregnancy garments were printed with horizontal stripes. (Actually a female friend asked me this too. It seems to be a common query.) "Isn't the rule supposed to be that the fatter you are, the more you step away from...
Beauty brand This Works couldn't improve on the knock-you-into-oblivion perfection that is the Deep Sleep Pillow Spray, and so they made a slightly longer-lasting version, Sleep Plus Pillow Spray, that sort of refreshed its scent powers throughout the night to keep...
[Note: as I type up this diary entry I am 25 weeks pregnant. At this rate, I'll only catch up once the baby is born! So I'm going to try and get up to speed over the course of the next few days - sorry if it's pregnancy diary overload.] I can honestly say that I think...
A vlog for you, this time following seemingly random events plucked out of my life over a two week period. I need to get better at this vlogging thing but there are two obstacles in my way: I don't get out much, and I feel like a total dick if anyone sees me vlogging....
If you've ever dilly-dallied with the idea of buying a makeup manual, a sort of "how-to" of face-painting, then Face by Pixiwoo should be the one that you go for. A million miles away from the cringe-worthy tomes that were available when I was in my late teens...
First day without a nap and I wasn't even that tired! Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the second trimester. Is this the short one? I can't remember... I feel so much better, which could be partly to do with giving up those bloody vitamins. (See 13 Weeks.) I do wonder...
I've suddenly had a fast-forward to thirteen weeks! I had my twelve week scan and was a bit further on than I thought - I must have ovulated on, like, day 2 of my cycle or something. (No wonder it took so long to get pregnant the first time - I caught really early in...
