Angelica starts school tomorrow, but I tell you what feels most weird about today, which is officially known as First Day Of School Eve: the fact that I'm not writing my monthly update in a panic at ten minutes to midnight! Yes that's right, my friends, I'm actually...
I haven't reviewed a tinted moisturiser in a while so let's make a juicy little comeback with this lovely luxurious one; the Code8 Radiate Beauty Balm. Code8 haven't called it a tinted moisturiser but that's pretty much what it is - light to medium coverage in a...
I've just been away for four days and I didn't do any work at all! Four whole days without my laptop! Taking childbirth out of the equation (and those necessary, blurry months either side) I haven't spent that much time entirely work-free since I went to Florida for...
Cream cheek products can be rather hit and miss; too sheer, too difficult to blend, or quite often simply too creamy so that they slide about and streak and set in all of the wrong places. But few things rival a cream blush or bronzer if you're looking for that truly...
I've been a bit out of sorts for the past few days, so apologies for the lack of post yesterday, I know how many of you look forward to the Sunday Tittle Tattle! I'll be back into the swing of things shortly, but for now here's the latest video - a very quick and easy...
Some rain essentials for you, this week, seeing as though the UK is experiencing a seemingly relentless downpour. Man, I need a holiday... Wading on in with an investment piece, first of all: the Kensington trench from Burberry. This needs to be the sort of investment...
Lots of people have body and beauty concerns when they're pregnant - fears about their body changing and never returning to its former glory, worries about hair loss and stretch marks and a dread of getting spotty, hormonal skin. I was one of those incredibly annoying...
Starskin, The Master Cleanser, Detox Sea Kelp Leaf Cleansing Foam. Woo! That's a product name and a half, isn't it? I had to add some commas in just to break things up a bit, otherwise I could imagine people expiring from lack of oxygen before they reached the end of...
If you're looking for one luxe item to add life to your summer makeup bag then you could do worse than Chanel's Empreinte Du Désert eyeshadow quad. I've been using it for the past month or so, almost on a daily basis, and it has the perfect trio of shimmery, simmering...
It occurred to me, as I was browsing my blog drafts file the other day, that I didn't ever publish my post on A New Way of Blogging. I wrote it when the baby was only a few weeks old and I was living at my parents' house temporarily (our renovations were in full...
Wah! One year! This time exactly twelve months ago (approximately 11am, as I write) I was lying on a trolley in the maternity unit, crying because I had done twenty four hours of early labour followed by a complete cease-fire in the contractions department, followed...
Oh, you've left it until the last minute to buy something for Father's Day? You and probably 98% of the population. Don't feel bad. Here are some ideas to save you from panic-buying a multi-pack of novelty socks from M&S or one of those variety packs with bottles...
Today is the first day that I will be with the baby but do absolutely no breastfeeds. Tomorrow she is one and our little breastfeeding journey seems to have come to a natural, contented end. I have to say that I would be more than happy to carry on with feeding her -...
A few weeks ago I raved about the Lola dress from Whistles - a throw-it-on sort of affair that hides a multitude of sins (three course meal plus two cherry beers and half a packet of cheese) yet still manages to look chic. It's casual enough to wear with trainers (see...
This is the second time in only a few weeks that I've gone to write a rave review about something and then found that I've already done a rave review about it. On the one hand, it's very annoying, because I invest quite a bit of time testing things, photographing...
