Oh, the shame, the shame: for the first time ever I'm having to postpone my life update and not do it on exactly the right day. (Third of the month.) I'm hoping that the heavens won't fall in or that we won't be sent a plague of poisonous frogs, because I'm very...
I'm toying with the idea of bringing my Favourites back. It's like bringing sexy back (Justin Timberland reference, because I'm down with the kids), except that it's videos with really good beauty products in, rather than a sultry man in a sharp suit singing about...
It might seem as though I'm a little bit absent at the moment - on here, on Instagram, on Youtube, on Twitter, if anyone actually still uses Twitter - and that's not because I've been out in the garden, basking in the sun. It's because I have my head down trying to...
I'm in bra limbo at the moment. Apparently I can't wear an underwired bra because I'm still breastfeeding, but I only feed first thing in the morning and last thing before the baby's bedtime, so - in effect - during the hours I'm wearing clothes, I'm not strictly a...
I've gone blonder for the summer, thanks to Nicola Clarke at John Frieda* who took me at my word when I flippantly said "I want to be loads blonder!" I had almost forgotten I'd even said it when the towel came off for my blow-dry and I saw my new, bright blonde locks....
I've been searching high and low for a new office chair. Depending on when this post goes up, you will or won't know that I had a complete change of heart with my office decor and decided to go very light and airy rather than dark and Tom Ford-y. My whole house is...
Bonus post! Here's what I packed in my new suitcase for my trip to France. (The first one. For the second I might well be taking my little carry-on case, so that wouldn't be an interesting video. It's only large enough to hold one pair of shoes, one book and one...
I'm back from "South-of-France Round One": and what a brilliant trip. Chanel hot air balloons, dashing men opening doors for me and a gorgeous new No5 fragrance to tell you about, once I get a moment to write things up. I now have just twenty-four hours at home before...
A very radiant face for you, today, using YSL's relaunched Touche Éclat Le Teint foundation. The new Touche Éclat Le Teint has been reformulated in response to customer feedback to provide the same glowy finish but with a more comprehensive coverage - it's perfect for...
Things that told me I desperately needed to start thinking about my post-partum health and fitness (10 months down the line, so about time): I ate so many Magnums, and banged on about my Magnum-eating so much on Twitter, Magnum actually sent me a whole box filled with...
I'm doing a bit of globetrotting this week. Actually, it's more like France-trotting, or even, if we're getting really specific, south-of-France-trotting. I'm in Grasse until Wednesday night and then at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday and Saturday. The Grasse trip...
Here it is, better late than never: a video of my pets. Dexter and the Bear. It should be Mr Bear, really, but that doesn't have quite the same ring to it! What a rigmarole it was, trying to get them both behave for the camera - when the dog wasn't licking the cat,...
Thrifty Scent. I know what you're all thinking: has she really gone to the effort of compiling a whole feature based around an incredibly bad pun? The answer to that question is yes. Yes I have. And it's not even my own bad pun, I nicked it from Mr AMR. If you're at a...
Continuing the sleep/bedtime theme for just a while longer; the sexiest, silkiest pyjamas. I don't mean sexy in the "ooh, look at me with my peekaboo bra and naughty pants on" way, but the "oh my God these silky things feel really nice, I'm going to have such a...
I've been playing about with Dolce & Gabbana's Summer In Italy collection, which includes a lemon yellow eyeshadow, a creamy gold shimmer pot for face and eyes and a bronzer with the most colourful packaging I've ever seen. The matte eye monos are unbelievably...
