Fancy a delve into my springtime makeup bag? Why does that sound so dirty? Is it just me? This is what happens when I spend days editing content all by myself without any sensible adult conversation... You should know that I very rarely change my makeup looks...
I'm growing out my shorter hair so that it will sit just above the shoulder and am told by my hair stylist that what I am officially doing is going from a "bob" to a "lob". For the past two years I've swung between these two comically-named hair lengths and have had...
In a surprise turn of events, I've become rather attached to a pair of camo-print cargo trousers. In fact I've barely taken them off for an entire week, wearing them with everything from cashmere jumpers to pretty blouses and cotton t-shirts. It's a surprise turn of...
In this video I try on dresses from Reformation. Reformation is a brand that I'd only ever seen on Instagram - barely anyone I knew offline had heard of it and I hadn't picked up a fashion magazine in so long (too busy reading House & Garden, apparently!) that I...
Well here's an absolute treat of a little place to stay: The Gunton Arms in Norfolk. It provides what is, arguably, the perfect low-key country escape. If you yearn for remoteness and the chill whip of an autumnal wind as you stomp across fields with your hound in tow...
My 5 beauty & fashion favourites for August include some boots for stomping in, a dress for vamping in and a face cream that moisturises so deeply it's slightly unnerving. Watch the video below if you fancy listening to me chatting through my favourites or carry...
Next in my ‘Trying On’ series I am reviewing the best strapless bras - both for comfort and for a good shape beneath clothes. It's actually very hard to find good strapless bras; most tend to slip downwards over the course of the day (or night) and if they don't then...
On my continuing mission to find the perfect denim shorts I ended up doing a huge Hush shop. In this video I try on all of the Hush clothing (no real recollection of ordering quite so much so must have had heat exhaustion or something). Took bloody ages! All the items...
I'm playing catch-up with this video-embedding quest - this Me+Em clothing try on was actually first posted last month. I'll get there in the end! I'm not going to ever do particularly long blurbs with these try-on videos - they're absolutely self-explanatory. So...
Featuring this month's 5 beauty and lifestyle favourites! Please excuse the random, disorganised, wasp-infested start and the filming conditions in this month's favourites video: firstly a wasp came in to the bedroom (probably trying to escape the building dust in the...
My four year-old has recently stopped calling his six year-old sister by her actual name and instead has taken to calling her just "sister". It's slightly unnerving and makes him sound as though he has been beamed through time from the Dark Ages, where he was the...
Welcome back to the 'If I Could Only Buy One' series, in which I give myself a week-long headache trying to decide on my absolute favourite beauty product from a given category. This time my quest has been for the best tinted moisturiser. Please do read the disclaimer...
In this video I try on some shorts and they are very… short. Don't hold me to this but I think I've come up with a solution for those of you who don't use Instagram but want to see the content I post on there. I'm experimenting with uploading the videos to YouTube as...
The just-six-year-old can now read, really quite well, which means I have had to hide all of the novelty mugs with swear words on them and also stop leaving dirty messages to Mr AMR on the fridge door. (Who knew magnetic letters could be so much fun?) In all...
Welcome to the ‘If I Could Only Buy One’ series, in which I give myself a week-long headache trying to decide on my absolute favourite beauty product from a given category. This quest has been for the best luxury cleanser. Disclaimer: Ooph, this "If I Could Only Buy...
