Here are my 2019 favourites for skincare and haircare, including the latest shampoo discovery that actually changes the entire feel of my hair and the skincare that’ll make a proper difference to your beauty routine. I was going to do a bodycare version of this 2019 roundup, as well as a “best books” video, but…
As you will know, if you’ve been following A Model Recommends for any length of time, I’m a very proud founder of the Colab dry shampoo brand. It seems like only yesterday that we launched it, with a star-studded party in East London (I had found out that I was pregnant with Angelica just the day before,…
I wasn’t actually intending to keep these amazing beauty boxes under wraps for quite so long – there were supposed to be lots of cheeky little hints, advance-warning teasers, annoying “I have a secret announcement coming up but I can’t tell you what it is!” videos. But life got in the way and I only…
Here it is, as promised, my new “most-used” category; a monthly round-up of the five beauty products that I’ve used again and again. Helpful, I hope, for anyone wanting to know what I turn to day in, day out, rather than flash-in-the-pan lipstick love affairs and impulsive face mask experiments. It’s so difficult to narrow…
I only managed to go and film a new video, didn’t I? After two false starts (one of them was realising I’d done the whole thing without actually pressing the record button) I managed to create a short(ish)list of my seventeen most-used beauty products from last year. As I say in the video, there’s an…
I spent the majority of my allotted filming time for this October Favourites video clarting about with my hair, trying to arrange it so that I didn’t look like a Cluedo character. (Miss Scarlett, if you’re asking. There’s something about blonde hair of a certain length, styled in a certain way, that – when worn with a…
I’m very excited to announce that my Colab Dry Shampoo is now available at Boots, both in-store and online! If you’re not already a “Colab Convert” then it’s now far easier to get hold of a can and give it a try – loved all over the world for its clean, residue-free finish, it’s an…
I think I may have been a solar panel in a former life. Admittedly that’s a slightly unconventional thing to have been in a past life – people tend to cite cats, dogs, birds, royalty – but I can’t think of anything, either living or inanimate, that sums me up better than a solar panel….
Did you ever play a game when you were little called Kim’s Game? We used to play it at Girl Guides. It probably has loads of different names and ways to play it, but our version was this: you’d have a tray with a load of objects on (things like pens and buttons and whistles and so…
The new-look Colab Dry Shampoo cans have launched! Teeny-tiny mermaids, tropical palm leaves and a smart new design for the Active version too – I absolutely love them. Same brilliant product inside, but the cans have been given “new clothes”. As many of you know, I have been hugely involved with Colab from the start and I’m so proud…
Please note that I am a founder of the Colab Dry Shampoo brand – this is not a paid post. I said I’d keep you updated with the new Colab Dry Shampoo launch and here it is: Paradise. I honestly don’t know where to start with this post – I’m really (uncharacteristically) overexcited because I’ve been…
Thursday was “take your toddler to work day”. Not literally, of course – nobody else had their toddler there, and it wasn’t one of those ridiculous national things like “national doughnut day” or “national look after your feet properly day” – but for me it was unavoidable. A necessary evil, though evil isn’t quite the right word, as…
Exciting things afoot for Colab dry shampoo. It has just been voted the very best in its category by Stylist magazine – the dust-free formula and beautiful range of scents completely won the judges over and the Colab team now have a very funky perspex trophy to display in the office. (I’m photographed above at the awards with Miles…
Fancy a little treat-to-self? Here are ten things I’ve found on my shopping travels this week – all of them under a tenner. Can’t get better than that. Unless it was five things for under a fiver, of course – maybe that’s one for next week… First item – and I’ll return to this subject,…
A new, magnificent racehorse of a product joins the Colab Dry Shampoo* stable: Colab Active. I’ve been very excited about this one, not least because it will give me some motivation to do some exercise; a dry shampoo that has been formulated for gym bunnies, sports heroes and people who generally like the outdoors. In actual…
I was going to do a written post on my postpartum hair loss, but actually you can see the sparse patches better on video, so a video it is. I’m thoughtful that way. And look I know that my hair loss isn’t drastic – not by any means – but so many people have expressed an interest…
