Every time I log in to write one of these updates I think to myself please let me have uploaded something since the LAST update post! Time just goes so fast. All my working hours seem to get sucked into A Model Recommends. But change is afoot, dear readers, for I am planning a big re-shuffle and will…
I flew back to France this week for a really lovely job. The 4am start wasn’t so lovely, but the shoot itself was brilliant – my first proper bit of filming, with full hair and makeup and so on, since having the baby. The stylist shoehorned me into the smallest corset that mankind has ever seen, which was quite nerve-wracking, as I’m…
Usually I’m happiest with my makeup when I haven’t thought too much about it. It’s total sod’s law, but my looks seem to always turn out much better when I don’t video them! I think it might actually be because when I’m filming I use a small compact mirror – and that’s only every now…
I managed to film a video! That’s something of a milestone for me, because although it has only been six weeks since Baby AMR arrived, I’ve felt a bit like my previous life was completely lost to me and I’d never again have the time to do anything other than sleep, change nappies and take…
This week I’m a guest on the brilliant food channel, Sorted Food. They are doing a series on performance food, talking to people who have jobs that rely on a good diet, and I’m the latest guest. An honour, because I’ve watched Sorted Food grow into a mega-channel on Youtube and it really does provide brilliant cooking content. And…
Something of a momentous post, this one, because today is the day that my dry shampoo range, COLAB, launches. What dry shampoo range? I hear you cry. This is the first I’ve bloody heard about it! Apologies, my dearest readers, but I’ve been under a bit of a gagging order and haven’t been able to talk about the range…
Just as a bit of fun; I filmed an “Ask Me Anything” video. You ask, I answer. (Within reason, of course! Ha!) I’ll be doing another one soon, so click through and leave your questions on Youtube, or you can pop them in the comments section below if that’s easier. I’ll read through them all…
I found these brilliant photos on my desktop – they were taken by Francois Durand when I was at the Cannes Festival in May. I was in the Dior suite getting ready to walk the red carpet – and if there was ever anything that was going to make you feel nervous about walking the carpet, it…
This video is a bit of a “precursor” to the full-length foundation guide that I’m going to film in the New Year. I’ve picked out my five most-used foundations and bases and shown them in action, along with a little blurb about each and the kind of coverage and finish that they give. I’d like…
I have been going through my old polaroid pictures. I want to scan them into my computer before they fade or get lost in the mountains of papers and old bits and bobs that I have hoarded beneath the spare bed! This polaroid is from 2002, I think. Perhaps even the end of 2001. It…
Illness update: I am still quite unwell. It’s starting to do my head in a bit now, but I think (please, please) that I’m now on the mend. I hope so, because I have to fly to Vienna later for a catalogue shoot tomorrow and that will not be fun if I’m not 100%! In other…
I had a load of random video clips from my trip to Morocco last week, so I sat there for ages and thought, how can I possibly make something publishable from this old pile of crud? This is the result! Haha, I jest, somewhat, it’s not really a pile of crud, but when I looked over it…
I did a funny old trip to Oslo in October – landed at 1pm and was back on the plane by 8pm! We literally had about four hours to do three pictures – each with full hair and makeup. It was for Stella magazine – I have posted one of the shots below. It makes…
A peek behind the scenes at my latest shoot…

This is what I think I would look like if I decided to bake bread whilst wearing Dermalogica’s Vitamin Recovery Masque.
I thought that I would be a colour chameleon just like Linda E., but sadly that was not the case.
Three images from my latest shoot; an exclusive preview, you might call it, if the definition of exclusive preview happens to be “anyone with an internet connection is allowed to have a look”. I have posted them up because: a) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the hair and make-up b) It’s very now with its nudes…
