If you’ve ever wondered how hardy kids’ clothing is, then let me tell you that it does not withstand being repeatedly sandpapered. A couple of weeks ago we went to visit Mr AMR’s cousin and she had a ramp in the garden for her little dog, who is quite old and can’t jump up and…
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) Well I’m not at all sure what happened to this video when I put it up on Youtube; the views crept in so slowly I thought that maybe I’d accidentally put some kind of explicit content warning on it or applied an…
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) Well here’s a lovely new foundation for lovers of lightweight makeup: Clarins Skin Illusion Natural Hydrating Foundation. It’s a brand new makeup launch and it replaces Clarins’ original Skin Illusion, which came in a more traditional, pump-action glass bottle. I liked that…
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) Well it looks as though we have ourselves a new beauty series; I uploaded a Youtube video about supermarket beauty on Sunday night and it was an instant hit. It was a video I had been meaning to do for a while…
I completely forgot to post anything up about my little trip to Devon for my ten year wedding anniversary. (I know it should be “our trip to Devon” and “our wedding anniversary” but as Mr AMR prefers to skulk stubbornly in the shadows I take pleasure in excluding him grammatically as well as visually. Happy…
I feel as though everyone I know is now suddenly ready for the Autumn. Everyone is content that we’ve “had a good summer”, even though it’s still August, and they’re posting pictures of turning leaves and cosy scarves and talking about where they’re spending Christmas. I can never have enough summer, but I have to…
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) I’ve found this review surprisingly difficult to write considering that this is one of the very best makeup products I’ve used in years. I think it’s perhaps because I’m not quite sure where to place Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter; is it…
I’ve had lots of questions (and complaints) about where the Sunday Tittle Tattle has disappeared to. It hasn’t disappeared, it’s just that the Sunday part of it seemed to be a bit irrelevant, seeing as though I can talk about nonsensical random stuff on any day of the week. I suppose that I couldn’t see why I needed to…
This month has been dominated, both emotionally and practically, by the arrival of Angelica’s Big Girl Bed. It has taken up a lot of time, this Big Girl Bed; first, choosing it (I was torn between buying an antique and getting a new one), then working out what else we needed to go with it…
Interesting fact: when I went to write the title of this post I couldn’t remember what year we were in! I typed 2017, but that didn’t look quite right and then I typed 2019 but that just seemed very unfamiliar and then my mind went blank and I simply couldn’t recall any sort of useful…
This Eucerin Eye Cream has been mentioned many times over the past couple of years, but it’s never had its own review page. And seeing as though it can be relatively difficult to find good eye products with added sunscreen, I thought that it would be handy to have a proper review in one, easy-reference…
This week’s dress (seeing as though dress posts seem to be becoming a “thing” on here!) is the print pleat shirt dress from Teatum Jones at Label Mix*. Label Mix is an own-brand collection at Next that launched last year. The collections are produced in collaboration with “rising star” designers and they come out with…
It’s been over a year since my first (and last) “seasonal” skincare update, so that idea for a regular feature worked out well, didn’t it? Why do I have such an aversion to my own deadlines? I can spend three hours thinking and writing about sink design, a topic so obscure and irrelevant to this blog…
I feel as though I’m bombarding you with dresses at the moment, but the sales are still on and every time I buy something good it immediately sells out. And I thought that I was getting in there early with these Luna and Lola dresses from Whistles, but they’ve just gone into the sale as well! I…
I inadvertently opened up what can only be described as a “beauty time capsule” the other day and was almost knocked sideways by the smell that came out of it. I was looking for some bikini hair removal cream (as you do, once a year if you’re me – it’s wedding anniversary time!) and stumbled…
There’s not a lot to say about this gorgeous All Saints dress other than the fact that I love it so much I bought it twice. Actually I bought it once, sent it back because I thought I wouldn’t get any wear out of it, looked over the photos on this page again and then…
The title of this video should really be What’s In My Makeup Bags, plural, not Bag, singular, because – at last count – I have four different versions on the go. The first one (my special edition Swag Bag with Scamp & Dude – all profits go to my chosen charity, the Genesis Research Trust) is in…
I did some exercise yesterday and thus ended the fitness dry spell I’ve been enjoying for well over half a decade. I can account for around three years of that dry spell (pregnancy, new baby, pregnancy, new baby) but I’m not quite sure what I was doing for the years at either end. I think…
