People of Kent, a question: is it always so horrifically bad trying to get back into London through the Dartford Tunnel? Every time I’ve done it there have been huge queues – a few odd times over the years, but four times in the space of the last two weeks. Always massive traffic jams. Have I just…
I indulged in a spot of clickbaiting at the weekend. I simply couldn’t resist it. Mainly because I was looking forward to the comments from people utterly incensed that I would dare use the word “sex” in a video title (disappointingly few, I must say – I obviously have viewers with a good sense of humour) but also…
Back to the beauty favourites – a good mix of body, hair, skincare and makeup this month. Oh, and some panty liners thrown in for good measure. I deliberated for ages (ten minutes) over whether to include panty liners – they’re not exactly the most glamorous of items – but they have been my most-used…
I intended to do a series of vlogs running up to Christmas (a practice commonly known as “vlogmas”) but – unsurprisingly – I only managed one. So here it is, my one and only Vlogmas 2016. Highlights include a personal dining experience in my own home, courtesy of Hugo Boss (it really was quite brilliant!) and the…
I put a new vlog up on Sunday – I managed to squish my entire working week (“working” in the loosest sense of the word, because I spent quite a lot of time shopping and napping) into seventeen minutes. It skims over the boring stuff and brings you the highlights, namely the baby starting to…
A vlog for you, this time following seemingly random events plucked out of my life over a two week period. I need to get better at this vlogging thing but there are two obstacles in my way: I don’t get out much, and I feel like a total dick if anyone sees me vlogging. Which is…
I was a guest at Lily Pebbles’ (amazing) wedding last weekend and – even though I was running a bit late – I decided to set my camera up on the windowsill in the hotel bathroom and film my makeup. This has to be the shortest “get ready with me” video ever produced, but all of…
Here’s the vlog I made during my little mini-break with Mr AMR last weekend. Excuse the title, I’ve been trying to utilise that very famous Friends quote for many years and it just seemed to be the right moment. WE WERE ON A BREAK! Ah, how I miss the days of Friends. I still watch the episode with Ross in the…
Something weird happened to me just over a week ago and I wanted to put it out there to see if anyone had ever had a similar experience. This, admittedly, would probably be a post better placed on my baby blog, The Uphill, but that would mean logging out of this admin page and logging…
Starting the week with a new vlog. One with a ridiculous title – Haircuts and Butt Hinges – but I didn’t have the energy to think of something better. I was so tired yesterday I barely had the energy to think of a title at all – the video was nearly just called “Vlog”. I was so tired…
I wasn’t going to do a post today, it being a Bank Holiday, but I couldn’t resist another opportunity to bang on about bedtime and sleeping! Ha. Just a chatty little video, here, talking about the things I have on my bedside table. Enjoy – back to beauty tomorrow. A week of bedtimes: my sleep diary……
In this vlog edition (edition? episode?) I go to 10 Downing Street, pluck my eyebrows and cuddle with my cat. It’s a jam-packed one, I’m telling you. We actually had a bit of a scare with Mr Bear the cat at the weekend because he managed to escape into the field at the back of the…
Goodness, what an incredibly lazy post to begin the week with; but if I don’t post this vlog up now I’ll forget and then where will we be? Vlogless! A word which in English means without vlog and in Klingon means prepare for light speed. Vlogless. I had a wonderful time in Cornwall (nearly two weeks…
I “vlogged”. I really can’t stand writing – or saying -that word. I think I said on Twitter that “vlogging” sounds like a Klingon coughing up a lung. Anyway, until someone comes up with something better we’re stuck with it. Vlog. Rhymes with bog, frog and hog. Nice. In this random edition of video diary,…
I completely forgot to post up this vlog: my first week back to work. I actually went back to work last summer, but I worked from home or took the baby with me if I needed to work in town. This week was very different because I worked away without the baby. Which was, on the…
Rather than making excuses in every video as to why I’m not filming in my new office/studio yet, I thought I’d give you a brief video tour. So you could see for yourselves just how very unready it is. Unfit for Youtube Consumption. My office/studio is at the end of my garden, so not too bad…
Here’s Vlogmas Week 2, for those of you who are following my December video diary. I went to two Christmas parties and moaned a lot about how tired I was, but then when I edited my video I took all of the moaning out. Nobody likes a moaner. I don’t like a moaner. But I should tell you,…
I thought I’d give you a little nudge to say that my first “Vlogmas” has gone live. If you feel the inclination, you can follow me to a wedding, watch me edit my Gift Guide videos and meet my little sister, Kate. I hope that you enjoy it – I battle constantly with the idea…
