I woke up unable to move and with my arm muscles screaming: what evil atrocity had happened to my person overnight? I did (what they call in the meditation sessions I never get around to doing) a body scan; starting at the toes, moving up to the knees and then the...
I've made some little tweaks to my makeup routine and committed them to video: one of the changes involves my eyebrows, and you might already know about that one, but the other four are relatively new and snazzy. I know that the suspense will be killing you, so let's...
My Mum was horrified when I showed her my newly acquired Finishing Touch Facial Hair Remover. "You can't shave your face!" she cried. "Why can't you just use nail scissors like everyone else?" Pause for effect. Can we please get a show of hands from anyone - anyone at...
First post of 2023 and it's straight in with my current makeup routine and some incredible new makeup discoveries. I don't use the word incredible lightly, either: some of these products have completely changed my makeup routine and had my husband asking questions...
Yes, it has reached that point again: the time when we wonder where the hell December has disappeared to and why we can't be like those other people who plan their Christmas gift list in August and have it all bought and wrapped by mid-October. But if you're like me...
Haircare is the category that's most likely to let me down, beauty-wise. It tends to give me heated tools that I can't manage to operate, "moisturising" shampoos that leave my hair feeling like wire, styling foams and mists and mousses that need to be blow-dried in by...

If you're trying to save money on your skincare but don't want to compromise on the quality of your routine then I have some good news for you: I've rounded up some of the best budget cleansers and they're all products I happily use (and repurchase) on a regular...
This trend for the dribbling of skincare products directly onto the face really bemuses me. Ditto foundation dribbling. Pipettes are enough of a faff to use when you drop the product into the palm of your hand, why on earth would you ever attempt to pipe the product...
At the very real risk of boring myself to death with the same makeup look over and over again I thought I had better jiggle things up a bit. There's nothing wrong with "sticking to what suits you" when it comes to putting your maquillage on but sometimes there's a...
I've been doing some quick little makeup videos on Instagram and Youtube and thought I'd start to share them here. I love before and afters, the transformation from normal to glam or from washed-out to a bit more lively. And this video just shows you the process in...
It's "neutrals with a hint of pink time"! Yes, that's right: whilst the whole world of social media experiments with the mandatory seasonal shades of russet and bronze, I'm still stuck in bronzer mode with a little bit of pretty pink to eradicate signs of tiredness...
