Having Your Skincare Cake and Eating It.

Having Your Skincare Cake and Eating It.

One of these pots is (was) a cake. Isn't that an ingenious way of getting someone to take notice of a product launch? With about seventy trillion new face creams bursting onto the market every week, it's sometimes difficult to keep up! Nothing like a face cream...

Sunday Tittle Tattle

Sunday Tittle Tattle

Sunday Tittle Tattle (noun?): everything from the week that I have forgotten to post about, in easy brunch-sized chunks... 1) Well, here we are, back with another Tittle Tattle like nothing even happened in between! Whoo. So far, so good. An update for you: the...

Mother-and-Daughter Spa Testing

Mother-and-Daughter Spa Testing

Whenever I go somewhere with my Mum we end up in fits of giggles. Whether it's the supermarket, the doctor's surgery (don't ask) or simply a trip up the road to the butchers, we just can't help ourselves. So it was never a good idea for us to begin testing spas...

Fitflops

Fitflops

I often stop to help people with their prams and cases and so on when I'm in tube stations - usually because nobody else will and I just feel far too sorry for them. Don't get me wrong, I'm no 'good samaritan', but I won't just waltz past somebody who obviously needs...

June Beauty Round-Up

"And here we have..." Bonjour! Happy Saturday! Here I am with my monthly round-up of beauty launches, favourite products, interesting and brilliant purchases...and I'm punctual as ever! Sit and have a cuppa and watch me blather on - you know you want to! Two things to...

Sunday Tittle Tattle: We’re Done Here

Sunday Tittle Tattle: We’re Done Here

I think I need a lawyer. Not because I've done anything illegal recently (unless plotting to kill the man who keeps strimming his bushes at night counts. Who the hell strims in the dark? Surely as an activity that presents so many dangers that it makes the whole...

Life Update: Say It’s Not True!

Life Update: Say It’s Not True!

Well, life is hurtling along and Baby One (four and a half years old) asks for "quiet time" so that she can "write her thoughts in her diary" and Baby Number Two (three today!) has started sleeping in a big boy bed. Now listen; some of you might be thinking that three...

This Year’s Family Holiday: The Lake District

This Year’s Family Holiday: The Lake District

This post is what it says in the title: a post about my family holiday to the Lake District. We actually went in June and I meant to write it up then, but it takes me half a year to do anything these days. And it would have been completely forgotten had I not gone...

Life Update: End of the Baby Era

Life Update: End of the Baby Era

A fleeting break from tradition with this life update because I'm going to be talking mostly about me. My favourite subject. (Joke: I hate talking about myself unless I've had too much wine. In fact, I tend to stop people in their tracks when they try to ask me what I...

Life Update: Red Wine and Muffin Puppets

Life Update: Red Wine and Muffin Puppets

I always have such good intentions for this monthly life update post (in fact even writing the first part of this sentence seems very deja vu), but however hard I try to do things in advance I always end up compiling it at the nth hour on the 3rd day of the month. (It...
