Here’s a post that will please your purse (Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers!): three brilliant skincare products that form a very good, albeit very basic skincare routine, and the whole thing comes in at less than twenty pounds. I did film this for IGTV (link here if you want to watch) but…
Brilliant skincare buys that you can pick up in the supermarket. I won’t dilly-dally about today with silly introductions and off piste distractions because I have limited time: I just hoovered up a load of moths with the Dyson and I don’t want them flying back out of the pipe. Can that happen? I mean, if the…
I’ve been going to town on my skincare testing recently, after a summer of general beauty laziness, and I’ve been focusing on some of the more affordable, results-driven brands that have begun to really make waves in the industry. I’ve whittled it down to a great selection of potent products with no-frills packaging, non-exaggerated beauty…

A new video for you here, but as it’s proved to be such a popular one already I’ll give you a bit of an extended blurb. The Five Beauty Products that Changed My Skin has a slightly confusing title, I suppose, because it’s more about the five “types” of product that have changed my skin. Each product…
Ah, another delve into the secret world of my echoey bathroom for the Five Most Used products of last month. I bet you’ve been waiting for this one, haven’t you? Who doesn’t want a video of me with crazy frizz-hair, filmed from the top of a wonky tripod, with one half of my face in shadow and the…
I have finally moved Baby Ted into his own room, which means that I been able reclaim my old bedtime routine. When there’s a baby in the bedroom, it’s inadvisable to turn a light on after they’ve fallen asleep, so activities such as reading a book – or searching for your glasses so that you…
Now that I have precisely twenty-eight seconds to get ready in the morning, I tend to gather together little groups of staple beauty products that I can rely on to get me through the day. The windowsill in my en suite is my “essentials” storage area – all of the bits and pieces that I know…
I find it relatively easy and enjoyable to test and monitor the results of skincare for dehydrated skin; not only are these types of products usually light and fresh-feeling and suitable for use nearly all of the time, their effects are often pleasingly noticeable and fast. Never too heavy or greasy, they can usually be…
Starting off the new week with a skincare video; here’s a roundup of the beauty products I’ve been slathering on my face in an attempt to beat the dreaded “winter dryness”. I think my horrifically dry and tight skin has been more down to being ill rather than the weather, because until very recently it…
Oh, this little mask is all kinds of wonderful. I haven’t been getting much sleep recently (have I mentioned that? Oh, at least fifteen thousand times. Sorry) and my skin has been a bit dry and crappy and – I don’t know – kind of baggy feeling. As though there’s no plumpness or volume to…
Here’s a new discovery: Time Bomb skincare. I had heard of the brand before, but it grabbed my attention properly when I found out that the range had been snapped up by Selfridges, both in-store and online. I have tried a few of the products and all have been very nice indeed. I have to say that I am…
