Another facial to add to my list of favourites; the Valmont Energy Ritual at Harrod’s Urban Retreat. I was at Harrods to have a little introduction to Valmont’s latest product launch, the Time Master Intensive Program, which is a month-long treatment of powerful serums that tackle signs of ageing. I’ve simplified it greatly, there, but the programme costs £827 so it’s […] read more...
This post is very much a continuation of an earlier subject: I mentioned a couple of months ago that I had found a link between my bad skin breakouts and drinking milk. No milky, no breakouts. If you want to read more about that then the first post is here. Please do read it (it […] read more...
I’ve photographed this clay face mask “warts ‘n all” – it’s a black, messy little number in the most pristine, glamorous-looking pot. Packaging-wise, it’s the equivalent of letting your labrador run through a swamp before settling down on your white leather Ligne Roset couch. Though the Glamglow pot can easily be wiped clean, I suppose, whereas the […] read more...
OK, so they might not be right at the lowest end of budget budget beauty finds, but all of the products in this video are extremely fairly priced. And good. I use the Weleda Calendula Bath quite frequently, now – it’s not the most attractive product when it squits its way from the bottle, but it does soothe the […] read more...

It has been a while since I did a health and diet post so I thought I’d provide you with a little video update with the bits and bobs that I’ve changed recently. You can just skip straight to the video if you like, but I’m going to briefly run through everything that I discuss […] read more...
Are you keeping up with all of the brilliant recipes coming out with Feel Good Food? There’s one a week! I’ve been filming again this week – another eight recipes – so lots more to keep you going. I know that many of you love cooking, so I hope that you find these useful. I definitely […] read more...
I know that the healthy eating tips in the following video are pretty much common sense, but sometimes I do think that we lose sight of the basics when we think about health and diet. There are so many (frankly ridiculous) diets out there and some of the advice on the internet is absurd! It’s […] read more...
I would never in a million years think about creating an entire Japanese lunch in a Bento Box. It screams complicated, does it not? However, break all of the components down into simple steps and it’s not at all difficult. Admittedly, I had a properly brilliant chef doing most of the work, but still… I’ll definitely be […] read more...

Stupidly, I tidied my beauty room in a hurry. I mean “tidy” in the loosest possible sense of the word, because what I really did was open up all of the drawers in my storage units and sweep everything into them. This doesn’t bode well for any product that has less than eye-catching packaging; I fear that […] read more...
In this video I’m just trying to mix things up a bit, makeup-wise, as you do. I usually go for a nude lip on a night out, but I was in a rush when I filmed this look and I wanted to have something a little more bold and dramatic, something that would provide a […] read more...
I thought that I’d share with you my current foundation “routine”. Obviously it varies a little from time to time; I adapt it to suit the weather, how my skin’s looking and the products that I want to test out, but this is the general gist of it. I’ve used a radiance primer (Laura Mercier’s) […] read more...
A voiceover video for you because I can’t yet talk for more than two minutes without breaking out into the most unladylike, honking cough. It’s actually surprisingly difficult, when making videos, to get all of the different elements to come together without error; to get your words right at the same time as keeping the […] read more...
