From the monthly archives: December 2011
I have wheeled out lots of my all-time (and new) favourites to create a bit of an indulgent New Year’s makeup look. The irony here is that I am probably staying in – I have my sister and her husband coming to stay and we are going for a tres [...]

What with the whole horrible business with Ted the Kitten, I totally forgot to tell you about a brilliant experience I had before Christmas! I got taken to Dans le Noir by the haircare brand Phyto for a dinner in the dark! Dans le Noir is a restaurant in Farringdon, [...]

I want to buy this house. It’s an open-plan, six-room mid-century modern house and I would happily live in it. The trouble is, it’s only about twenty inches tall! Don’t you just love it? Here’s the rear elevation:
It’s the Brinca [...]

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas? Are we all busting out of our jeans? Greasy faces and a constant (though low-level) sense of nausea? Good, good…
I have been a bit naughty (what’s new!) and had a rootle-tootle about in the sales. I have bought a couple [...]

OK, I really like this stuff. I have been on a balm-testing mission over the last year or so (it’s an ongoing thing!) and the Mama Mio Omega Wonder-Full Balm is one of the best yet. By balms, I’m not referring to ‘lip’ balms but treatments that are more multipurpose, [...]

This candle smells amazing! Out of all of the candles I shot for my Christmas Candle video, I think that this is one of my favourites. And, as a Brucie Bonus, it’s also probably the least expensive! Result. I’d highly recommend picking one up to get rid of all of [...]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Banging headache? Greasy skin? A belly fit to burst? Can you still taste white wine in your mouth? That ‘special’ cider that you got in the hamper from Auntie Marge? That Duff beer that your other half was given by a [...]

Just a very quick note to thank you all for your support and kind words this year – A Model Recommends wouldn’t exist if you didn’t read it! I appreciate all of your comments and messages, I look forward to them every day. I wish you and your families and friends an extremely [...]

Ha! I look a little bit like I’m sticking my middle finger up at you don’t I? Not intentional. That’s just my lip-gloss-patting pose!
A nice little makeup video to round off the pre-Christmas festivities. It makes a change from bloody gift guides and such! All of the [...]

Many thanks to the indomitable Ruth Spivey of www.goodlegslonglength.com for this most excellent bubbles-buying guide. I don’t know about you lot, but I am at a total loss when it comes to choosing wine and champagne – hopefully Ruth will return on a semi-regular basis to give us some pointers. [...]

You may/may not remember me harping on about a NARS bronzing trio over the summer – it came in an identical zip-up compact just like the one above. What an amazing idea! A zip-up compact! I honestly do not know why more people aren’t making them – there’s no chance [...]

I am over the moon with my little black dress from BA&SH at Monica & Joe! I think it’s really classy! I’ve made a little video of myself wearing it three different ways – a little chic ballet look, a Robert Palmer-esque glam look and a [...]

So sorry to tell you that little Ted was put to sleep yesterday. If you follow on Twitter you probably already know this, but for those of you who don’t, I promised I’d keep you updated.
So that, (as they say), is that. Poor little [...]

Phew. The last gift guide. They have utterly exhausted me! Or I am just exhausted anyway – who knows? The men’s is the shortest because I always find it really difficult to buy for men – most of them don’t really seem that bothered what they get half the time! On the other [...]
