I just want to put it out there that I LOVE the Satsuma Shimmer lip balm from The Body Shop. It reminds me of being a teenager, when we all used to rock up to lessons with our little pots of Body Shop balm! Using the Satsuma Shimmer was just [...]

Obviously it was a “working lunch”. Obviously. Whenever I get together with @legslonglength, as she is known on Twitter, we do nothing but work. Ahem.
Ruth (@legslonglength) and I have been lunching together at inordinately expensive places for over ten years now; we have made it into something [...]

In a way, I wish that I had never discovered Sisley. You may remember how I was introduced to the brand (that fateful day in the Maldives) you may not - here’s the little tale: How I Met Sisley. Life was a little easier when I lived in [...]

I was lucky enough to be interviewed for Teen Vogue in America just before Christmas, and the Q&A session has just been published! The accompanying images are rather random (and I sent so many lovely ones to pick from!) but hey – you can’t have it all! I am mid-word [...]

My apple earphone rant continues…
The wonderful SiGod (until now anonymous reader but SO glad he popped his head above the parapet! I assume he’s a he….SiGod are you a he?) has put together this amazing iWarning sticker for me. It made me laugh so much that I simply had to [...]

I mentioned this mascara in the August Beauty Round-Up but I have recently rediscovered it. I had felt that the comb wand took a little bit of getting used to, but I am pleased to say that with an additional bit of practice, Clinique High Lengths is now one [...]

I have gone a little bit AHA crazy recently. After the Liquid Gold success story, I wanted to try out some other exfoliants and see how they compared. (For those of you didn’t follow my little summer skincare saga, have a look at my ‘skincare miracles‘ [...]

On Sunday night I attempted to watch Birdsong, which is a new BBC drama, with my Mum. It’s an adaptation of a novel by Sebastian Faulks which you may or may not know – that’s not important. What is important is that it’s quite a serious and sad old story, [...]

This video is pretty self-explanatory, I think – it describes my hair routine from washing to the end of drying. If you’re reading this on your daily email you may have to click through to the website to watch the video – I didn’t realise this before, so sorry for [...]

***UPDATE: You’d think it’d be safe to write a post a day in advance, but no! Apparently not! So the post below is now basically a teaser as to what you could have got had I posted this yesterday instead! Doh. Sorry. The Verbena offer still stands though…***
I have been [...]

If you follow me on Twitter you’ll have seen me announce the arrival of Mr Bear. He’s my new kitten. A British Shorthair. I adopted him from a wonderful lady in Devon and he is now thirteen weeks old. He’s absolutely mental – he spends half the time trying to [...]

The gorgeous people at Cult Beauty have given me an exclusive free shipping code for A Model Recommends readers. Useful, because usually you have to spend over £100, which sometimes makes it annoying if you only want to buy something small! The code is valid for all customers wherever they are in the [...]

After my big old rant about Apple earphones (see last Wednesday’s post) I decided to actually find one of the (many) pairs of them that I have stowed away in various boxes and drawers. (After owning four iPhones and three iPods in my time, I have quite a collection – none [...]
Continue Reading →It is with great sadness that I declare The Forum closed. (OK, perhaps not great sadness – it’s not like we were all on there 24/7, was it?! But still, it’s kind of sad.) It was an absolute nightmare trying to keep track of spammers and remove their posts – even with every [...]
