My Mum Says…

My Mum Says…

My mum made me laugh my socks off last night with her new blog post. Reading her stuff is like being inside someone's head who has interior Tourette's. If there is such a thing. When I got to the end and read "Must go as this has taken me over an hour and my hips have...

My Mum Says…"No to Rabbit Size".

Here's my Mum with another review - this time it's Darphin's Predermine Serum. I love the fact that my Mum thinks that this is "quite" expensive. It's £113 for a tiny bottle. Now, Dear Readers, you can see where I get my spending habits from...   "I really like...

My Mum Says… "Yellow! I love it!"

Here's my Mum with her latest installment. I probably won't feel the need to introduce her every time she writes something - in fact it might be wise to distance myself from her a bit just in case she writes anything outrageously slanderous. But for now; take it away...

My Mum Says…

A warm welcome, if you please, for My Mum. She has just turned 60 and has the skin of a baby, and so I have roped her into sharing some of her secrets. She'll be appearing on here every month and providing us with top tips and possibly some anecdotal material. Like...

My Most-Used Skincare Products: 2023

My Most-Used Skincare Products: 2023

In February, it'll be fourteen years since I posted my first blog on this website. Back then, in 2010, the website was called A Model Recommends and each post was a couple of hundred words long, if that. I just wrote exactly what I thought of a product in the...

Life Update: Linen Changes and Losing My Sh*t

Life Update: Linen Changes and Losing My Sh*t

This could be interesting; I've given myself forty-five minutes to write my monthly life update and I'm writing it, perhaps unwisely, from bed. Because it's bloody freezing isn't it? And we have now entered the month of May, which means that it is now illegal to turn...

A Letter to my “First Time Mum” Self | AD

When Vicks BabyRub got in touch with me to see whether or not I would like to write this post, my first thought wasn't "ooh, what would I tell myself as a first time Mum?" but "oh my God, Vicks do a BABY RUB?" I can't tell you how many times I lamented the fact that...

Parenting: My 5 Biggest Mum Guilts

If you're reading this post thinking that I'm about to reveal five one-off occurrences that made me feel really guilty - sort of like a confessional - then think again. This isn't a "come clean" session that will absolve me of my past behaviour and allow me to...

Be still my beating beauty heart: Omorovicza's amazing Queen of Hungary Mist has just launched in the most gorgeous limited edition packaging! Inspired by the architecture at the Rácz spa in Budapest, the pretty pink box and glass bottle are embellished with tiny...

My Birth Story: Elective C-Section

OK this isn't my birth story, obviously - if I was reporting on my own birth it would be just odd. I don't remember any of it. Really the title should be My Story of The Birth, or something, but that sounds weird... Anyway, if you're still reading (forgive the...

Sunday Tittle Tattle: Hello From Ruth’s Mum

Sunday Tittle Tattle: Hello From Ruth’s Mum

Good Morning, everyone, this is Ruth's Mum speaking!!! Ruth has asked me just to do her Sunday Tittle Tattle Post and to keep it short (she’s quite bossy; she does know how circum-loquacious I am, and how etymologically absorbed I can be, and what is the difference...

Mum and Daughter Trip, Part 1: The Hotel

Mum and Daughter Trip, Part 1: The Hotel

And so begins a whole slew of travel posts, because I have been here there and everywhere, recently, and I have lots to report. But I must begin with a little trip back in time - February, Les Etangs de Corot, with my Mum - because we had such an amazing break...
