When I was a kid I hated bath time. For no real reason at all, being submerged in warm, soapy water to bathe was probably the worst, most traumatic thing I could imagine experiencing. But not anymore! Now I’m grown up and finding enough time to fill the tub and enjoy a bath is pure … Continue reading
It feels like every day my lip balm goes missing (you too?) and I end up digging through my handbag and coat pockets for one that I just know is in there… somewhere. And when it’s a lip balm emergency I’m pretty happy to apply just about anything, but to avoid that I tend to stock up on products I … Continue reading
When the team at Pravera sent me an email to feature Benecos products on my blog, I wasn’t sure what to expect. First of all I hadn’t heard of Benecos, and second the price put me off – as much as I love cheap and cheerful, I won’t feature products on my blog that can’t … Continue reading
I’ve lived in London for nearly five years now (when did that happen?!) and during that time nothing quite says ‘it’s the weekend!’ to me like brunch and a wander through a market. I don’t do this nearly as often as I used to – mostly due to being ‘grownup’ and having to do ‘errands’ … Continue reading
Just as scheduled, February’s My Little Box has arrived and it’s ever so charming! I’m pleased that it’s not a love-themed box for Valentine’s Day, but instead the theme is My Little Frenchie Box, after Inès de la Fressange, a French model, aristocrat, fashion designer, and perfumer.

Lipstick Queen is one of those brands I’d heard lots about, so when I saw this trio of lippies for half price in the Christmas sales I didn’t have to think twice – I knew I was going to be bringing them home to try! Continue reading
One of the benefits of growing up along the New England coast is always being near a beach. And Gooseberry Island and Horseneck Beach in Westport, Massachusetts, have always been two of my favourite places to go. As a kid I loved building sandcastles and chasing waves, in my teens the beach is was where we all went … Continue reading
Ever since I tried the Alexa for Eyeko Eye Do Mascara and Liquid Eyeliner last summer I’ve wanted to write about them, but just never seemed to get around to it… until now. Continue reading
It’s not often that I indulge in fine dining, but back in January I found myself in gorgeous restaurants for three course meals three times in one week – first for our wedding anniversary, then for my mum-in-law’s birthday, and then to try out One Canada Square with blogging buddy Mitra.
