Readers, a question has flooded in! Well, a problem, really. For me to solve. This is awesome. Maybe after this I'll at last fulfill my dream of having my own problem page in a magazine or something? It could be called "Agony Amber". Magazine editors: call me! Now, before I put my Agony Amber hat on, a couple of three quick disclaimers: 1. ...
Continue ReadingRemember the Hair Scroo? They're the hair grips from the 90s which I was obsessed with finding a couple of years ago, because they're basically the ONLY thing that actually holds my hair up, and which I'm able to use without hours of arm-aching faffing around. I did eventually manage to track some of these down on eBay - in fact, I'm wearing ...
Continue ReadingTerry: Last night I had a nightmare. I dreamt we were in a car crash. The car rolled over onto its roof, and I was trapped inside it… Me: Wow, that must have been scary! Terry: And then you got out and started taking photos for your blog. [dramatic pause] Me: I’m totally blogging that dream…
Continue ReadingOh my holy hell. After a few weeks of wearing my Invisalign brace on my lower teeth, I thought I was totally prepared for the first tray for my uppers. Sure, the first week or so had been harder than I'd anticipated: while the brace wasn't painful, it had taken me a while to get used to the sensation of having something in my mouth all the ...
Continue ReadingI try my best not to read the Daily Mail - or the Daily Fail, as I like to think of it. Inevitably, any time I follow a link there by mistake, I end up on the site for an hour, clicking from one hideous story to the next and ranting and raving to anyone who will listen about the sheer idiocy that's generally displayed over there in such great ...
Continue ReadingIf you know me in Real Life (as opposed to this fake, imaginary life we all have on the internets), you may want to prepare yourself for the fact that next time you meet me, I'll be speaking a little differently. More specifically, I'll be speaking like a drunk person. I promise I won't actually be drunk. Or, OK, maybe I will be drunk, who ...
Continue ReadingSo, I'm out walking Rubin. I'm NOT wearing a dress, you'll be pleased to know, and neither is he. He is, however, wearing his leash, and because it's one of those extendable ones, and Rubin likes to be as far away from me as he possibly can on his walks (perhaps he's embarrassed by what I'm wearing, who knows?), this leash is stretched ...
Continue ReadingThings you don't want to hear from your husband: "Seriously, you are NOT going out in that, are you?" To be fair to him, I was planning to walk the dog in a dress. (Me, I mean. Not the dog. The dog hardly EVER wears dresses.) This dress, in fact. Because I am nothing if not, er, a sailor. In fairness to me, however, I was also planning to ...
Continue ReadingGiven my obsession with eyelashes, when UK based eyelash-maker extraordinaire Eldora got in touch to ask if I'd like to try out some of their lashes, I naturally jumped at the chance. I asked for some fairly natural looking lashes as, sadly for me, my lifestyle just doesn't often call for the more extravagant feathered or glittery styles the ...
Continue ReadingI know, I know: beauty blogger in "Bumpit review" shocker! It seems like everyone has been trying out these lately, and I'm a little late to the party, but a few weeks ago I finally succumbed to the lure of the Bumpit, which, as most of you will know, is a plastic hair grip designed to create lots of volume, or beehive-style bumps. I bought my ...
