February marks a year since my essay came out in @jellymalin book Unattached. Here’s a snippet, from a woman who’s today undecided on what to do with her Sunday. Suggestions welcome. It’s a glorious sunny day but I’m still recovering from my millionth cold of the season.

To whoever is lucky enough to have my beautiful beagle boy by their side in the big squirrel-filled land in the sky (this is where I told Monty he was going as the life ebbed out of him and his head grew ever heavier in my helpless hands, so my goodness do I hope whoever’s in charge has arranged that for him), here are some things you should know about my favourite being:

- He likes to be tucked into bed. If you’ve done it right, he’ll sigh.

- He has elevated taste; give him steak or similar, and he will refuse kibble for a full week. 

- His favourite song is Dr Beat by Gloria Estefan. 

- He knows precisely what he is due and when. If you fail to honour his schedule, he will ignore you until you have repented sufficiently.

- He talks a lot. Little goose sounds. The odd silly balloon deflating noise. Etc. These all mean different things so it’s important to listen carefully.

- His ears are the softest things your hands will ever touch, and if you cry onto them, your tears will roll off their velvet surface.

- He thinks humans control the weather, so expect him to be cross with management if it’s excessively anything.

- He smells like biscuit. Always. You will never find the precise source of it even if you sniff him all over. 

- He won’t answer the front door or perform any other duties. He firmly considers himself a guest, not an employee. 

- Take two balls everywhere as he won’t return the first one unless you replace it with another or with a seriously good treat, and even that isn’t a guarantee. He cannot be tricked on this front.

- He crosses his paws to tell you he is waiting patiently. It is so refined.

- He taps his paws on the floor to tell you he is waiting impatiently. It is so annoying.

- If you win his trust, he’ll look into your eyes but you can feel him seeing into your soul. 

Please look after him for me. And tell him mummy loves him. So much. He is the best thing I’ve ever stumbled across in all my many internet searches and if tears went up instead of down, the brave little man would be bathed in mine right now.

I won’t offend your eyes with a visual of this subpar pedicure, but know that while this sort of thing masquerades as a simple beauty treatment of little consequence, having someone mess up on this front can leave you in pain, and the health of your feet compromised.

Thank you @jacqueline_kilikita @refinery29uk for listening to my story of woe and for asking me to pull together the ultimate pedicure rules so next time you (and I) go, you’ll know exactly when and why to ask them to do something differently.

Should you find yourself in want of a very, very good night’s sleep, here’s what I’d suggest: book a night @clivedenhouse.

Start by roaming the grounds, imagining the lucky mistress for whom it was built enjoying the fine views and (probably) excellent parties. Think about Nancy Astor, who latterly would preside over Cliveden, berating anyone who enjoyed a drink, driving ferociously around the countryside when she wasn’t being a trailblazing politician. 

Next, have a swim in that very, very famous Profumo pool. Conjure in your mind’s eye the scandals that were sewn as you glide back and forth while accompanied by the friendly ducks who like to cool off in there, too.

After that, try the next @oskiaskincare Deep Sleep treatment during which your body will be stroked and you will invariably sleep before you dine (eat is too pedestrian a word for Cliveden), then off to bed for a good rest. 

I can wholeheartedly recommend all the above because this is precisely what I’ve spent the past 24 hours doing (perfect timing after that harrowing weekend worrying about mum), and it has restored me to my former self. 

Other things that caressed my senses and will perhaps appeal to you: the civilised gong for summoning guests to dinner, throwing open the dash windows in the morning to watch the mist retreating from the lawn, the intricacy of that staircase, and losing myself in Guy de Maupassant’s short stories.

After that, try the next @oskiaskincare Deep Sleep treatment during which your body will be stroked and you will invariably sleep before you dine (eat is too pedestrian a word for Cliveden), then off to bed for a good rest. 

I can wholeheartedly recommend all the above because this is precisely what I’ve spent the past 24 hours doing (perfect timing after that harrowing weekend worrying about mum), and it has restored me to my former self. 

Other things that caressed my senses and will perhaps appeal to you: the civilised gong for summoning guests to dinner, throwing open the dash windows in the morning to watch the mist retreating from the lawn, the intricacy of that staircase, and losing myself in Guy de Maupassant’s short stories.
Should you find yourself in want of a very, very good night’s sleep, here’s what I’d suggest: book a night @clivedenhouse.

Why must reaching so many health/wellbeing goals be contingent on putting the body in colder than cold environments? In any case, I followed orders @zem.altea, then, mercifully, found the sauna was a mere stone’s throw away.

I also did a great many other things, and revelations were had.

Full review to follow, and I’ll share here when it’s out, but in the interim here are some more photos should you be curious about the newest medical wellness facility on the block.

Now, to go and see mum in hospital…

P.s. am wearing tinted moisturiser and concealer in this photo, and Pam did her thing a week ago to give it glow.

Here’s a rarity online: skincare advice from someone who’s bo Read More

An armful of recent moments and recommendations… 

1) Victor Hugo’s exhibition at the Royal Academy. Well worth seeing. This, of Hugo’s thumbprints rather resembling heads looking down a well, I found arresting.

2) … and, downstairs, Brasil. Colour and energy, very welcome to temper Hugo’s more macabre scenes.

3) A new skirt via @ediitstore. Am uncommonly fond of this sort of shape, enjoy a balloon of fabric encircling my legs.

4) This is my sister’s charm bracelet. It is in all regards superior to mine, but she won’t let me have it. I think some stealing is in order.

5) … and she’s careless with jewellery and may well lose it if I don’t relieve her of it; here’s my dad spending Easter unknotting her necklaces.

6) I visit a lot of cemeteries, but this particular gravestone has always stood out to me and I visit it often.

7) Eliza having her second ever manicure at @swanky_london while I did some Godmothering while @lisaoxenham went to a scan.

8) The new @diorbeauty liquid eyeliner: YES. Pair it with @patmcgrathreal Fetisheyes mascara for real impact.

9) @ilovelash stash. We tweaked the shape of my lashes this time, something Teresa does with ease because she’s a proper expert.

10) EMS training at @epulsive to shock my muscles a bit.

11) @thegrovehotel with @qmsmedicosmetics, who now offer their excellent facials there.

12) @willjhosie leaving drinks, where we both took the same picture in the same mirror because, well, wouldn’t you?

13) @phantomopera with @isoldewrites. Perhaps my 30th time, though unquestionably there will be more.

14) @tirolerhutrestaurant, my forever favourite London haunt.

15) Make-up that was fully hailed on but which stayed put thanks to @hudabeauty setting spray. A triumph.

16) @holycarrotrestaurant for nutrients and a catch up with @teresatarmey 

17) @wisteria_cottage_life_ came to London and we mostly lounged and ate, bar…

18) … a trip to the Edwardians exhibition at Buckingham Palace. So many personal artefacts, like this gift from Wilde.

19) @austenwestend with @pamelanicolemarshall. How anyone in that show keeps a straight face I’ll never know.

20) … and, finally, @coworthpark to do a make-up client today.

20) … and, finally, @coworthpark to do a make-up client today.
An armful of recent moments and recommendations… 

1) Victor Hugo’s exhibition at the Royal Academy. Well worth seeing. This, of Hugo’s thumbprints rather resembling heads looking down a well, I found arresting.

2) … and, downstairs, Brasil. Colour and energy, very welcome to temper Hugo’s more macabre scenes.

3) A new skirt via @ediitstore. Am uncommonly fond of this sort of shape, enjoy a balloon of fabric encircling my legs.

4) This is my sister’s charm bracelet. It is in all regards superior to mine, but she won’t let me have it. I think some stealing is in order.

5) … and she’s careless with jewellery and may well lose it if I don’t relieve her of it; here’s my dad spending Easter unknotting her necklaces.

6) I visit a lot of cemeteries, but this particular gravestone has always stood out to me and I visit it often.

7) Eliza having her second ever manicure at @swanky_london while I did some Godmothering while @lisaoxenham went to a scan.

8) The new @diorbeauty liquid eyeliner: YES. Pair it with @patmcgrathreal Fetisheyes mascara for real impact.

9) @ilovelash stash. We tweaked the shape of my lashes this time, something Teresa does with ease because she’s a proper expert.

10) EMS training at @epulsive to shock my muscles a bit.

11) @thegrovehotel with @qmsmedicosmetics, who now offer their excellent facials there.

12) @willjhosie leaving drinks, where we both took the same picture in the same mirror because, well, wouldn’t you?

13) @phantomopera with @isoldewrites. Perhaps my 30th time, though unquestionably there will be more.

14) @tirolerhutrestaurant, my forever favourite London haunt.

15) Make-up that was fully hailed on but which stayed put thanks to @hudabeauty setting spray. A triumph.

16) @holycarrotrestaurant for nutrients and a catch up with @teresatarmey 

17) @wisteria_cottage_life_ came to London and we mostly lounged and ate, bar…

19) @austenwestend with @pamelanicolemarshall. How anyone in that show keeps a straight face I’ll never know.

20) … and, finally, @coworthpark to do a make-up client today.
An armful of recent moments and recommendations… 

1) Victor Hugo’s exhibition at the Royal Academy. Well worth seeing. This, of Hugo’s thumbprints rather resembling heads looking down a well, I found arresting.

2) … and, downstairs, Brasil. Colour and energy, very welcome to temper Hugo’s more macabre scenes.

3) A new skirt via @ediitstore. Am uncommonly fond of this sort of shape, enjoy a balloon of fabric encircling my legs.

4) This is my sister’s charm bracelet. It is in all regards superior to mine, but she won’t let me have it. I think some stealing is in order.

5) … and she’s careless with jewellery and may well lose it if I don’t relieve her of it; here’s my dad spending Easter unknotting her necklaces.

6) I visit a lot of cemeteries, but this particular gravestone has always stood out to me and I visit it often.

7) Eliza having her second ever manicure at @swanky_london while I did some Godmothering while @lisaoxenham went to a scan.

8) The new @diorbeauty liquid eyeliner: YES. Pair it with @patmcgrathreal Fetisheyes mascara for real impact.

9) @ilovelash stash. We tweaked the shape of my lashes this time, something Teresa does with ease because she’s a proper expert.

10) EMS training at @epulsive to shock my muscles a bit.

11) @thegrovehotel with @qmsmedicosmetics, who now offer their excellent facials there.

12) @willjhosie leaving drinks, where we both took the same picture in the same mirror because, well, wouldn’t you?

13) @phantomopera with @isoldewrites. Perhaps my 30th time, though unquestionably there will be more.

14) @tirolerhutrestaurant, my forever favourite London haunt.

15) Make-up that was fully hailed on but which stayed put thanks to @hudabeauty setting spray. A triumph.

16) @holycarrotrestaurant for nutrients and a catch up with @teresatarmey

I’m one of those unfortunates for whom clear skin isn’t a given. Not for me any vice; my skin quite literally chucks it back in my face in the form of spots galore.

But living monastically isn’t always an option, particularly in London, so over the years I’ve learned the roadmap of the bigger things my skin likes and detests. 

On the former: PHAs, red light therapy, cleanliness, romance, omegas.

On the latter: sugar, late nights, too many actives, long flights.

This post isn’t about those things though but rather about the biggest gun in my arsenal since 2017 when things go awry: the inimitable @pamelanicolemarshall @mortarandmilklondon. 

The combination of her insanely effective treatments which encompass firefighting alongside long term management coupled with sound advice and zero judgement (even when I’ve attacked my skin) makes her entirely unique.

This is a photo of me after seeing her with a layer of @lisaeldridgemakeup Skin Tint on (and other make-up of course as I was going to a meeting). The glow you see is nothing to do with me; it is her signature thing, leaving skin madly radiant.

But, look, she’s very busy and for some out of price range, in which case the next best thing to putting your face in Pam’s hands is her online consultations or PHA Barrier Repair serum, which my skin cries out for twice daily like a baby bird in its nest desperate for a worm.
