Instagram catch-up and I promise I haven't fallen off of the face of the planet...

Hi Everyone.

I don't know where the last few weeks have gone but I do know that I've hardly been around either here or on YouTube. I can only apologise and thank you for sticking around. It's a little calmer around these parts now and there should be more activity going forward!

I haven't completely fallen off the face of the planet though...

I took Max and Ava to Tanya's new launch where.....

they hung out with some of my favourite people....

House porn. That is all.

This is beautiful...

Poor Max. 'Smell this.'

Carluccio's....

gives me joy.......

New from Nude next year...

Antonia Burrell and I were among the judges at the Stylist Skincare Awards

Gave a talk at Mumsnet's Blogfest with Lucy Mangan and Sali Hughes...

Took the kids to see the brilliant Miranda Sings in Brighton. Go. She's BRILLIANT.



Hung out with Sal from Hampton Sun... One of these people needed their roots doing....

and Tony from Anthony for Men...


Went to see the Counting Crows with Ruth where we both looked V ATTRACTIVE not.

Bobbi's Christmas is just beyond....

As are these from beefayre...

Sorted  my storage! This is before.....

Had a blissful few hours at the hairdressers until I read this monstrosity.....

STOP THE NONSENSE. VASELINE? Cotton pad? Really effective? At what? Making your face fall off?



And that would be me circa 1984 captured in a Duran Duran documentary bunking off school to see them arriving at Manchester Airport. As you do.
I'll see you really really really soon on YouTube.

Mumsnet Bloggers Network - Guest Beauty Blog Editor. ME!


You know when you are courted by politicians in the run up to the General Election that you are 'perhaps' slightly influential. 

Mumsnet is the phenomenon that keeps on growing. Currently hitting over 40 million page views a month and 5 million visits, it its one of the busiest sites in the UK. 

The Mumsnet Bloggers Network is a great way to get your blog out there - and a great place to find some amazing things to read. There are literally hundreds of updates a day - from cooking to child-rearing to beauty to relationships - you name it - it's on there - it's completely engrossing and makes a great change from the Sidebar of Shame if you are at your desk in your lunch hour!

And best of all for me - I'm the Official Inaugural Guest Beauty Blog Editor. Very honoured and thrilled to be asked.

For our first ever Beauty Blog round-up, this month we are discussing Winter skincare. Seasonal changes are the most testing time of year for the skin. Especially Autumn into Winter. Does your face suffer from that ‘tight’ feeling when you come in from the cold? Do you want to avoid that red/sore look for party season? Whose products do you like? Do you have any hand-me-down tips from previous generations? What are your favourite products? Why do you prefer some products to others? When do you make the switch over?

We’ll compile our favourite posts – whether they be informative, irreverent or just plain entertaining – and we can’t wait to get started. If you have a post you would like to submit you can tweet us at @mumsnetbloggers and @carolinehirons – please use #mnbeauty – we’ll RT you and link back to you. 

If you're not yet a member of the bloggers network, sign up here: http://www.mumsnet.com/bloggers-network - you don’t need to be a beauty professional – or even a Mum – we’d love to hear from you.

Join us!
