I’m fussy about my nightwear. I’m completely allergic to nightwear with patterns, slogans, teddy bears or Disney characters on them and I don’t like things with scratchy lace bits either! I’m also the wrong shape, in a country of pear-shaped … Continue reading

Recommended: Phone and Watch Charger
For 2025 I got an Apple watch, it’s great but it needs charging far more than my old fitbit did. I have a cable for my watch and my phone, but I was getting tired of the mess of them … Continue reading

Recommended: Altruist Face Moisturiser
I’ve been happily using a Nivea face cream for a couple of years, it’s great (not £3.99 anymore but fine). Last year, I noticed that my eyelids were sore and red. I couldn’t work it out, tried excluding various things … Continue reading
