This video contains an AD for Sky Kids who are running their At Home Summer Camp. Sky Kids has over 5000 shows and quizzes covering everything from entertainment to fitness and music to drawing. It’s designed to keep kids actively engaged and doing creative stuff rather than just sitting inert in front of the telly. (Though there’s room for that too, when you’re in desperate need of some peace and quiet!)
To access the content just use your Sky Glass or Sky Q and say “Summer Fun Has Just Begun”. Sky Kids has family controls so that you can set age limits and screen time and stop kids from messing with the settings. They’ve thought of just about everything….just add snacks.

Some potential fixes I've found really helpful if sunscreen breaks you out. Also worth looking at if you're after sunscreen for acne prone skin! See here for much more detail and product links: ruthcrilly.co.uk/spf-problem-sunscreen-for-acne-prone-skin
I've been testing sunscreens for beauty reviews for over ten years now and breakouts seem to be a relatively common problem. Please do click the blog link and have a read!

They are all incredibly lightweight, perfect for people who hate the feel of applying SPF. You'll notice that three of them are SPF30, the other two are higher protection SPF50. Of course SPF50 will always give you better protection, but I think it's equally important to find a product that you LIKE applying so that you apply it daily and you apply enough of it to get the stated protection. (Two "fingers" of product for the face and neck - it's a lot of product!)
I often find the SPF50 products to have a residue that annoys me, even on the most beautifully formulated products and so for everyday use with incidental sun exposure (ie I'm not sat baking hot on a beach or in the garden for long periods!) then SPF30 is fine for me.
Let me know if you have any questions and also drop me a comment if you have a favourite sunscreen I should try!

In this video I have five favourites for you that all do traditional beauty tasks just a little bit differently. Do you use any of these? Have you used them? Let me know in the comments!
AD info: contains affiliate links*, press samples and a paid ad for Hairstory and the brilliant New Wash. Check out their website here for more info: bit.ly/3sjicc0 because they do different washes for different hair types and it’s worth finding your perfect fit! I love their packaging and commitment to reducing plastic waste and the products work so well for me - the New Wash cleans my hair really thoroughly and leaves it silky when I rinse and don’t always get this feeling, even with an intensive conditioner!
The Hair Oil is the newest launch; lightweight and non-greasy it adds a lovely finishing shine and is great used before heat styling. I also use the Hair Balm a lot if I’m just letting my hair dry naturally, but honestly, with the New Wash I can just leave my hair to dry and it looks pretty great.
Have a read of the website and some of the testimonials - I’d be so interested to know how it works for other hair types. I have fine hair but lots of it and it’s quite dry because it’s bleached.
OK, next “thing that does things differently”: the Fragrance Paintbrush from Jo Loves. Ignore the fact that Pink Vetiver is one of the best scents ever produced, the paintbrush is really convenient for applying perfume when you’re on the commute or travelling and don’t want to fumigate everyone around you. You can find it here*: bit.ly/37aSFdz
I am a SERIOUS convert to the Amanda Harrington method of applying fake tan. Using huge buffing brushes and a tan mist, you create these really fine layers of colour that you can build up in certain areas to contour and shape the face and body. You can find the range at SpaceNK here - I use the Honey shade and you go by skin undertone, eg cool or warm*: bit.ly/3s9NQsa
Tri Balm by Frances Prescott is a gorgeous, moisturising and exfoliating cleansing balm but it’s in a stick and not a pot! I know that’s not mind-blowingly revolutionary but it’s pretty unusual and actually, I quite like it. It’s handy for travel and I use a lot less product than if I use a balm in a pot, which is handy because this isn’t cheap by any stretch of the imagination! I just slick a little on and massage it in and if I leave it for a while to let the enzymatic exfoliants get to work then it feels great because it’s so moisturising. Multi-tasking luxury! Find it online here*: bit.ly/3LF0IOJ
Sanctuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle is an ultra rich body moisturiser with a difference. You step straight out of the shower and apply it to totally wet skin. Sounds mad, but it really works and it takes just seconds to splosh it all over rather than laboriously massaging in a body cream. I love it as a time saver! I don’t like some of the versions but the Ultra Rich smells really nice and has shea and cocoa butters in the formula. Find it online here*: bit.ly/37VOeUz

This video contains a paid ad for Nip + Fab for the launch of their brilliant new Hyaluronic Fix Extreme 4 Range. Contains press samples, affiliate links are marked *.
Nip + Fab are often known for their acid skincare products (they’re the market leaders in this category) but the new Hyaluronic Fix Extreme 4 Range is all about hydration. It’s vegan, fragrance free and cruelty free and all of the products are formulated with four active ingredients to intensely hydrate.
Hyaluronic acid is a great, very user-friendly ingredient that’s suitable for all skin types and ages and slots very easily into any skincare routine. All of the products in the Nip + Fab range are lightweight and have a cool, fresh feel - apart from the Cream Cleanser which is gorgeously rich and nourishing, as it should be! That pleases me greatly. It’s actually quite hard to find really good cream cleansers at nice price points.
You can find the whole range online here: nipandfab.com and @bootsuk - prices start at £12.95! Let me know if you have any questions…

.
Ribbed Scoop Vest, £29 - perfect length, perfect fabric and softness. Perfect if you don’t need a bra or have some sort of contraption that makes a halter neck one. I don’t like those much, they feel weird to me! This vest is great quality though* tidd.ly/3zbQX46
AD info: contains paid content for Sky **and my review of the Sky Glass TV. For more info go to: sky.com/glass?dcmp=snt-in-yt-rucr**
So, first household gadget that makes my life easier every single day: #SkyGlass. I’ve been using Sky Glass since last year and can honestly say that there’s nothing I don’t like about it. I thought initially that I was just swayed by its looks: it’s sleek, it has everything built in so no need for extra boxes, dishes, soundbars and it comes in three sizes and five different colours! But it was what was on the inside that became my favourite thing - the amazing search feature and the playlist feature. Rather than searching through each app, one by one, because you can’t remember where such-and-such series is, you simply ask Sky. It finds it instantly. See demo in the video! You can find more info on Sky Glass here: sky.com/glass?dcmp=snt-in-yt-rucr. Three sizes – 43”, 55” and 65”. Five colours Ocean Blue, Dusky Pink, Anthracite Black, Ceramic White and Racing Green (the one we went for)! I think it’s excellent.
Second gadget: Nest. We’ve had a Nest thermostat for about seven years and it makes it really easy to take control of your heating. You can control it remotely, via the app, easily create a schedule so that the heating never comes on when you’re all at work or school and I love that it comes on when you go near to it, a bit like it’s alive. Just marvellous. Highly recommend; we’ve bought four over the years so that should be a fair indication of how good it is!
Wooden toaster tongs. Need no explanation, they do what they do. But they do it so triumphantly that you wonder why toasters don’t just come with these already attached. Every toaster needs a pair. You can find them here*: amzn.to/37sEL6f
Dyson V11 Absolute Vacuum. Cor. This is my all-time favourite hoover and I’ve bought or tested most. It doesn’t come close to the Miele Animal one in terms of power, but the fact I’m not tethered by a cord more than makes up for that. Plus the Miele sucks up everything within a two mile radius which means I’m always retrieving lego pieces from it. I’m sure Dyson probably have a newer model that’s superseded this one, but I can tell you that this has great battery life (it does about 45 mins, which is plenty for me as I hoover often!) and works really well moving from carpet to wood floors or tiles. No need to change the head. Please don’t even ask me about that bloody Eufy robot vacuum which is the bane of my life. Had you asked me a year ago then it would have been in my top 5, now I want to burn it. You can find the V11 here*: bit.ly/3LI8PJW It’s vom-inducingly pricey but I’m hoping it’ll last for life. Chance would be a fine thing!
Brizebox Extra-Large Parcel Box: brizebox.com/product/standalone-extra-large This has genuinely changed my day in that I no longer need to sign for parcels when I’m trying to get work done. It felt constant before, even if it was only a couple of times a day. This means delivery drivers can just pop the parcel into the drawer and then it drops down and is locked inside. And this holds SO MANY PACKAGES. It’s huge. If I wasn’t claustrophobic I’d get in it to show you how big. Obviously pick a size relevant to how much post you get!

Aluminium doors are SMART aluminium Visoglide Plus with 35mm sightlines (for those who might want to know: niche!). They aren’t the prettiest doors I’ve ever ordered in that the build is a bit chunky in places, but they were about a third of the price of the brand I used in the last house and I’m happy with that compromise!

I should add that I’ve had instant success with Derma X Pro personally: it left my hair incredibly soft and manageable with that sort of silky weightiness that makes it look healthy and groomed. The rinse-off balms in the range are particularly interesting; really great nourishment to the scalp to help replenish the weakened skin barrier and easy to rinse off, with no greasy residue. It feels more like skincare than haircare and I love that the focus is the scalp SKIN and not the hair, it really makes you think about the health of your scalp differently.
Derma X Pro is available now - boots.com/head-and-shoulders-dermaxpro-soothe-anti-dandruff-scalp-balm-hair-treatment-145ml-10307054 - the shampoo and conditioner are £6.99 and the balms cost £9.99 each. Any questions, ask below and I’ll attempt to answer!
In this video I also talk about dental hygiene and how it’s so easy to assume you’re doing everything correctly. I’m a big advocate of seeing a hygienist every now and then. It’s expensive (seems to always be more expensive than seeing the dentist for some reason!) but if you can stretch to it even every few years than I think that it can keep you on track with what you’re supposed to be doing. I was missing out one weird section of my teeth for some reason and would never have realised it myself…
And then I finish off with feet. And my new “weekly sandpapering” habit. Rather than waiting until late spring to take off half of my foot skin and leave myself hobbling I’m attempting the “little and often” approach. I have this amazing battery sander that I really enjoy using but beginning to realise that maybe I’m not responsible enough to be trusted with it: I always go over the top! So little and often, gently gently with my manual foot file is probably the way forward. I also treated myself to a gel pedicure and might keep up with that even though it annoys me that the polish on the little toes grows out in a matter of weeks and stays on the big toes for about seven months!

I liked the plunge bralette and the sculpting bralette most. I thought that the various briefs that went with the tops were a bit hit and miss, though the mesh briefs that matched the mesh plunge bra were quite sexy*: bit.ly/30JtVpv

Overall quality was great, but if you’re after a very soft bralette/crop top and don’t want to risk the high charge to return, I really like Boody in the UK. They make these amazing little bamboo tops - I fit either a size small (if I want some uplift!) or medium if I want to be mega comfy*: tidd.ly/3oDN8AY

I’d say sizing is relatively accurate. Some of the dresses feel roomier than others. The only thing that was REALLY noticeably much snugger than anything else was the Nell top. I’ve bought it in a medium instead.

Big strapless bra try-on! I jumped and jogged my way through some strapless bra testing because they all tend to be crap and I wanted to find one that would stay in place. You’re welcome.
.
My personal favourites were the Wonderbra and the M&S Lace Trim bra (the second of the M&S) but overall winners have to be Wonderbra and Boux Avenue for their range of sizes and colours. They both have a selection of nude tones - four and three options, respectively.

If you want to look polished and pulled together with MINIMUM effort then this is the video for you! Some tweaks to your normal routine that take no time but will make loads of difference to the final result.
For me, the Seamless Concealer is a star buy; it’s buildable and blurring and doesn’t sit in fine lines. If you love easy makeup and don’t want to have to spend an age blending and setting then you’ll love this concealer. It’s really flexible and doesn’t sit in fine lines. My favourite AM/PM tinted balm is At The Barre for its peachiness - these balms are just a joy to apply!
Remember to keep a look out for my lash-tinting video on Insta. I’m just working up the courage…. : )
In this video I used:
L'Oreal Elnett Hairspray
Code8 Radiate Balm in Shade 25
Code8 Seamless Cover Concealer in NW15
Code8 AM/PM Tinted Balms in At The Barre, Spin City and Chameleon
Code8 Sophisticate Mascara
