THE SEVEN CS: ESSENTIAL SPRINGTIME SKINCARE HEROES

We've recently experienced a short heatwave in the UK. If you're from here, you probably noticed it. If not, you might not be aware.

SUNDAY WHISPERINGS: I SHRANK THE TOP SWEATER OF 2017!

I had quite the surprise this morning when I opened the dryer to find my favorite jumper had shrunk down to a third of its original size. Mr. AMR, in his usual fashion, had tossed all the wet clothes into the dryer without checking them first. Now, I don’t want to criticize Mr. AMR’s housekeeping…

An In-depth Look at Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter Foundation

Exploring the Coziest Winter Sweaters

I've started my sweater shopping in full swing, trying to keep my heating costs low since my house seems to drain any warmth that comes in. Right now, I'm bundled up in a vest, a t-shirt, a long-sleeved tee, and a wool turtleneck jumper, and I've only just taken off my coat. I can't wait…

Crafting My London Ensemble with Karen Millen

A Guide to Smoothly Avoiding the Wrong Way to Defuzz Your Face

When I showed my mom my new Finishing Touch Facial Hair Remover, she was shocked. "You can't shave your face!" she exclaimed. "Why not just use nail scissors like everyone else?" Seriously, can anyone out there say they use nail scissors to manage facial hair? I bet not. It's like using a chainsaw for a small…
