baby chatter: beyond six months
October 15, 2012
Morning beauties! My little lovely is eight months and since she reached the six month mark I’ve been thinking about, among other things, the question of work: returning to full-time work, part-time work, work full stop. There is something about the six month milestone that is as significant for the new mother as it is […]
weleda wild rose body oil & teething powder
August 27, 2012
A little something for baby, a little something for mama. Baby girl has well and truly cut her first two teeth and after reading so many positive reviews about the Weleda Teething Powder I decided to purchase for when the next tiny teeth start their journey. As for the Wild Rose Body Oil, well I […]
motherhood: a social leveler
August 13, 2012
Baby madame is almost six months old, a milestone that has caused me to reflect on a few aspects of new motherhood, among them the things I did not expect. Today one thought that keeps nudging at me is the idea of motherhood and humanity. Of course, motherhood is humanity in its purest form. It […]
dreaming about a friendship
July 29, 2012
New York boutique owner Maryam Nassir Zaheh recently recalled in The Glow that an astrologer once told her that a mother and child find and choose one another before the child is born. She said, ‘it’s incredible to think we are destined to live our lives together, and that my child will be my friend […]
thoughts on beauty, with baby
June 1, 2012
My regular readers will know that of late I have been rhapsodising about the virtues of bright lipstick and wake-up skin products and pops of bright blush on too-tired cheeks – these have been my vanity saviours since giving birth to my little girl in February. Yes having a baby has changed the way I […]
three skin pick-me-ups
April 30, 2012
Perfect for tired new mamas (as I have found) or tired non-mamas! 1. Caudalie Beauty Elixir. This smells so happy and refreshing – of perky peppermint – that it is enough of a pick-me-up for its scent alone. But a spritz on clean skin (pre-serums or moisturisers) or after applying makeup lends my skin a […]
baby style inspiration: tickle & hide
April 17, 2012
Becoming a mama has opened up a whole new world of fashion for this style lover – this time of the miniature kind. I am enamoured by all manner of tiny dresses and smocks and rompers and I particularly love baby clothes that carry a sense of the hand-crafted, the classic, the old-fashioned. I love […]
beautiful mamas & babies
April 10, 2012
I spotted this on Goop – a gorgeous website called The Glow that showcases beautifully shot photographs of stylish mothers and their children.I’ve posted a couple of my favourite images; the website also contains interesting and arresting contemplations of motherhood and life. It does prompt me to contemplate my own new role in life of […]
my pregnancy beauty stash
March 27, 2012
I am almost six weeks postpartum so I thought this would be a good time to reflect on the beauty treats that made my pregnancy experience that little bit more indulgent and beautiful. I managed to escape stretch marks (save a few tiny lines that appeared on the underside of my breasts once my milk […]
