I turn 38 this year. Where did that time go? I still feel like I should be on my J1, spending my summers on a beach somewhere in the States drinking beer and eating shellfish for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well that was how it was for me in 2003. Now I am grown up. I’m ageing, gracefully I hope and with that I spend a lot of time on my skincare routine. But honestly, I find I need some…

Firstly, I am losing my voice. Not only from non-stop chat, but from the deluge of rain that swamped London Fashion Week AW20. It wasn’t so much about fashion than it was Storm Dennis taking over the catwalks. Yes, we all got drenched. But that did not phase the fash pack, including me, from getting to see a preview of next season. In my first blog post containing my highlights, I’m sharing some of high points from the catwalk in…

One major work goal for me this year was to get back to the reason I got into blogging in the first place – to write. In a new addition to my blog, I am delighted to include chats with some of fashion and beauty’s key figures to learn more about them, their brands, their work ethos. In the first of such chats, I got to talk to Nicolas Travis, founder of cult skincare brand, Allies of Skin which is…

There is no doubt that seeing a spring summer collection for the first time on a dull, wet January morning can alter your mood. We may arrive in the heavy coats of last season or if you have one, a very fancy raincoat, but that is promptly forgotten once we see first model come down the catwalk in a bright, fresh springtime hue. The bi-annual Brown Thomas press show is something I very much look forward to. For me, it…

The journey towards healthy hair with Viviscal started back in March . As you may have read on my Instagram stories and feed over 2019, my hair suffered as a result of years of anxiety disorder (here is my earlier blog post on this too). Anxiety can be the most debilitating thing. It manifests itself in your soul. It’s under your skin and well settled in your head. It’s hard to explain how it feels sometimes. An attack can last…

I don’t know about you, but at this time of the year I go mad with choosing a festive outfit (well not just one). Mainly buying things that I will wear over Christmas, even though I am home more at that time of the year than any other. So this year, I’ve come up with a new strategy to try and minimise the spending (I need to get new floors in my house not more ankle boots) and make the…

It’s gift guide time, yay! I love writing these I have to tell you. I look at lots of aspects of gift sets on offer from some of the world’s best known beauty brands. I have some criteria when putting these together which I will outline and you can keep these in mind as you read all of my guides over the month of December. Number one and quite obvious; value for money. Beauty sets can be pricey and you…
