Staying Sane in Isolation
It’s now been – ahem – a while since Boris announced the country-wide lockdown, with the entire of the U.K.’s non-essential workforce suddenly working from home full time.   After the initial giddiness at the prospect of an extra half an hour in bed, not having to battle the rush hour Northern Line twice a day, and a new work wardrobe comprising mainly loungewear and sliders, the reality of the situation settled in.

Fashion Week and It’s Lockdown…
While we all thought we’d soon be planning our Summer wardrobe and adding those holiday buys to our basket, I think we can all agree that life doesn’t half surprise you. If you’d have told me at the beginning of the year that I would be spending the first bank holiday of the decade in PJ’s, cradling a bottle of wine in front of Disney+, I never would have believed you... yet here we are.

The Importance of UV in Skincare and Beauty

by Rachael Heritage
Beauty, Body & Hair Care, Makeup, Skincare
Quite simply, protecting yourself from Ultraviolet Rays is single handily the most important thing you can do for your skin. SPF is the cheapest cosmetic surgeon around! If you are not using SPF, then the rest of your skincare is deemed pointless. Prevention is key here!  So what is UV? The sun naturally emits UV radiation, while sunbeds give out artificial UV. Both forms are incredibly damaging to your skin so protection is vital. ...

A Minimal, Vegan Haircare Routine

by Rebecca Merry
Beauty, Body & Hair Care, Lifestyle, Sustainability, The Vegan Edit
Frizziness has always been the bane of my life and up until recently, I didn’t do a great deal about it. I have always used oils, but never spent the time to properly research what is best for me and my hair. I accepted fate and that there was no product on this planet had the capacity to fully tame my super thick, crazy hair. What inspired my need for change? A spontaneous one way flight ticket to France the following month. I decided to travel for the foreseeable future and knew that I wanted (and needed) to minimise my hair care routine to a few vegan products that I truly loved and trusted. Natural ingredients were...

by Charlotte Wilkin

These are the best products that I have tried, and trust me, I own half of Boots.   I have an extreme love-hate relationship with my hair. As anyone with curly, coily and frizzy hair knows, no hair days are the same. One day my curls can bounce beautifully around my face, the next day, my curls can spiral in seven different directions, resulting in a flat mess. So, if anyone knows how to tame some curly locks, it’s us curly girls. ...

Self-care and kindness have become increasingly big topics in recent years. We welcomed the mindfulness movement as it saturated our overworked brains with tools and techniques to help calm our frantic lives. We couldn’t keep up, and we didn’t know how to slow down. But despite the much-needed advice, were we really listening? Something tells me we perhaps weren’t.

For beauty lovers internationally. On lockdown and in the confines of our own homes, our most-loved beauty and self-care secrets have been compromised and our go-to pick-me-ups are, for now, out the window. Across all nations, people are experiencing sickness and so right now, the notion of beauty may be of a lower priority than usual. For those of us recovering from milder symptoms, feeling the FOMO, anxiety or simply just locked inside for safe measures, we are hoping this soon will be a distant memory. In this time, it's important to remember the healing powers we can unlock by optimising our inner and outer mental health and immunity....

Be Your Own Hype Man

I think we can happily say that the discussion of Mental Health is more encouraged and widely spread than around 10+ years ago. A large part of promoting a positive mindset, whether it be for yourself or others, is to surround yourself with kind, likeminded people in times of need.  Some may favour chanting ‘love yourself’ like a mantra, as unfortunately we often have to be reminded to do so. ...

Af you’re anything like me, you’ll be getting bored of your daily work-from-home lunch by now. I mean, I’ve never been one to buy the most exciting lunches, or rustle up something ‘wow’ during the week, but it was nice to be able to switch it up a little and visit bakeries or those city centre lunch spots when I wanted to!  If you’re stuck for inspiration outside of your basic salad or sandwich, then look no further - I’ve been researching some ways to mix up that midday meal.  The below recipes are super easy and quick to make at home! This way, you can throw a plate together when you have a few minutes spare, either in the morning before you head off to work (if you’re still going to the office), or at...

by Hayley Smith
Culture, Europe, Food & Drink, Travel, Worldwide
If you’re anything like me, you are both a travel and wine enthusiast, and I enjoy combining the two as much as possible. I am a sucker for a good wine tour, a great wine bar and I always try, if possible to enjoy, for better or worse, trying out locally produced wines everywhere I visit.  Over the past seven years, I have spent time exploring the world, city by city, drinking in both the culture, and the wine, learning as much as I can about both. To prevent you from bad wine and making a ‘pour’ decision - because no one got time for that, I have compiled below 6 of my favourite wine experiences from around...
