Guys, I’m awful, it’s a mere seven days until Christmas and I have bought a total amount of ZERO gifts. Actually, I lie, I’ve bought one. For me. That counts, right? In the spirit of all things un-organised I’ve pulled together a last-minute Christmas Gift Guide full of fail-safe heroes from a range of prices that won’t disappoint.

I live and die by my eye cream. It’s usually my no.1 recommended product. Eyes are always the first give away for ageing and dry skin. The skin around your eye is a lot thinner than around the rest of your face so fine lines show quicker. Eye creams are your first line of defense! I’ve teamed up with Mankind to show you how to use eye cream properly.

Holy shit guys, I’m 30!

I made it through my third decade. My 20s have been a rollercoaster. From my career to friends and to my own self-development. As I turn thirty I am acutely aware of how much I have changed, I was holding on to a lot of anger from my teens and it’s taken a long time to let go. I step into my thirties aware of who I am, what I stand for, and what I don’t.

But the question is; I’m older, but am I wiser? I wanted to take the time to reflect and to share with you all some of the things I have learn’t over the years. Some you may relate to, some you may not. Some may seem a bit wanky, and you know what? They probably are. There’s been some big ups and downs over the years and they’ve taught me a lot.

Smythson, the iconic British brand, has launched Journey To The Wild Side in celebration of the wonders of travel. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Sophie Edelstein, the short film features Australian actress and model Phoebe Tonkin playing an American tourist trying to find Buckingham Palace.

It’s not everyday you get to have a baking lesson from a star of the phenomenon show The Great British Bake Off. So when am email landed in my inbox from the guys at Bacofoil inviting me to do just that, needless to say I replied rather quickly! The event, held at Good Housekeeping’s Cookery School, saw the launch of Bacofoil’s new non-stick baking paper.

So these fitness challenges are starting to become a thing and I couldn’t be more excited about that. I love changing up my routine and trying something new. Enter Barry’s Bootcamp

As I mentioned in my last challenge, I’ve recently been trying to up my cardio workouts. I’ve been a weight trainer for so long, and while I loved the strength, the bulk began to feel uncomfortable. I wanted to trim up again, and find a better balance with the old me who could do 2-3 10km runs in a week, but at the same time, I didn’t want to have to give up strength training.

I’d heard about Barry’s Bootcamp through the grapevine a while back and it’s remained on my list as one to check out. A friend of mine from Stockholm was also a huge fan and couldn’t have recommended it more (he’s also now a trainer for the Stockholm studio).

How is it September already?!? This year is flying by for sure! It’s a grooming spectacular for this month’s favourites. There’s been a lot of new product on the market over the last month, so I thought I’d share some of them with you. Check out my September 2017 favourites below.
