A few months ago, I became the mum of a calm, and very curious, little girl. We waited for her for a long time, and the decision to become parents was conscious and thought through. I felt like I did absolutely everything I could to prepare myself for this new life I was embarking on. […]
When we talk about a capsule wardrobe, we immediately think about essential clothing items that we have been told – by magazines, mainly – are things everyone must have in their closet. The reality is, the broad concept of a capsule wardrobe is great, but it needs to be accompanied by the word ‘personal’. There […]
With the year we just had, we could all use some inspiration to motivate us. Thankfully, the world is made of incredibly inspiring women and their stories are just waiting to be read. There are so many books out there to choose from, but we have selected a variety of women’s biographies that we know […]
New year, same story. As Coronavirus seems not to be done with us, and we plunge into another lockdown, the restrictions’ effects are starting to be visible on our skin.

Modern life is full of unpredictability and external stressors out of our control, so if you can get the small, daily stuff sorted, you will be better equipped to face the natural chaos of life. How does it work? Routine can anchor us. We are […]
Like most people, I wasn’t exactly thrilled by the idea of being confined in my flat for months on end. At first, I convinced myself I quite liked the idea but really, what I liked was not having to take public transports every day. Unknowingly, I think the first months of quarantine back in March […]
We all need some extra love during the holidays and, this year more than ever, a small gesture (like handwritten Christmas cards) could mean a lot to someone you care about. Christmas is around the corner and, even though the holiday season is always an incredibly emotional one, I have the feeling that this year […]
If Britain was once a nation of tea drinkers, it’s coffee that seems to be the beverage that moves the UK economy. In 2018, Britons spent a whooping £10bn in takeaway coffees, an incredible amount of money that is set to rise once cafés are free to open again. Most of us know a coffee […]
We know where our vegetables come from, where our clothes were made and how many plastic bottles went into making our leggings – but do we know what’s inside our beauty products?
