Being pregnant is hard work. OK, admittedly I don't have first-hand experience of being pregnant BUT I have it on good authority that growing a human inside your body for nine months is no mean feat. As well as grappling with the existential euphoria/fear of bringing a baby into the world, you have to deal […]

The past 18 months have been a challenging time for couples everywhere (thanks Coronavirus ). From national lockdowns forcing couples to move in together earlier than planned, to government restrictions postponing weddings across the country, it hasn’t been plain sailing for those loved up. But with restrictions easing just a few months ago, weddings, engagement […]

It’s been just over a year and a half since I made the epic decision to shave off my chemically straightened hair in a bid to restart the journey of growing and falling back in love with my natural, thick, type 4b/4c Afro hair. As a child, I had incredibly thick, coily tresses that would […]

So she’s turning 21 and you’re worried about what to get her. It’s a big birthday to commemorate – and no doubt she’ll have the Jay Gatsby-inspired celebration plans to match its grandeur – so buying her just any old present simply won’t do, trust me. 21st birthday gifts are something to remember forever; whatever […]

Teeth-brushing might not be the most glamorous part of your beauty routine – but it might just be one of the most important. In fact, it's said that we're more concerned about our oral hygiene than ever – with nearly 12 million of us switching to an electric toothbrush in the last five years (in […]

A beautiful bedroom rug is, without a doubt, one of the easiest ways to inject opulence, texture and luxury into the space in which you sleep. Not solely a stylish way to savour your feet from getting too cold when you step out of bed on a winters' morning (though they're great for that, too), […]

After many moons of having to forgo appointments with our go-to colourists, it will come as no surprise that a whole bunch of us are ready to embrace a bolder hair colour for the season ahead. And no, that doesn’t have mean going for a clashing colours or rainbow hue. In fact, we totally get […]

The '70s called and they want their interiors back. Their flower power wall art, retro oak dressing tables, and their brightly-coloured glass trinkets. The mushroom lamps, the patterned wallpaper, and the unapologetically colourful upholstered furniture. These motifs have stepped right out of the mid-century of late, making a home on the TikTok and Instagram feeds […]

For a very long time, the only money issues we ever really acknowledged were those of overspending and not having ‘enough’ – but having a difficult relationship with money is a spectrum. There are those who struggle to keep hold of money, spending it too freely and accruing debt or struggling to save, and, at […]

When it comes to chic, easy hairstyles, the humble ponytail is often overlooked.
