I think food might be my love language. I love eating food, sharing food with others and having food made for me. When lockdown was instated in London, I suddenly found myself seeking comfort in the kitchen (like everyone else in the world) – and these bagels are one of my top recipes (that I keep going back to).

While I’m the first person to admit I dread hair wash day, there are some haircare products that make the experience a little better. I’ve always wished I was one of those people who take genuine joy in a hot shower. One thing I am truly passionate about? Hair health. A forever fan of everything beauty related, I have gone through many hair products, styles and colours in my life.

I would say my skincare routine is probably one of my favourite parts of the day. It feels like a true pamper without being exhaustive. I’ve recently added a new step to my routine: toner. I’ve never really used toner because I’ve always connected it to that stinging, stringent, parched feeling my skin would get after using this type of product in my younger days.

I’m sure this isn’t the first time you’re hearing this, but science suggests outer-health begins within. What you eat can really affect the internal happenings in your body, and maintaining a healthy gut directly affects overall health. Don’t get me wrong, I still love wine and a cheeky takeaway when we can’t be bothered to cook, but I’ve been more focused on fueling my body with food that makes it feel its best.

Before I sound like every other writer ever, hear me out. For me, coffee does not = best self. I’m not one who needs her morning java or carries around a mug with the words: no coffee, no talk-ee on it. I’m perfectly functional without my morning coffee (in fact, most days I don’t have my first cup until late morning/noon).

In the two years we’ve lived ‘across the pond’, there are some aspects of the UK that I’ve really grown to love and appreciate. The below list isn’t a round-up of the major perks to living in London, rather they’re small details that are easy to overlook but deserve an appreciation post (in my opinion).
