My lockdown spending combined with my job as a lifestyle contributor inspired this ‘love at first sight’ series, rounding up new products I’ve been trying out. Focusing on current trends in beauty, working as a collaborator with an online publisher has really expanded my appreciation for everything beauty related.
Any of my fellow Londoners will agree: most flats have no space for unnecessary products and clutter. So don’t ask me how our bathroom caddy became such a state.
While my love/hate relationship with running often errs on the side of hate, I can’t deny how good it feels once it’s over. Plus, with the right music, trainers and route, an outdoor run, alone, can be just the thing to clear your head and improve your mood.
