Break out of your bed threads and into something that motivates you to tackle that to-do list.

When you’re working from home, you want to be presentable enough for that Skype meeting but casual enough to sit cross-legged on the sofa, ya know?

While climbing into a suit and typing from the dining table might work for some people, others need fool-proof jeans and a soft knit to get sh*t done. Comfort is key!

It’s all about business up top, roomy waistbands down south.

Here are the pieces we’re...

Like the love fern in How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days, they need regular TLC. You can’t just leave them to fend for themselves. We have to continuously nourish them, honour their importance and give them the energy they deserve.

Work gets in the way, life happens.

We’re all guilty of letting the weeks pass us by without seeing our friends or scheduling in some quality time. Work gets in the way, life happens and before you know it, it’s been six months without the whiff of a glass of vino and a...

If it requires rubbing, scrubbing or excessive tugging you can count us out! Our eyelids are thin and delicate facial canopies, prone to damage. We want to keep them happy and perky for as long as possible, thank you please. Protect that eyeball awning at all costs.

Balms, oils, cult jellies and fragrance-free micellar water – we’ve tried and tested a whole bunch of them to find out which ones will make your...

We masticated our way through cloud-like layers of buttermilk dough, inhaling big fluffy ones, fruity ones and chicken ones and then we took a long hard look at ourselves and our maple syrup bearing beards in the mirror. Never have we loved our reflection more than in that intimate moment of piggishness.

If like us, you like your eggs folded into a bed of batter in the morning, you’re in the right place. Forget whipping up your own P-Cakes, celebrate the tastiest holiday of the year by...

If you’re an avid bookworm, you’ll understand the joy of losing yourself in a novel too, which is why we’ve compiled a reading list of our all-time favourite fiction. Our very own literary canon, if you will!

From modern giants to the must-read classics and a certain scar-bearing wizard, these are the books that have stayed with us way past the acknowledgements.

Pride and Prejudice

Probably my all-time favourite book if I had to pick one. When Jane Austen created Elizabeth...

What is your role at Gleam futures and what does it entail?

I’m Head of Publishing at Gleam Titles, the literary arm at Gleam. I work as an agent and represent the books and look after the careers of writers. So it’s my job to talent spot and discover authors, I help secure them publishing deals and work alongside them throughout the process of writing and publishing their books.

How long have you worked with Zoe?

I have worked with Zoe for more than four years now! I’ve loved watching her...

To celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day, we’re aiming to do just that by spreading a little piece of joy, one note at a time.

Inspired by London-based artist Andy Leek and his kindness project, ‘Notes to Strangers’, we thought we’d take a leaf out of his book and help spread life-affirming message across our fair city too. Because unexpected kindness is never wasted!

The post Random Acts Of Kindness Day: Notes In The...

You can inject a lot of personality into a space simply by displaying some of your favourite items together in your home. So, whether you want to create a minimal arrangement with a neutral colour scheme to match, or you’d rather go all out maximalist – styling your shelves with the things you love is bound to make you feel right at home.

When times are pretty sh*tty, we’ll wade in and give you our best pearls of wisdom, without the unsolicited advice – all in the hope that you’ll feel a little less alone in whatever you’re going through. Bottom line: Yes, you’re normal, no you’re not the only one, yes it’s ok to have problems and HELL YES it’s ok to ask for help.

Whether it’s friendship woes, marital struggles, grief, loneliness, body hang-ups, overbearing in-laws, problem-skin, stress or heartbreak, we all know a problem...

This is 2020, people! Being unattached is not a reason to lock yourself in a lofty tower for the whole of February. There is heart-shaped chocolate to be had and masturdates – that’s ‘going out on your own’ for anyone scratching their heads, or any other region for that matter.

Valentine’s Day is about love of in ALL its forms, starting with the glorious romance you have with *drumroll please* yourself.

So, let’s paddle through the commercial BS and make room for some good ol’ fashioned...
