This week the team are talking through their current go-to beauty products! From skincare to setting spray, we’ve definitely switched up what we’re reaching for, now the temperatures are rising, swapping full coverage for fake tan! Getting ready for a night out feels like a lifetime ago but that won’t stop us going from 0 to 100 just for a video call with our mates. Hands up who can’t wait for their big beauty reveal post lockdown!

It feels a lot like the world is upside down at the moment but one thing that prevails at a time like this is kindness. People are coming together, helping their elderly neighbours, making the lockdown birthday one to remember and finding new ways to stay connected, albeit from a distance.

The smallest acts of kindness and selfless good deeds can offer a much-needed pick-me-up and morale boost.

As we face further time away from our loved ones, plenty of us will be feeling like there is no end ...

What better way to enjoy the beauty of flowers for years to come than by pressing and preserving them?

This is one way to ensure your floral stories will last and last.

Whether it’s a single red rose from an important anniversary, a peony from your lockdown birthday bouquet or cow parsley stems foraged from your daily quarantine walk, this is one way to ensure your floral stories will last and last.

Whilst we’re still spending a lot of time at home, this is a great way to switch off, st...

Found throughout the Mediterranean and the Middle East, Mezze, or meze, is a selection of small plates and savoury dishes, made to be shared alongside any main meal.

Bursting with flavours from all over the world, mezze can just as easily be enjoyed as the main snack board supper itself, or an all-day grazing board, if you’re no longer subscribing to the idea of breakfast, lunch and dinner. That’s us! Mealtimes have blurred into one big all you can eat lockdown buffet anyway, right?

If you’ve made it this far into lockdown without watching Normal People, what could have been so urgent, please?

If you’ve seen it, then you’ll know what all the fuss is about, and why Connell’s silver chain is the only thing that matters anymore.

With sex scenes and full-frontal nudity, it’s… #NormalPeople and every single thought and emotion we had while watching it.

1. Huh, I never imagined Connell to be a silver chain wearer when I read the book

2. A moment of silence for everyon...

First of all, how are you and how are you coping in lockdown?

Im really well and I would say I have adapted to life as a pro makeup artist working from home now, Im so lucky that I get to work virtually with our clients online via Live Chats which is great fun. I also love being able to share more content for my followers on Instagram too, its a great tool to educate and connect with everyone.

Personally, Ive been able to drink as many coffees as I want all thanks to my mum and dads lovely...

The Queen addressed the nation in her moving Victory in Europe Day speech, marking the 75th anniversary since the end of the Second World War.

The address took place at 9pm on 8th May, the same day and time her father, King George VI, delivered his speech back in 1945. She led tributes to the wartime generation and spoke of the sacrifices made for us to live in peace; they died so we could live as free people.

As we observed a two-minute...

Despite living out our summer dreams in our back gardens or flat balconies, you best believe were still loving all things warm weather dressing and the chance to whack our (rather hairy at this stage) legs out for some well needed Vitamin D.

Whether its midi, maxi or mini, you cant go far wrong with a style you know and love. So whether its to pretend you have your life together pre Zoom call, or to dress up for your faux Saturday night out in the living room, these are the throw on dresses...

Lets hear it for the TBR pile the great to-be-read rock face that no man has ever actually managed to abseil down. Ever.

In bleak times, we reach for books so you could say our TBR piles are looking wildly overgrown at the moment thanks to a global pandemic that made us all want to stick our noses into a best-seller and consume someone elses story for a while.

Reading provides the best form of escapism and procrastination, and who doesnt need a bit of that in their lives right about now?

The gang are still very much influencing our outfit choices some quarter of a century later. Slip dresses continue to rein supreme, athleisure is ALL were wearing right now and 90s denim is never off the table.
