Once again, I am visiting one of my favourite London hotels, The Lanesborough, and I am delighted to be immediately greeted with an opulent façade, framed by a pair of Christmas trees, decorated with hues of gold and red bringing a luxury art traditional touch.
A change of season always makes me want to do a refresh with everything – in the home, what I’m wearing and especially the beauty products that I use. I like to keep thing simple when it comes to beauty, but as I’m sure we can all appreciate, my basic skincare routine probably takes more time and patience than my makeup routine as I only apply concealer, mascara and a touch of bronzer to brighten up my skin a bit.
Every year, London just gets better and better, with the decorations taking the grandest place of all, the many activities to be found becoming so sought after and the department stores offering the best gifts you’ve ever dreamt of. Christmas is a wonderful time of year where there’s the perfect setting for “A Christmas Carol”, the original home of the Christmas cracker and the place where Christmas cards were first debuted – there’s no wonder London is a superbly celebratory city, come each December.
Recently, something new has come to the city. Are you ready guys? This brand new, luxurious Fortnum and Mason shop has arrived in the heart of The Royal Exchange. To any Fortnum fans out there, it’s time for some first-class shopping in a new, desirable location- bringing Fortnum & Mason to the heart of the city for the first time, along with an exclusive dining destination in the form of The Fortnum’s Bar & Restaurant.
Britain is home to some of the most charming, heart-melting villages in the world. With quaint pubs, idyllic stone cottages, and fantastic country walks, these evoke the romance of a time gone by, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing rural escape.
Are you dreaming of a wonderful gathering with family, friends, colleagues and loved ones over Thanksgiving? Recently, I hosted an intimate lunch with my closest friends, at Balthazar Restaurant…
Recently, I have heard about Jo Malone London’s first ever fragrance collection for men, which means this could make Christmas shopping that little bit easier. Everyone’s favourite fragrance house has launched a collection for the boys. Meet Jo Malone London x Huntsman, a quintessentially British collaboration with the Savile Row tailors – and one which looks as good as it smells.
It has become almost a tradition for me visiting the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, as it’s where I have celebrated so many of my landmark occasions – Halloween, Birthday, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire always brings back happy memories and it such a nice place to enjoy. I have always been a huge admirer of the Four Seasons Resorts throughout the world, so it’s especially nice to get back to experience their hospitality once again.
Recently, I have heard about a new happening in Cambridge, which has attracted my attention. The oldest hotel in Cambridge has undergone a huge refurbishment after a two-year closure and a £80 million injection – the rebuilt hotel has just re-opened in August 2018. I did wonder how come I had never heard of this hotel before, this is the opportunity to find out more about The University Arms, a grand hotel of all in Cambridge.
Autumn has arrived and soon there will be winter any time soon, time to look and feel sensational by getting up to speed on the latest beauty trends. When the weather and season changes, so should your beauty routine too. It’s always fun to try out something new and add the latest beauty purchase into your beauty cabinet. Here, I am giving my audience a demonstration exploring the latest unisex beauty trends.
The summer months seem like a lifetime away and last Autumn seems like yesterday. It’s funny to think how quickly the seasons change throughout the year. I have to say I am truly happy to see Autumn in England once again, especially when all the leaves are changing from mellow yellow to vivid red in soft multi-coloured piles on the ground.
The Sicilian way of life is fascinating. Being the biggest island in the Mediterranean, with close connections to Italy, Sicily has acted as a gateway to travellers for many centuries. This mix of cultures has left behind a medley of architectural styles, a colourful variety of cuisine and an array of unique traditions.
