I think we are all familiar with the following clip - a typical ‘bro with a podcast’ guy talking about his morning routine… getting up at 4am, heading to the gym for an intense 2 hour workout, followed by an hour of sauna and cold plunging, a cold shower, before he heads into his 1 hour meditation… this routine he swears is the reason he is ‘an alpha male’ in his career in trading or whatever… (ok maybe I took some poetic license). His disgust at the rest of us mere plebes who are in bed until 6:30am or 7am is palpable… but what I want to know is - where is this guy’s girlfriend or wife? Who is looking after his children?

In the world of Feng Shui, the element of fire represents passion, transformation, and inspiration. Just as fire brings warmth and vitality, incorporating the fiery energy into your personal style can ignite a sense of confidence and self-expression.

In the realm of Feng Shui, the element of wood represents growth, vitality, and flexibility. It symbolizes qualities such as creativity, adaptability, and renewal. Just as wood thrives in nature, incorporating the energetic qualities of wood into your personal style can infuse your look with a sense of freshness and authenticity.

Metal, one of the fundamental elements in Feng Shui, embodies qualities such as precision, clarity, and efficiency. It represents strength, organization, and a focused mindset. When infused into your personal style, the element of metal can bring forth a sense of sophistication, structure, and timeless elegance. Incorporating metal elements can inspire and elevate a woman's style, allowing her to showcase her inner strength and radiate a refined and polished presence.

In the philosophy of Feng Shui, the element of earth represents stability, grounding, and nourishment. It symbolizes qualities such as practicality, stability, and a connection to nature. When integrated into your personal style, the element of earth can create a sense of balance, comfort, and harmony.

Water, one of the five elements in Feng Shui, symbolizes flow, intuition, and emotional depth. It represents qualities such as calmness, clarity, and adaptability. When infused into your personal style, the element of water can bring forth a sense of tranquility, elegance, and a touch of mystery.

This is the first post in a series I intend to write on Fashion Feng Shui. I will explain each of the elements in a post but first of all - what the hell is it, and why should you care?

Happy International Women’s Day to all the wonderful ladies here!

I have been doing a lot of research lately on veganism. I feel so disheartened about what is happening to our planet and am looking for real ways to make a difference!

This week I wanted to give some book suggestions! I am finding this winter lockdown much tougher than the summer lockdown. The weather isn’t as good - the days aren’t as long - I am not enjoying getting up for work in the dark, and finishing work in the dark… and I am working from home!

Personal development is becoming more and more popular as we all strive to find some meaning to our lives. Especially in this crazy time when we are being reminded of the fragility of life every single day - as we watch covid deaths and cases continue to crescendo.

Today I wanted to do a short blog post to talk about intention and the importance of getting clear on your goals.

As we are in the midst of lockdown 3.0, and back to working from home with schools now closed until at least February, I thought it would be useful to share the things I do to make working from home a positive experience!

“Be careful what you tell yourself, you’re always listening!”

During lockdown, I took the opportunity to start using all the products that I already had in my drawers - so many serums, samples, moisturisers, masks and cleansers (so many cleansers)…

Self-care rituals - you can see it now… A sensual bath, candles, lots of bubbles, maybe some rose petals… A lot of people think that self care has to be synonymous with the above picture, but it doesn’t have to be! Self care is just about making time for yourself - and it can and should be something you do every day!

We are many many weeks into this ‘isolation’ and while it seems we are ‘flattening the curve’ there does not seem to be a real end in sight of this current way of life.

I am currently nearly 40 weeks into my ‘Invisalign’ treatment with 2 weeks left (hopefully); I cannot wait for this to be over.

Last year I experienced a relapse in my anxiety and depression.

I have been going to the gym now at least twice a week for the past 6 months. I see a trainer. I don’t go to lose weight - I go for my sanity.
