Given my degree is in Fashion - Fashion Promotion from University of The Arts London - it’s safe to say I am someone who loves fashion. Over the past few years though the concept of ‘see now, buy ASAP’ has emerged which is both ethically and environmentally detrimental. I’ve had to reevaluate my approach to shopping but my love of style remains, I just do things differently now

If someone suggests playing a team sport, I'm not interested. I've never enjoyed them and only participated in school activities when necessary. Sports like hockey, netball, and rounders filled me with dread, so I often avoided them and sought refuge in the library instead!

Last weekend, I visited The Cliff House Hotel, and after I mentioned it on Instagram, I received numerous messages from followers sharing their memories of honeymoons and birthdays there.

Whenever people say they dislike salads or find them boring, I feel inspired to cook for them! Salads don't have to be cold or dull; with a few simple tweaks, they can become satisfying and incredibly delicious.

While retreats often carry spiritual connotations, you don’t need to be soul-searching to take a week off. I attended a detox retreat in Portugal five years ago and loved the experience. It offered a sunny getaway with airport transfers, engaging sports and activities, and the option to connect with like-minded individuals, making it a comforting way to relax and enjoy some sunshine.
