Fake fuller, thicker brows in moments with the right know how!
🌟Save this post for easy reference next time you are doing your makeup 🌟
Brows are so vital, they frame the face, give focus to the eyes, and a fuller brow gives us a youthful appearance.
If like me, yours have never been particularly bushy and are now getting even thinner, help is at hand.
This is what I do:
Apply Revitalash brow serum twice a day to boost your natural hair growth.
Shade your brows, using Benefit Goof Proof eye pencil to create your base.
Define by drawing on individual hairs, particularly nearer the middle, with a hard pencil such as Lancome precision eye pencil.
Add dimension and depth by combing the Revitalash high def tinted brow gel through your brows. This is my new favourite thing, I comb the brows through 'backwards' with the gel first to create volume, then apply in the right direction, then tidy up with the comb afterwards.
Finally, highlight your brow bone, I use a dab of Rodial banana under eye concealer with a slanted brush.
... and just like that, you've got your brows back.

Life-giving, miracle-causing and magical ✨
That is how people describe Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and I must say I agree.
Whether you are using it to speed up recovery post surgery (do you remember Marc Jacobs using one after his face lift?), to fight chronic diseases such as Lyme (Justin Bieber), for athletic recovery (Michael Jackson and Bubbles) to fight Long Covid, Cancer, Dementia... or simply for the incredible beauty benefits, this needs to be on your radar.
Previously only available to the super rich and famous, HYB0T is now more easily accessible 💫
Those who know me will remember it literally saved my foot - the Doctors couldn’t believe their eyes as they prepared to amputate - and at the HybO2 House clinic in Winchester they too are having some incredible results - the engineer was in tears last week as he witnessed a brain damaged child speak for the first time in 6 years following a course of treatment - it really is the way forwards in complimentary healthcare.
Clinics are popping up all over the UK, but only HybO2 House have the very best chambers that dive to 2ATA combined with the very best oxygen delivery systems, which makes their efficacy unparalleled ⭐️
You can book a taster session or a full course by contacting the clinic, and chambers are also available to rent or buy.

How to look expensive.... Royally approved style hacks! 👑
Quiet luxury is huge for this season. Ever wonder how the best dressed amongst us pull it off?! Here is your handy guide to fitting in with the jet-set.
It’s always the tiny details that make the biggest impact; an easy way to look more polished is to ensure all of the metals you are wearing - (think bag hardware, boot buckles and jewellery) - match. This subtle, Royally-approved style trick instantly makes you look more exclusive.
Less jewellery is definitely more, so retire your statement pieces and choose more delicate, finer ones. Gold looks more sumptuous looking than silver, and a couple of artfully layered necklaces with a pretty bracelet and discrete watch look far more aristocratic than a trendy arm party.
Channel minimalism with your outfit too - (more Coco Chanel, less Iris Apfel). Clean, unfussy lines and quality drape are where it’s at. If in doubt follow Coco’s advice and ‘take one thing off’ before you leave the house. Please avoid logos at all costs 🙅♀️
Pay close attention to the fabrics in your outfit, favouring luxurious, natural fibres like silk, fine wool or pima cotton. They drape better, last longer, flatter by reflecting the light and speak for themselves, without relying on tackier accessories to elevate them. Combining different textures together adds luxurious depth.
Good garment care is one one of the most understated style hacks, and will take you from chic to cheap in seconds. Investment dressing; buying less and buying better, is a shortcut to looking expensive, but how you launder, store and maintain your pieces is key. Use the coolest wash on your washing machine, steam rather than iron, debobble, trim loose threads and store with love 💫
Having your clothes tailored is a shortcut to them looking like they were made bespoke for you. Rarely do our bodies match the ‘off the peg’ proportions of shop sizes, a good seamstress will transform the ordinary into the exclusive and you will shine with confidence.

Why does Kate wear 3 poppies for Remembrance Day? 👑
Find out here!! ⬇️
Remembrance Day felt even more poignant this year, and this was etched on the Princess of Wales’ face as she was understandably quite moved during the ceremony at the Cenotaph in Londons Whitehall.
The Royals, as the heads of our armed forces in the UK, acknowledge every year the many lives tragically lost fighting for Crown and country 🇬🇧
Kate’s fashion is always suitably military-inspired for the occasion, and this year was no exception as she chose to rewear my personal favourite - a stunning Catherine Walker coat, with razor sharp shoulders, exquisite detailing on the bodice, a minimal, discreet zip and formal high-collar, the drama of which adding even more gravitas to the solemn occasion.
The Princess also chose to rewear her stunning Philip Treacy statement hat, complete with imposing sculptural bow. Most definitely a sympathetic sartorial move in light of the current cost of living crisis, but perhaps the most beautiful outfit feature of all were the late Queen Elizabeth’s pearl and diamond leaf earrings - which were doubly moving, both as a tribute to our late Monarch and because pearls have been worn by Royals in mourning since Victorian times, as they are thought to represent tears 💧
Finally, Kate adorned her jacket with her Commadore brooch, presented to the Princess earlier this year, and not one but 3 poppies.... curious?! Find out why here....

Just a little loving note from me... 💛
I rediscovered this quote recently and I thought it so apt for right now for so many reasons, what with the business and chaos of the festive season building up as may of us struggle to balance family and work commitments, let alone financial pressures this year in particular, and as we all feel a little strange, and in some ways slightly guilty as we prepare to celebrate with our loved ones while around the world the most unimaginable terror, worse than our darkest nightmares, rages on.
With all this in mind, plus any emotional challenges that this time of years bring, as I know many of you find Christmas difficult, remember my friends to take some time to look after you, to check in with yourself, and carve yourself a tiny nook of peace and quiet just to gather your thoughts, ground yourself and whisper sweet words of encouragements before you continue to face the day 💫
We, like ships, won't sink or collapse because of everything that is happening around us, but because we let the cracks develop which then let the water in.
This is the time of year that we are meant to hunker down, gather round fires, sleep longer and have shorter working days due to the lack of light - with modern living this usually doesn't happen - so make sure you give yourself that which you need, and deserve to stop that water getting in.
Very often the simplest, smallest things are the most powerful; looking for the glimmers (look it up) gazing into a crackling open fire, savouring a warm wintry drink, snuggling down in bed for a candlelit session with a juicy novel when it's way too early ✨
Just do what you need to do my friend, and don't let that water get in.

Get ready with me... an everyday Autumn outfit 🍂
Styling up this brilliant Lavender Hill turtleneck layering piece for Autumn, it’s perfect for slipping under your summer dresses, making them more season-appropriate and making your wardrobe work harder for you, but I love nothing better than a little play, and shopping my own wardrobe (or in this case my husbands !) and this is what I came up with...
Shopping your husbands wardrobe is such a brilliant, inexpensive way of tapping in to the oversized trend - just add a belt or show a bit more skin if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed by fabric! ⭐️
Looking back and being super picky, I would have liked it even more if I had slipped some pop socks on with the shoes so that my skin toned in better with my trousers... hey ho! Perfectly imperfect and all that! 😊
I tried wearing this piece another way too - have added that onto stories for you.
