I discovered Galina’s Shamaeva’s artwork by happy accident – during a seemingly innocuous Instagram scrolling session, and have since become somewhat obsessed with it. So much so, that I’ve already had the Mr’s agreement to feature her pieces in his upcoming property development project. And we’re not even in the ground, yet. Now, the Mr isn’t always so agreeable (and is extremely selective about what goes into his high-end developments) but in this case, he was as impressed as I was. It’s easy to see why. Galina creates abstract pieces, using a combination of ink and resin. They are organic a ..read more

Seven. The Reason to Visit Southend.

One of the many (few) things The Mr and I have in common is a love of spontaneous travel. We just love jumping in the car, or on a train, or a plane, and getting away to somewhere interesting. Or quiet. Or quirky. We don’t really mind, as long as it’s away from here. We have many places on our must visit list. I’m not going to lie to you – Southend was not among them. But, faced with a child-free couple of days and a bit of a lacklustre weather forecast, last week we decided to jump in the car and race to the nearest bit of sea, which happens to be the Essex coast. I have a few friends living ..read more

It’s been a while, but here we are. Back, excited to be writing again, inspired and passionate. Just the way it used to be, and how we hope things will continue. But….that’s about where the similarities end. If you are new to these pages, welcome, it’s good to meet you. If this site is like a comfortable pair of old slippers to you – we apologise, as things are about to get, well, shaken up a little. Love London – as we knew it, has been put (humanely) to sleep. The blog that I wrote in my 20’s and 30’s just didn’t make sense to me anymore – hence there has been no new content for so long. I n ..read more

What is radiant skin – and how do you get it?
Love London | Lifestyle Blog

We all hear the phrases thrown around in beauty world – radiant skin, gently illuminate, get the glow… But what does radiant skin actually look like and why do we want it? So I went researching. adjective The definition of radiant is glowing, bright and sending out rays.An example of radiant is the beam on a woman’s face when she finds out she is having a baby. Say whaaaat? I’m pretty sure by the time they find out they’re having a baby, they’re probably throwing up, breaking out in acne or stuffing their face with Doritos. SO I did some more googling and figured out that radiant look is bas ..read more

Random Acts of Kindness.

7th July. A date that resonates with all Londoners. A date packed with memories of a fateful day – a day of tragedy, of loss, of bravery, courage and motivation. A day on which we should pay respects to those lost in the awful tube bombings on this date, back in 2005, and the families and friends who still suffer. It’s a date I remember with stunning clarity. I was in Greece, away with friends, resting before one of many post hit-and-run operations. I called to speak with my beautiful friend back home, who’s birthday it is, and heard the heart-breaking news. Everything happened in sl ..read more

How Breaking Taught Me To Be Stronger.

Approximately 4550 days ago, a man stole a car, drove it out of a no exit road at over 40mph, crashed into my car and changed my world forever. The furore that followed is still a blur. There was blood, there were flashing lights, there were strangers, there was kindness, there was pain. The ambulance arrived – and the nightmare started. That driver, as far as I know, was never caught. Eye-witnesses identified him as one of the owners from a shop on that same road the accident happened. The police told me there were previous warrants out for his arrest. After six months, they wrote to me ..read more

#Staycation to Dorset

Faced with the burden of having to save for a wedding next year (man, those things are spenny) we had to sacrifice the summer holiday abroad and instead spend a week getting to know our own fair shores. And you know what? Yeah, so, the sun wasn’t beating down 24/7, but it was brilliant, it was beautiful and we saved ourselves loads of cash. Plus that much sun’s bad for your skin anyway. Bournemouth itself has a bit of a reputation for being full of retirees and stag dos. And while I must admit that the town centre isn’t anything to write home about (unless you want to play on the arcade games ..read more

Game Changer : Vegan Snacks (including Chocolate) that TASTE GREAT. Not even lying.

I am not a vegan. I will probably never be a vegan. But, like anyone with a brain and a conscience, I’m aware that eating a more plant based diet is good for both us as humans, and the planet as a whole…which is also good for us as humans in the end as we kind of need somewhere to live. With this in mind, I now consume much less dairy than I used to. And, with a kid who’s dairy (and soya) intolerant, I’ve learnt to look for substitutes that quite frankly, don’t suck. As many do, I can assure you. Dairy free chocolate is one of those things that usually really sucks. The mini’s dairy free adven ..read more
