Christian Watson Furniture

British furniture designer Christian Watson has been honing his trade for many years but it was only recently that he made the decision to launch his eponymous brand. Christian spent two years studying under Marc Fish at Robinson House Studio in Sussex, there he learnt traditional furniture making with timber and veneer. Today, his carefully considered, stripped-back, contemporary style is dominated by the use of metal, its strength giving his pieces their simple elegance. I believe it’s his love of materials that has pushed him on and led him to create such contrasting pieces today. He still ..read more

Soma Rituals Gua Sha Facial Fusion Treatment

This post was created in collaboration with Soma Rituals. Self-care comes in many forms and is often different for each of us; what we need can change from day to day, even from hour to hour. Listening to our bodies is key to understanding what we need. Occasionally, I put my self-care needs in the hands of others; every couple of months, I book a treatment with an experienced therapist. It may seem indulgent to some but if it’s something I know will benefit me, isn’t that a good investment of my time and money? The type of treatment I choose and the therapist that performs ..read more

Vintner’s Daughter is a bit of an anomaly in the skincare industry. It’s a brand with just two products (Active Treatment Essence and Active Botanical Serum), both of which are made in a timely fashion, in order to obtain the most out of each botanical ingredient. Despite what might be considered two big set-backs, almost everyone in the skincare industry has heard of them, many of whom have tried their products and gone on to use them regularly. Among them are celebrities that include Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts, and Hailey Bieber. A telephone call with April Gargiulo, Founder and CEO of Vin ..read more

My collection of ceramics has grown significantly in the last few years as I’ve come to understand that eating and drinking should always be an enjoyable ritual. It offers us all time to slow down, to make the most of our time with friends and family, or even just a moment to ourselves. The way in which we eat and how we see our food can greatly affect how we feel in the moment, and after. We all deserve to drink out of a beautifully-designed mug, pour a glass of water from an attractive jug and eat our food off plates and bowls that emphasise the beauty and quality of the ingredients we serve ..read more

The Last Drop: No.1

3y ago
I appreciate that lots of you are interested in finding out about the latest skincare products and whether they might be good for your skin. I’m lucky to be in a position in which I regularly try lots of different products. I avoid skincare products with known nasties, looking instead for those that are ethically and sustainably made, predominantly made with organic and/or natural ingredients. My approach is to use each product for at least a month before I share my experience here or on Instagram. After that initial trial period there are some that I continue to use every day or when appropr ..read more

The Nourishing Benefits of Face Oils
Style&Minimalism
by Vikki
3y ago
I use face oils throughout the year but I think they are essential during the colder months because of their deeply nourishing and protective properties. When skin is exposed to central heating and/or the wind it can lose the protective layer of oils and lipids it makes naturally, that form part of the skin’s barrier. (It’s important to note that some cleansers also strip away this layer of oils and lipids.) Without this protective layer the skin is open to water loss and can become dry and fragile. As we age, our skin naturally produces less of these oils and lipids. Face oils help to repleni ..read more

An Independent Shops Christmas Gift Guide
Style&Minimalism
by Vikki
3y ago
Christmas is not that far away, especially if you’re planning to order your gifts online. I’ve found that small independent shops offer more unique gifts than most. They are often handmade, have a story and sometimes give back to the community. This year I’ve been thinking about what makes a good gift. Big statement presents may be suitable for growing children whose needs are constantly changing but for us adults I think it’s the everyday objects that elevate our experiences of the ordinary; items that bring comfort or a little luxury to our day-to-day. This year why not buy someone you love ..read more

Natural Candles For Dark Autumnal Evenings

The days are slowly getting shorter and the nights are growing longer. I’m embracing the change of season and looking for ways to make my home feel more cosy. Candlelight is a soothing way to help shift a busy mind into a calmer state; and with the help of some well-chosen essential oils it’s easy to relax and unwind. Before you strike a match, it’s important you know what’s in the candle you are about to burn; not all candles are made equally. There is constant speculation about paraffin wax, and the possibility that when burnt it gives off carcinogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such ..read more

This post was created in collaboration with Birch. At Birch you can watch a film in the screening room, take part in a creative workshop, hold meetings or work quietly, enjoy lunch in either of their restaurants, choose from three different bars to sit and sip on a drink, pick up a coffee and the latest copy of Cereal Magazine, take a class or workout in their fitness studios, or jam in their music room; you could even hold a conference there. Birch has got a little bit of everything. A couple of weeks ago my husband, daughter and I stayed at Birch for the weekend. It rained most of the ti ..read more
