Renovation Progress, Festive Goodies, and Exciting Event Launches! (Home Updates & Skincare)
This week’s vlog is full of exciting events and updates! We’re almost done with the kitchen and bathroom renovations, and it’s such a relief to finally use those spaces, even if there are still some finishing touches. I also chat about juggling family life—Simon is away for business, the boys are home from school, and Coco’s riding lessons have had their ups and downs.
I couldn’t resist a trip to Waitrose for some gorgeous tea towels that match the kitchen's colourways perfectly, plus I share some festive goodies that arrived. I chat a little about my Christmas courses, perfect for anyone feeling holiday stress, with practical tips I’ve refined over the years.
I also attended two fabulous events. Up first was the relaunch of 'In The Country Magazine' where I met the wonderful Holly Thomson, who celebrates modern British countryside life. It was great to meet Holly in person and support her as she reintroduced this wonderful quarterly publication. Her passion for country living really shines through in each issue, making it a gem for anyone who loves rural life.
Next, a Trinny London event for their new Take Back Time eye cream. The highly knowledgeable team walked us through how the product works to target fine lines and puffiness, and what really stood out to me was the inclusion of innovative ingredients like proteins and ashwagandha—Trinny is definitely one to watch if you’re looking for effective skincare!
Grab a cup of tea and join me in this week’s vlog—I’d love to have you along!
