October 13, 2021 at 06:00AM I’ve never really been a watch person, let alone a smartwatch person. Ever since I got my first mobile from the age of about 17 (shout-out to my fellow old millennials), I’ve used my phone to check the time. And as phones slowly became everything in our lives (camera, news, social life), it seemed weird that I’d want something separate from it. Everything was in one place; it was so convenient. But then a few things happened. First, I started running again and wanted to track my progress without whipping out my phone all the time. Second, staring at my phone all day to check the time wasn’t actually that handy with a toddler. And finally, there was the pandemic.Honor kindly lent me its smartwatch to trial back in February 2020, just before the pandemic hit. While initially, I wanted to track my…

October 13, 2021 at 06:00AM As someone who is super fortunate to receive new beauty launches on a weekly basis among makeup and skincare products that TikTok somehow always convinces me to buy, I still love nothing more than turning to social media for makeup inspo. Whether it be a lipstick that easily takes my look from day to night, a concealer to brighten up my under-eyes after a restless night or even a blush to add a pop of colour to my cheeks, I want all the recommendations.This year is definitely proving harder than usual with the UK weather giving us all four seasons in just a matter of hours, but slowly but surely, it’s beginning to feel like autumn thanks to cosy evenings, an influx of pumpkin-inspired makeup products and all the talk of Christmas (despite it still being weeks away).When it comes to autumn makeup, all looks are on…

October 13, 2021 at 06:00AM The concept of “underwear as outerwear” has always remained a bit of a mystery to me. Whether it was bras over tops or Kim Kardashian’s lingerie-inspired get-ups, I couldn’t quite shake the feeling that fashion was trolling us. So when sleepwear started to make an appearance outside the confines of the bedroom, I prepared myself for another unrealistic fashion fad, but it turns out I couldn’t have been more wrong. Over the last six years or so, there has been a steady stream of pyjama-inspired brands entering the market. Think Asceno, Yolke and Sleeper. However, it was last year’s lockdown that saw their popularity skyrocket. “Activewear is no longer something people just wear to the gym, so sleepwear as daywear felt like a natural evolution,” explains Jacqui Hoang, founder of Sleeping With Jacques. “I’ve seen our pieces worn everywhere from weddings to musicians on the stage. Our robes look amazing when worn with the…
