Outspoken Beauty

In this episode I'm joined by a true beauty icon...the fabulous Trish McEvoy.
Recording in lockdown, Trish joins me from her beautiful New York apartment. Our chat is such fun and as well as learning about Trish the entrepreneur and business woman (her beauty brand is totally independent), I also get a great feel for who the real Trish is...a warm, funny, honest, utterly fabulous woman who isn't afraid to be open and had me roaring with laughter.
Enjoy getting to know Trish. She'll brighten up your day xx

In this episode of #MyBeautyHabits, I'm joined by the the brilliant author and personal trainer Alice Liveing.
Alice starts off by giving some great and very accessible tips about staying positive and active during lockdown. We then chat through the beauty products that she swears by and that have totally changed her skin. She gives some fab makeup recommendations and talks about why she has given up some of her more regular beauty habits.

If you're anything like me, lockdown and the current situation is a journey of highs and lows. One minute you're grateful for the slower pace of life and the extra time you have with your family and the next you're crying, sleepless and suffering from anxiety.
In this episode I'm joined by the lovely Dr Sarah Vohra aka @themindmedic. Sarah is a Consultant Psychiatrist and bestselling author and has brilliant advice for helping us to get through these tough times.
What I love about Sarah is that everything she suggests is very accessible and practical. We have a fab catch up about how to support our mental health and I really hope it helps you if you're struggling. We also manage to fit in a bit of beauty chat for good measure :0)

In this episode of My Beauty Habits I'm joined by Broadway and West End superstar Marisha Wallace.
Marisha is not only the most spectacular singer and performer but she is a brilliant human being and was an utter joy to chat to. I left the interview feeling so much more positive and with a huge smile on my face, which I think is what we all need at the moment!
During the episode we talk about staying positive during lockdown (with the help of a bit of song), her love of a red lippie and MAC Makeup, how she winds down after a performance and much much more.
If you're in need of a boost, some laughter and a woman who is guaranteed to make you grin, this is the episode for you. Oh and make sure you follow Marisha on Insta @marishawallace for live karaoke sessions where she takes your requests and full blown concerts from her lounge!)

In this special extra episode, Alex Steinherr returns to the podcast to chat about her experience of lockdown and how she's getting through it.
She talks through the challenges and how she's overcoming them and as ever is brilliantly candid. I think you'll find this episode really relatable and Alex has some great advice too!

This is a really special episode in collaboration with The Fragrance Foundation and Editions De Parfum Frederic Malle.
Portrait Of A Lady is my favourite fragrance of all time and today's episode is a documentary that I've made with some brilliant people in the industry to celebrate and explore the perfume in what I hope is a spellbinding and magical way.
Get ready to hear Frederic Malle's story, discover what makes Potrait of A Lady such an extraordinary fragrance and hear from the likes of Nicola Chapman and Val Garland about how the perfume makes them feel. I also speak to perfume expert Odette Toilette to journey deep inside the intoxicating scent. I hope that by the end of the episode you're as mesmerised by the scent as I am.

I thought we could all do with a bit of a lift and there was only one person to call...the ray of sunshine that is Jules Von Hep.
In this episode Jules talks through the little things that he does to keep happy and smiling during lockdown. He has some lovely tips and I left the recording with a big smile on my face and hope that he does the same for you.
I also read out some of the wonderful shoutouts you've been doing for NHS workers and mention some of the beauty brands that are doing amazing things at the moment.

Donna was Beauty Editor at the likes of Company, Cosmo Girls, Boots Mag and Fabulous and is known for always picking very real and quirky women for beauty shoots before it even became a point of discussion.
Donna and I chat through how "lockdown" is affecting us and the ways we are making ourselves feel positive. Donna recommends a range of great things from aromatherapy and body moisturisers to skincare to the ultimate DIY nail file.
I really hope you enjoy this episode and it offers a bit of escapism xx
