IN OUR WEEKLY Newsletter this past week, I shared a little about my experience during three extremely long days in hospital. I’m feeling much better now (thanks so much for all of your lovely messages) and hope to regain my full energy soon. Despite not being at my best, interestingly, during my stay, nurses repeatedly complimented my skin and asked about my skincare routine. I didn’t have much to tell them, as I’ve simplified my regimen drastically over the past few years (you can read about it here). The main thing I never compromise on is removing my makeup before bed. I always double cleanse, using a balm to melt away the makeup and factor 50 sun cream, followed by a cleanser. Currently I’m using this balm followed by this cleanser (so nice), though I’d love to try this cleanser next as I’m obsessed with the scent of camellias. It’s the Spring Bank Holiday here in the UK on Monday, and Memorial Day in the US as well. I know this because we’ve been bombarded with companies announcing their long weekend sales. Speaking of which, Charlotte Tilbury is offering 20% off everything with the code MAGICMAY, so it’s the perfect time to stock up on the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray and the Hollywood Flawless Filter. This past Monday we visited P’s grandmother at her care home, and it happened to be pony day! Two mini ponies visited the lounge and one nuzzled my cheek—I’m now convinced there’s nothing better than pony kisses. This coming Tuesday we’re heading south again to search for a new flat and collect all our things from storage. Summers in London are my absolute favourite, and I can’t wait.
This week’s links includes a summer mood board, and 6 range alcove ideas that make a statement; the best overnight hand cream, the perfect lip liner and lip gloss pairing, and much more.
