We are often in the middle of one book or another, whether digital or actual. Here are five books that are full of great ideas and advice, and have helped us along the way. We hope they inspire your business, and life, as well. Click through the slides for the list, and on the titles for links. –P.
One of the most-asked questions is about my beauty and makeup routine. My skincare regimen changes with the seasons, with less makeup and rich moisturisers in the summertime, and the opposite in the winter. It's especially important to care for your skin in the wintertime because the cold, dry air can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry, itchy, and more susceptible to cracking and irritation.
WAS REMARKING recently how one of my pet peeves is when people don't know the difference between its and it's. Bad spelling and grammar in general are annoying, but when people mix up its and it's, especially so. And in this age of social media everything ...
WE’VE ALL SEEN them before: internet aphorisms⏤those pithy observations containing a general truth⏤floating about on Instagram and tumblr.

AFTER I LEFT the (traditional) working world for good two years after I began This Is Glamorous, every night, before I went to sleep, I found myself really looking forward to the next morning.

A LONG TIME AGO, I was once given the advice, "Find the thing that you want to do most with your life, and then do one thing every day to get yourself closer to that goal." I remembered and repeated these words to a friend recently, hoping it would help with what she was going through at the moment, to which she replied, but sometimes we get stuck.
Summer holidays is the best skincare that could possibly exist―not only are our bodies are more relaxed and rested, but spending these summer days with bare skin without any makeup (at least in my case) gets me to my best complexion.
IT'S MONDAY but does not feel like it, for nothing has felt normal for a while now. While we're all still practising social distancing and spending most of our time at home, here are some inspirational words written by Paul Williams...
Nearly two months ago, on April 26,2022, it was announced that Elon Musk was buying Twitter. Upon hearing the news, we immediately deleted the Belgrave Crescent Twitter account. Of course, the last time we’d tweeted anything there was in 2017 so it wasn’t being used anyway, but we thought it was a good time to finally make it official.
WE ARE FINALLY back with the fifth instalment of our popular series, Talking Points, after a very long hiatus, and this week, we’re looking at the concepts of core values, false ideals, and hyperreality.
On my constant quest for a better complexion, I dream of the day when I will be able to get to work without using make up and not be asked by everyone if I am alright or having a bad day.
