    CF Health: My 20-year love affair with yoga

    15/08/2019 - By Lydia

    Yoga has been my go-to for 20 years – everything from the loss of my parents to boy trouble has lead me to the mat. I love encouraging people, like me, who don't fit the 'yoga mould' onto the mat so they can access the amazing physical and emotional benefits…

    What my six-month shopping detox taught me

    09/08/2019 - By Lydia

    I set myself the challenge not to buy any new clothing for six months. I had realised that often my purchases were linked to insecurities - if I had a big pitch meeting at work, was feeling low or just wanted to 'reward myself' - I would buy something. Sad,…

    Object of Desire: Evermore London Candles

    04/08/2019 - By Lydia

    This month's Object of Desire is my latest find that I couldn't keep to myself, as from your excitable DMs I know you're partial to a luxe candle too; as someone who works in branding for a living I landed on their website and immediately got *the feels*.

    CF Style: My lifelong love of vintage

    29/07/2019 - By Lydia

    Whilst my friends were spending all their allowance at River Island and Tammy Girl on a Saturday trip into town, I was delving around second-hand and charity shops for ‘granny chic’ cast-offs. This is not an anecdote to make me look cool, more to illustrate my love of the kooky,…

    CF Family: When you’re one and done… until you’re not

    23/07/2019 - By Lydia

    I am stubborn to a fault. I will dig my heels in waaaaay past the point I remembered why I'd made a particular standpoint, simply because I hate admitting defeat (read: I'm wrong). However after 4 years of being 100% 'one and done' after the birth of our first son,…

    CF Career: Why I joined The Allbright club

    18/07/2019 - By Lydia

    Rather than being 'anti-men' The Allbright's focus isn't on male-bashing, far from it - the female members who join their Rathbone Place club and the newly opened Maddox Street sister site in Mayfair are too busy running their own incredibly successful businesses to worry what the patriarchy are up to.

    Object of Desire: French Connection Home collection

    14/07/2019 - By Lydia

    I wrote about my love of pure linen bedlinen last summer; this year I wanted to share my left of field find... French Connection's Home range. Who knew?! Am I last to the party? I didn't even know it was a thing... and what a thing it is...

    CF Health: How to navigate a social life without alcohol

    90% of the time it genuinely isn't a big deal for me but recently, after a few *interesting* interactions around the topic of my abstinence with well-meaning friends and random strangers in bars - it's made me want to thrash it all out...

    30 second review: Nuud natural deodorant

    09/07/2019 - By Lydia

    After a rather whiffy attempt with a crystal deodorant in the early Noughties, I'd never risked a 'natural deodorant' until Nuud.

    Sunday small brand love: Wovenology

    07/07/2019 - By Lydia

    My name is Lydia. I have a thing for baskets. I mean, it could be worse couldn't it?! As addictions go it's pretty tame, but still - my cravings for new woven vessels are STRONG and hard to sate.
