“I kick-start every day with hot water and lemon and taking my range of supplements. Making sure you take the right vitamins can be an overwhelming prospect, but this includes everything you need in one. I have noticed a huge improvement to my gut health, energy and mood. It also tastes completely delicious – like a shot of acai.”
“My weekends in January are spent mainly in activewear doing a combination of Pilates and yin yoga, and ALO is my favourite sports brand. The Airlift collection is very flattering, and I like their simple designs, which aren’t overly branded, and the colour palette is spot-on.”
“Sarah’s treatments at her elegant salon, tucked away on Pavilion Road by Sloane Square, are essential for me every four to six weeks. They are totally indulgent, but also super-targeted to my skin’s needs, and include everything from micro-needling to LED, oxygen and effective drainage massage. For a well-established brand, Sarah continually embraces the latest scientific development and keeps her clients’ needs and wants front of mind.”
“This miracle skincare course is, in my opinion, the most revolutionary in the Augustinus Bader range. The product is so concentrated, it’s packaged in three small vials. It restores and strengthens dull complexions (the ideal offset after Christmas) and the results are instant. It’s also got the added boost of a Vitamin D activator – perfect for the winter months when our levels of this essential nutrient can be low.”
“This is essential for me; every January I go to the original home of longevity, Clinique la Prairie, in Montreux, for some R&R. I choose the master detox programme; it’s a week of various tests in the hands of Switzerland’s best doctors, supremely healthy yet delicious food, the crème de la crème of treatments, (the Thai massage is life-changing), rounded off with long walks around Lac Léman (otherwise known as Lake Geneva, on the edge of which the Clinique is situated). I leave with a sense of peace in my soul and a calm mind ready for the year ahead.”
“I live in this coat in the winter; it’s like being wrapped in a duvet. Alex has been a great friend and supporter since the beginning, and I admire everything she designs. Her sporting range is endlessly brilliant – she’s very clever with the cut, which is always a unisex style. Nothing is too tight or restrictive, which also looks much better on the body.”
“I am a huge believer in visualisation, and have always been led by my intuition, and this book is a great resource. If you give the right energy, you get the right energy back. Reading about manifestation gives me the strength to stick to my guns and believe in the unique way the universe works. You have to trust yourself and the world.”
“No one knows denim like Victoria Beckham. These jeans are a brilliant fit. I have them in multiple washes, but I wear dark indigo at the office and onwards. I feel smart and pulled together, but also comfortable and appropriate for the various demands of the day.”
“I love a bath ritual, and Bamford products are second to none. The ingredients are so refined and concentrated – Carole Bamford never cuts corners on quality – and this contains magnesium and arnica montana. As soon as I remove the lid, I am hit by the most intoxicating aroma, which calms and restores instantly.”
“I am SPF obsessed and won’t go out without it, even in the darkest winter months. This glowscreen sits well over make-up and gives you that warm glow we lack through winter.”
“Pilates changed my life and my posture, and Bryony’s app fits my lifestyle perfectly. It’s become my go-to when the week gets too busy. She has bite-size classes that work for me and it’s a lifesaver when I’m travelling, as it allows me to be consistent with my workout.”
“I always have lip balm close to hand, and Summer Fridays’ are the best. I love the buttery, super-hydrating and delicious vanilla, which gives a sexy gloss, too. You’ll find this in my pocket, gym bag, handbag – everywhere! I have a few on the go at any one time.”
“I never knew there was so much to brushing your hair! This impeccable range also ensures oils are distributed evenly for lighter shinier locks, it stimulates the scalp, detangles and conditions and produces long-term hair density, while being beautifully designed. I love the vintage appeal and terracotta or almond green.”
“Gucci Westman is the queen of skin care-make-up hybrid products. Her complexion drops are packed with oils so are wonderfully hydrating while giving the right amount of coverage. I’m incredibly lucky to work with so many inspiring and powerful women who have built mega-brands according to their daily demands and beliefs and values. I find it incredibly inspiring.”
“This will always be my signature scent; the most delicious combination of rose and rhubarb, it’s so fresh and delicate, and in the winter months it’s more addictive than ever as it takes me forward to spring.”
“I adore Trudon fragrances and their overall sense of aesthetic – this smart navy glass vessel looks good anywhere.”
