I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard a woman pull herself apart, I’ve done it myself. Whether you feel not thin enough, not tall enough, not clever enough, not successful enough, you’re just not enough. As children we’re conditioned to learn and think in a certain way.

As we get older we tend to loose hair and noticeably, our once Cara Delevingne brows now look rather sparse. As a make-up artist I know the importance that brows have on framing the face amongst many things.

We love the wonderful and talented Ruby Hammer – she’s everything Beautiful Thinking stands for..

56 years young, Ruby looks as fantastic now as she did decades ago!

This week marks Eating Disorders Awareness Week, a subject very close to my heart - as I’ve had my own battle with the disease. Like the menopause, it’s something of a taboo subject, and yet it affects 1 in 3 adults in the U.K. - and 15% of them are middle-aged women. 

Within seconds of a Skype meeting with super model, actress and artist Denice Lewis, I was struck by her incredible beauty.  I’d of course seen photos and films that she’d appeared in, and we’d built up a on-line friendship before she graciously agreed to share her Beautiful Thinking with us, but it was still something to see her in the flesh; well almost.

I went to meet and chat to Kirsty Harrison regarding nutrition during the menopause as I know what we feed our bodies is vital, she amazed me with her knowledge, advice and care she gave me. So Lizzie and I thought this information would be great to share with everyone.

Not only do Essentials smell incredible and have a great influence on our senses, the properties and benefits of different oils also make them versatile and can help improve an abundance of health issues.

As we get older, the skin on our face generally gets thinner and we may lose weight on our face. Due to lack of sleep and thinning skin, most of us tend to notice the appearance of dark circles under the eye.

Recently, I caught up with a client who’d taken the brave decision to divorce her husband and begin her life again as a forty something singleton. 

My go-to look for a night out is a Smokey eye and a nude lip.

When January hits us after the excesses of Xmas and New Year we immediately think to detox our bodies, diet, hit the dry January/february button, juice everything in sight… the lot!

For those of you who’ve embraced “dry January”, the end is in sight! If you’ve come this far, huge congratulations!  Some of you will no doubt be feeling both physically and mentally better, and probably looking good.
