The trees are changing colour and weโre looking at our make-up bags and thinking about subtle shifts in shades of foundation, lippy and eye shadow, as well as post sun skincare. Hair, too, might go a tad warmer to reflect this golden season, as well as needing some deep TLC.
And itโs a New Termโฆ Rather than back to school, of course, itโs back to our offices, which weโve kept away from as much as possible in August. (Hope youโve all had a bit - well, quite a lot - of R&R too.) So now weโre actually excited to be back, doing the digital equivalent of sharpening our pencils and starting a nice new exercise book.
Talking of books, our Very Exciting Book Project with Harper Collins is progressing apace. Our wonderful longterm designer Jenny Semple is on the team now and weโre hoping other friends from past Beauty Bibles will be coming on board too.

Have a wonderful autumn
With love,
If you're someone who meditates but you know you have a tricky week ahead โ a packed schedule, travelling for work and/or staying in a hotel with noisy neighbours โ pre-plan for failure. Happiness expert Gretchen Rubin recmmends that you anticipate as many challenges as you can and specifically think about what you'll do and say to overcome them. (For instance, a walking meditation in a nearby park, rather than trying to zone out the person in the neighbouring hotel room who's got breakfast TV on too loud...)
During these cold months, chest rub can come into its own, but hereโs an alternative use: use it to soothe aching feet. Try applying a thick coat of chest rub and covering feet with a pair of socks before going to bed at night. When you wake up, sore tired feet will be both moisturised and rejuvenated.
The kindest thing you can do during an at-home manicure or pedicure is to apply cuticle cream to nails or feet first, then soak them in water for five minutes before pushing back cuticles with a rubber hoof stick. This creates the perfect โframeโ for your brushwork.
Freshen up combs and hairbrushes by soaking them in a solution of 600 ml warm water and two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda. Swirl them around in the water to loosen up all the debris caught between the teeth, then let them soak for about half an hour. Rinse well and dry flat on a towel before using.
We love this quote from our old friend Eve Lom: โTrue beauty comes from feeding your mind, as well as your skin.โ
