A Really Useful Guide To Getting Your Style Mojo Back At Any Age

As I was approaching my forties, it occurred to me that I wasn't really inspired by what greeted me as I opened my wardrobe doors. Nothing felt as though it 'fit' who I was at that stage in my life. I'd lost my style mojo. The good news? I got it back and I'm going to share how I did it.

A Christmas Gift Guide for Pre-Teen Girls

I do not like choosing gifts for people. In fact, it's a huge source of stress for me. Will they like it? Do they already have it? What if they pretend to like it? What if they're disappointed? Thankfully, we have a long-held family tradition of sharing gift lists and I'm really grateful we do. With that in mind, and because this pre-teen age is one I find tricky to buy for, I roped Peggy into helping me craft this gift guide for pre-teen girls in the hope it'll help you in the same way our lists help me.
