Dear,

My Christmas break can be summed up by wellies and table tennis. The wellies were barely off as we battled against storms Pia, Gerit and Henk (that rain!), but time indoors was spent sharpening my ping-pong skills (on a very old table retrieved from the murky depths of the garage). Is there anything more satisfying than the front hand smash that finally connects? So, my sporting predictions for 2024 are a move aside for padel and pickle, and a move forward for darts (bravo Luke Littler) and ping-pong…

Have a great week.

WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK

The Traitors is Back

Oh how I rejoiced to see The Traitors return, with Claudia Winkleman giving great British country style a turn in the spotlight. Castles, conniving and cunning, plus an excess of velvet and tweed – a delicious cocktail for must-watch January TV.

What is Girl Mossing?

Fed up with the Girl Boss trope, embrace the more gentle and chilled out Girl Moss one instead… Drape yourself in nature (literally) or read it as doing things that hint of a slower, more mindful life – reading a thick book by the fire, for example. 

The ‘Mom’ Haircut

Anyone who knows me will vouch that my hairstyle (slicked back bun) has not changed in 25 years. This might be the year to change and go for the lob, the long bob, aka the ‘mom’ cut, Tiktok’s hair trend of the moment... (though I suspect I already have it).  

 

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

The LYMA Supplement Starter Kit

Often considered 'the ultimate supplement solution’, LYMA makes its supplements with a global network of scientists, designed to boost your sleep quality, focus and immunity. The starter kit comes with 120 capsules (take two with breakfast and two with dinner), as well as a hand-crafted, anti-bacterial copper vessel. From £195
