So here we are; Is It Warm In Here? We’ll look at the issues that affect us all, from health to empty nest syndrome but we promise we won’t mention Brexit. We’ll find gorgeous yet comfy fashions and skincare that hopefully will do what it says on the tin.

We’re all on this journey together so let’s have some fun. Sign up to our social media platforms and join the conversation.

May you gently glow, Jo, The Editor
