The Image Of Perfection via Mya.co.uk In my teens and throughout university I tortured myself horribly to remain slim, so I was pretty shocked when I came across this info-graph over on the MYA website regarding societies image of the perfect body.I see endless amounts of articles in magazines blaming the fashion industry for glamorizing size 0 but the public tell a very different story preferring hour glass body shapes, which hasn’t differed over the last decade. where Marilyn Monroe once reined now curvaceous Kim Kardashian and Beyonce hold the thrown.I’ve always maintained that the fashion industry isn’t to blame, yes sometimes errors of judgment are made and models aren’t helped as they should such as Ana Carolina Reston. But I believe this more falls down the the lack of education on offer to young girls and boys regarding healthy diet and exercise in school, I certainly wasn’t ever told that those burgers on offer in my school canteen, available day in day out, would not be good for me every day nor that skipping breakfast or any meal for that matter was equally as damaging.And as we’re seeing from the likes of Jen Selter on Instagram, who has amassed almost 1 million followers, being curvy doesn’t mean you are unfit!

Hello April, the most exciting month of them all!
Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership
