Psychologies Magazine
This month Psychologies magazine has relaunched and I have been sent a copy to review. Psychologies describes its typical reader as 'the most interested and interesting women in the room'. Which is quite refreshing as is Suzy Greaves' editors letter in which she says, 'We don't care what age you are, what you look like, and we really don't care what handbag you buy- what matters to us is what you think and how you feel'.
I found The Life Lab and The Boost sections of the magazine most interesting. The Life Lab consists of articles that encourage personal growth and development. Articles like, Love your to-do list and Tiny Changes, Huge Results about changing habits were interesting for me. As a new Mum I am learning all the time about how to deal with new challenges and how to attain a work/life balance.
The Boost is the most recognisable section of the magazine covering beauty, wellbeing, home, living, food and travel. I found Reclaim the G word(G stands for Glamour by the way) an interesting read. The article covers the history of glamour and its meaning throughout history - from the 19th Century to how we perceive it now. The article features many gorgeous products that would be a dream to use from Charlotte Tilbury's retoucher and bronzers to Tom Ford's nail lacquer. I have every faith in the Psychologies beauty team as the go to girls for glamour advice this party season.
Home is where the heart is and this sentiment was reflected well in the home section of the boost in article, I feel grounded in this house where textile designer, Isatu Funna invites us into her beautiful family house and talks about her sense of home and what it means to her.
With Christmas speedily approaching I was inspired to get crafting by the Let There Be Light article which showcased some lovely seasonal decorations from displaying candles to whitewashing pine cones and making paper chains. If you've not got too much time for crafts you can skip to the Create a warm glow

Speaking of dreaming, after reading Winter Wonderlandabout magical winter wonderland getaways - think glamping in Scandinavia - in winter yes, but such beautiful scenery it's worth wrapping up for! Or if your more of a city break person, Just for the Weekend...be a Parisienne gave you all the reasons why you need to book that mini-break to Paris now. I don't need any pushing, but the review of the Hotel de la Tremoille was very tempting.
Sally brampton has the final word and in here's to fairy lights and friends she wraps up the December issue perfectly with words about friendship and it being the small things that matter and bring us hope and joy.
