{Beauty} Nutrition made simple.

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of having a nutritional consultation with Vicki Edgson at Lomax on Fulham Road. Vicki has worked in the nutrition field for the past fifteen years and has just written her sixth book on the subject, and if that's not good enough for you, then just take my word for it, she's great. 

Speaking with Vicki was extremely helpful. She really took the time to listen to how my day-to-day worked, and how I could make small changes to get rid of the extra baby weight. She has actually changed my attitude about healthy cooking and has made me enjoy preparing meals for my family! 
In addition to providing bespoke nutritional counseling and writing books, she also hosts amazing retreats. One of the upcoming trips is in Ibiza! During the one week retreat you'll shop at the local organic markets, learn to make your diet as natural as possible, while also toning up using yoga, swimming, horseback riding, and Tai Chi. This amazing retreat even won the Tattler Spa Guide's award for "Most Life-Changing Retreat" for 2012. Who's signing up? 

If you can't make is to Spain, I would definitely recommend booking a consultation with Vicki, she may just change your life.

{Shopping/Entertainment} MIC Girls Browse Bikini Art

Last Thursday I was invited to attend an "Art Meets Fashion" event at Biondi Couture, my favorite swimsuit boutique on Old Church Street.

Biondi collaborated with British artist Erin Petson, who created stunning visual interpretations of a selection of this season's key looks from the boutique which included footwear by Nicholas Kirkwood, jewelry by Bex Rox and bespoke swimwear pieces by Biondi Couture. 

Oh, and the Made in Chelsea girls were there. Millie Mackintosh, Louise Thompson and Rosie Fortescue enjoyed their tequila cocktails while browsing the artwork. 

Make sure to visit Biondi before you go on holiday this summer to fill your suitcase with all of their lovely kaftans, bikinis, and fabulous beach accessories!
