Social distancing, washing your hands, staying two metres apart from people, and working from home if you can, are all pieces of advice you have probably been hearing for the past week at a more intense rate.

Last year when supermodel Naomi Campbell shared her tips for travelling, which included sanitizing her entire plane seat, most people were slightly alarmed with the drastic levels she went to in order to ensure her safety.

Now more than ever I believe we are scrutinizing appearance and beauty standards.

About a week ago, I learnt that AF Vandevorst was closing.

My personal taste for weddings leans toward small and intimate, but for some strange reason I always enjoy the over-the-top grandeur for other people.

I took sleep for granted for a big part of my life.

I have never really been interested in any sort of sport or sporting event.

Sometimes it can feel as if concerns surrounding climate change is an upper-class problem, primarily because access to alternatives that would be better for the environment are more expensive and very often inaccessible to the masses.

I recently came across an article that highlighted a new trend called tradwife, short for traditional wife.

I was trying to avoid writing about the Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s withdrawal from the frontlines of the royal family.

Growing up, I avoided the sun mainly because it made me sweat and I would always feel sticky and uncomfortable.

I think I managed to maintain my 2019 resolution as it relates to fashion consumption fairly well.

My therapist once told me that the holiday season is the one of the busiest periods for her and in the industry in general.

Who knew gym for your face would be an actual thing?

They say the only thing constant is change but being stuck in a rhythm feels so comfortable and safe. 

Maybe it is the winter, or maybe it’s the fact that I am feeling extremely nostalgic about a Guyanese-style Christmas with December around the corner, or a combination of both but of recent I find myself making Guyanese treats.

I have done virtually nothing, and Christmas has already started to exhaust me.

One hundred and sixty minutes. That is the amount of time I spent cycling this past Monday. 

My eyes always light up at showroom windows when I pass them.

I don’t find Germany incredibly capitalist. I suppose it’s because at its core and surface level socialist policies are so strongly interwoven.
