3 things I couldn't live without

There are some things in life that just make life worth living and when I reflect upon the 3 things that I couldn’t live without there are a few clear things that beat out the competition. As someone who has recently given up a bunch of diet-related things that other people might say they can’t live without (flour, sugar, all animal products), I wanted to share with you today the things that I just simply couldn’t give up! Animals I…

Ever since I have known him, my husband has been very particular about his clothing from keeping his shoes shiny to choosing the right fit for his trousers and shirts. Although you will find Vlad bumming around the house in shorts and a t-shirt whenever he leaves the house to go to work or meet with friends he usually dresses up a little to make a good impression. Luckily, just as the heat arrived in the UK Vlad was offered…

I was pretty scared when I changed from a 9-5 office worker commuting into London every day to a working from home freelance consultant. I knew nothing about starting up and running my own business, registering as a sole trader, doing my own taxes, sending out invoices and making sure I got paid for my work! Luckily, my parents have their own business and I was able to get plenty of advice and support from them when it came to getting…

5 Dull But Necessary Forms Of Self Care

October 6, 2022 in Health

Self-care is the ultimate buzzword of 2019. And rightly so, because how can we care for another if we can’t care for ourselves? But the term is often thought of as a way of rewarding ourselves, a luxury that we earn rather than a necessity we require to maintain our wellbeing. Our imaginations conjure up images of unwinding in a candlelit bubble bath with a good book or a makeup-free duvet day of movie marathons & comfort food, but self…

Review: Bill’s Vegan Menu

October 2, 2022 in Lifestyle, Reviews

I know this is a little late for a Veganary post but I recently had the chance to try out the new Vegan menu from Bill’s Restaurant in Canterbury that they launched especially for the occasion. If you didn’t know, I became a Vegan for Veganuary 2018 and have continued it on for over a year now. It is always exciting when a restaurant launches a new vegan dish or menu so I was excited to try out the one…

Why I re-branded my blog

September 28, 2022 in Lifestyle

You might have noticed that I recently re-branded my blog to Life in Lilac after nearly 6 years of being called Stylish London Living. I decided that it was time for a change. You may well be wondering what on earth persuaded me to make this change after such a long time and you’re right in thinking that there are many cons to doing this (as a digital marketeer I know these cons more than most!) so I wanted to…

Organic Shop Haircare Range

Since starting my recent health kick I have been getting more into eco-friendly and organic products so I was excited when I was given the chance to review some organic hair care products from  Organic Shop. I was sent a set of three products to try out; a shampoo, a conditioner and a hair mask from a range of my choice, I went for Argan & Amla. Organic Shop is dedicated to combining natural beauty recipes with a modern twist to create products…

Review: Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap The Orchard Theatre Dartford

September 26, 2022 in Things to do
The Mousetrap Cast

Last night I was lucky enough to attend the opening night of The Mousetrap at The Orchard Theatre in Dartford. This classic Agatha Christie play is a murder mystery (oh course!) which I knew nothing about before the performance – which was great as I spent the night guessing who had done it along with the rest of the audience. The Mousetrap is the longest-running show of any kind in the history of theatre! The play began life as a…
