Celebrity Lifestyle Blogs

Gwyneth started it with the launch of Goop in 2010 and I have noticed that increasingly celebrities are getting on the bandwagon and launching their own lifestyle websites.

I know there are a lot of critics out there but I personally enjoy browsing through them. For pop culture fans like me, you can really get a feel for the person behind the celebrity and get lots of tips in the meantime or even if it is just for a stickybeak.

I give them credit for being entrepreneurial, finding an additional income stream and being in control of their own image and brand.

Aside from Goop, a couple of my other favourite celebrity sites are:

The Tig

Recently launched by Meghan Markle (who plays Rachel Zane on one of my favourite shows, Suits), The Tig is described as 'a hub for the discerning palate - those with a hunger for food, travel, fashion & beauty". Her posts seem very genuine and this page has become one of my frequent reads.

Olivia Palermo

I never watched her on The City but I do love Olivia Palermo's style. Her site is more style than general lifestyle and the "I want what she's wearing" category is always full of outfit inspiration for me.

Music memories

I have the office to myself this afternoon so I can ditch the headphones and am turning up the music.

I used to be really up to date with music, read music blogs and keep up with new songs, artists, go to gigs.. but this has sort of faded out in the last few years. These days I seem to rely a lot on Spotify and their playlists and recommendations which is great for busy people!

But this afternoon I am feeling a bit nostalgic so reminiscing and playing some songs played at our wedding back in 2010 which is bringing back some beautiful memories.

Today I need to concentrate and write a briefing paper for my boss' boss. Being in an open plan office it means putting on my headphones and turning on Spotify to listen to their Afternoon Acoustic playlist. It's my go-to playlist and features this sweet little tune from John Mayer...

Back to blogging..

And I'm back... I have found myself with some more spare time up my sleeve recently and a friend suggested that I should throw myself back into blogging again so here I am!

It's crazy that it's been almost a year since my last post. 2015 was a bit of a pretty dramatic year for us on the health front so we are hoping for a lot less drama this year!

But it will be a big year with a new home purchase and us moving in mid-year. So that means some renovating and decorating which I will hopefully post about here. The pinning has already begun...!

In the meantime, we just enjoyed a lovely long Easter weekend at home and hosted some friends for lunch on Easter Saturday. First time we made a lamb roast (and it turned out great to our delight) and we also pulled out the same hot cross buns recipe that I used last year which was a hit. I think this will become an annual Easter tradition.

I really do love cooking for family and friends so I think my next hosting challenge will b…
