I have a bit of a thing for watches, ever since my beloved Bvlgari watch died after a fall from height I’ve tried numerous different watches from an array of brands and none of them have felt quite right. The latest watch to my collection was kindly gifted to me via Trendhim, a website which designs quality men’s accessories that are fashionable and affordable. They currently have 13 brands within their portfolio and offer everything from suit accessories and wallets to Jewellery and watches.
I chose the Sinclair Mezzo Watch (£69) which features a Danish design and it features a Japanese Quartz movement. I was drawn to it because of the watch face, a design that I haven’t come across before and I also liked the look of the watch strap too.
Made of Stainless Steel for the strap, the watch also features a Zinc Alloy Case. With regards to the dimensions, the strap is 2cm wide with the face diameter being 4cm. The watch face itself is quite plain, the brand name quite clearly positioned at the top, but the only numbers visible sit in the middle of the face, at first, I thought this was a sticker, but it is in fact part of the design and around it, the hands work their round, so it is still easy to tell the time, without the numbers.
I like that this watch is one which could be worn for any occasion, not that we have been out much since the lockdown came into play, but it works just as well with formal attire as it does with the casual. The watch is also really lightweight, you barely register that it is on your wrist, which for me is another plus.
For £69, this watch is beautifully designed and made, it fits snug to my wrist without being too tight and I think I made a really good choice of watch. As an added extra when making a purchase, you can also choose whether or not to engrave your watch, add gift wrapping and even swap the box it is presented in to something a little more hard wearing too.
A lovely comfortable watch, it looks great and won’t read the bank.

So this post is a little belated, but I thought it was better late than never! Last November we headed back to New York and just had a wonderful time. Not only were we treated to perhaps they best weather I’ve ever had there – not a cloud in the sky and unseasonal warmth that left us in light jackets! – we got the chance to revisit some of our favourite places that we hadn’t been to in years, and discover some new gems too. So it’s time to share!! If you’re new to my New York guides, then it might be best to start with my original post (although it’s from 2017 so a little outdated now!), my revised post from 2020 is more current, but the best way to browse all my recommendations is with this map that has been viewed a whooping 140,000 times! How mad is that?! It’s pretty helpful if I do say so myself and contains colour-coded guides for hotels, brunches, dinners, coffees, shopping, nightlife, sightseeing and more…
TRIP TAKEAWAYS:
The jet lag is killer – especially when your little one has reprogrammed you to start every single day at 6am. The latest we managed to sleep till was 5am on the final morning!! Hack this by leaning into it, booking early breakfasts and dinners and being in bed by like 9pm. Not the most glamorous, especially in the city that never sleeps – but we weren’t actually too jet lagged when we returned home.
You no longer need a metrocard for the subway! They accept Apple pay – you just tap in when you start a journey. The subway is still the best, cheapest and quickest way to get around.
I think I’m converted to staying in Williamsburg. I really love the neighbourhood vibe and the restaurants there are incredible – I never felt like we were missing out by not being based in Manhattan. It just suits the stage of life that we’re in right now (although if I visited with my girlfriends I’d definitely want to be somewhere more central – just depends what you’re looking for!).
Leave extra space in your suitcase – the shopping is just too good (and yes I ended up paying for excess baggage on the way home!).
OUR FOUR-DAY ITINERARY:
I always think that it’s helpful to pop our itineraries here – just incase you’re looking for a good place to start and build out your trip from. Do keep in mind that we’re knackered parents. HA! There is SO much more that we could have packed in, but ultimately we wanted to be a little more of a slower paced trip there than we usually do. And also, we’ve been a few times before so didn’t do any of the classic tourist stuff because we’re lucky enough to have done them already. My previous two New York posts have itineraries that are more geared up for that..
DAY ONE
3PM – Arrive at JFK.
5PM – Check-in to hotel and drop off bags. We explored the local area and did a lot of our Christmas shopping in Smoochie Baby.
7PM – We had dinner at Cafe Mogadorand managed to fit in a slice from Joe’s afterwards too. I was still hungry, so we grabbed some ice cream and also took a detour to the local Trader Joe’s because I love supermarkets abroad.
9PM – Back to hotel and back to bed.
DAY TWO
9AM – Breakfast at Sunday in Brooklyn – will always recommend here.
10:30AM – Shopping in Williamsburg – find all my recommendations here. Definitely check out Credo. Back to hotel to drop off bags and grab some snacks.
2PM – Walk over the Williamsburg Bridge and to The Vintage Twin (great, but pricey, for Levi’s 501’s), then up to FAO Black to pick up something for the little guy.
7PM – Dinner at ABC Kitchenthen back to the hotel.
DAY THREE
9AM – Breakfast at the hotel and then off to Peloton Studios to do a live class!!
12PM – Head back to Williamsburg to get some lunch from Frankel’sstopped in a few shops on the way back to the hotel.
3PM – Chill time back at the hotel – we were tired from all the early starts!
7PM – Dinner at Rule of Thirdsthen back to the hotel.
DAY FOUR
9AM – Breakfast at Russ & Daughters to meet with Lizzy!
10:30 PM – Popped into Awoke Vintage, Whole Foods and then caught the subway to Sephora.
12PM – Grab a sandwich from Misson Sandwich Social. I recommend ordering online for pick-up if it’s a busy time – this placed gets packed!
Hello friends! It’s been a while since I posted here (thanks to everyone that reached out to make sure I was ok), but I’m back with a couple of snazzy new things to show you! First off, don’t miss my new blog header! I wanted something fresh, lighter, and more fun, and so I made it mahself. Second, I’m shooting my photos on a light background! The black background looked too heavy with the blog refresh, so I’m giving this a go.
Now, on to the nail art. This simple look was created by saying “yes, and…” You know that rule of improv where you’re supposed to take what your partner says and say “yes, and…”? It accepts what’s already put into play and then adds more to the scene. Well in this manicure, I just kept adding pieces! It looked nice at several stages throughout the process, but I decided not to stop and to keep adding elements.
I used the following polishes for this look:
LVX Military (basic)
LVX Monarch (gold)
Salon Perfect Oil Slick (black)
Formula X Push the Limits (red-orange)
Can we take a second to marvel at the beauty that is LVX Militaire, by the way? It’s such a great gorgeous grey with just a twinge of green, and it covered perfectly in two coats.
After applying the base, I used the polish brush of Monarch to dab some random gold shapes on top of it. Next, I grabbed my new Tati Chou Chou detail brush (splurge!) to add the thin black linework. The last step before topcoat was to apply the red and black dots; use a dotting tool for the smaller ones and a pencil eraser for the large ones.
I hope you enjoyed this look, and here’s crossing my fingers that the next post won’t be another month out! 🙂
Marigold and Calendula are both members of the Asteraceae family. They both sport vibrant orange to yellow petals. Although calendula is also known as “pot marigold,” it is not a true marigold. I’m not sure who or why someone named it that.
Calendula has been used since the 12th century for its medicinal properties most notably in Ayurvedic practices. The petals are made into an extract Studies abound on its healing ability on the skin specifically on burn victims. Due to its high level of vitamin A compounds (carotenoids) it is also known to calm skin irritations such as rashes, dermatitis, acne and chapped skin. In folklore, the flowers were strung above doors and under the bed to keep evil out.
Also known as the poor man’s saffron as the pot marigold can be used in cooking as a substitute. Marigold petals are edible and add a lovely tang to salads. The petals also make a lovely dye. Another benefit of marigolds is Mother Nature’s bug repellant, planting them around your tomatoes so the bugs won’t eat them.
Marigolds
Marigolds native to Mexico, were taken to Europe and Asia in the 16th century. There are over 50 species of this earthy plant. To the Welsh, marigolds were “herb of the sun” and if they were not open in the morning a storm was coming. They were used as love charms and were thought to produce visions of fairies if rubbed on the eyes. Others considered marigold poisonous due to the heavy aroma. In Mexico we were surrounded by marigolds on dia de los muertos, and while in India marigolds were omnipresent. Ironically it wasn’t in Mexico that I learned to appreciate marigolds but in Thailand and India.
We use calendula oil in our marigold toner, marigold foaming cleanser, and marigold bergamot dry oil.
The Many Health Benefits of Our Hydrating Moisture Mist
Lily Farm Fresh Skin Care’s Hydrating Moisture Mist is a facial mist with a long list of skin and health benefits that may surprise you. With a sweet floral scent, the purely botanical mist not only keeps the skin hydrated, supple and balanced all day long, the power of it’s ingredients may do much more than support healthy skin.
Hydrating ingredients include vegetable glycerin, which draws moisture from the air to the skin, and seaweed, which helps retain the moisture. While lavender refreshes and stimulates the skin, it also can help improve your mood, and fight stress. Chamomile eases many skin conditions like eczema and rashes, and it is a wonderful anti-inflammatory, soothing and normalizing. Chamomile also has been known to relieve anxiety and promote sleep.
Ylang ylang is the specially unique ingredient that may be the most powerful of all. This is one of the best essential oils for anxiety, thanks to its ability to lower the blood pressure effectively. A study published by PubMed showed its effectiveness vs placebo and other oils. Ylang ylang was showing real effectiveness against symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Ylang ylang’s powerfully calming effects have also been shown in initial studies to have a positive effect on the self-esteem of the people who tried it. That’s because generally low confidence comes when your emotional state being unbalanced and you are experiencing feelings of anxiety or depression. Ylang ylang’s calming effects actually boost your self-positivity. So just spiriting our Hydrating Moisture Mist on your face could give you a boost of confidence without you even realizing it!
Ylang ylang also has a history of use as a traditional, herbal treatment for conditions such as:
stomach distress
rheumatism
gout
malaria
headache
pneumonia
“I have used several different brands of facial mists over the years, but Lily Hydrating Moisture Mist is superior, by far. I don’t go a day without it. I especially enjoy spritzing it on after I apply my makeup. I love the fresh scent and also the way it makes my skin \feel — moist and beautiful! People are always commenting on how dewy my skin looks. What an awesome product!” – Ginger, Customer of Lily Farm Fresh Skin Care

The trial, published in Dermatology and Therapytested Ritual’s HyaCera formulation in a demographically diverse cohort. The research was funded by the product manufacturer, Ritual, with partial financial contribution from the hyaluronic acid supplier, Kewpie.
Study highlights whole-body skin improvements
The study enrolled 63 healthy adults between the ages of 26 and 64, and the cohort was randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo once daily for 12 weeks. Skin changes were measured at multiple points using a combination of imaging technology, dermatologist evaluations and participant feedback.
Participants in the supplement group reported significant reductions in crow’s feet wrinkles as well as improved skin smoothness after eight weeks.
Dermatologist assessments confirmed the improvements, with significant reductions in measures of deep and fine wrinkles over the 12 weeks observed only in the supplement group, the researchers wrote.
By the end of the study, significantly more people in the supplement group reported improvements in fine lines, skin radiance, elasticity and overall signs of aging.
Ingredient combination delivers on multiple skin fronts
The formulation combined low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, known for its ability to attract and retain moisture in the skin, with a wheat oil extract rich in ceramides and polar lipids, which help support the skin’s natural barrier.
While both ingredients have shown skin benefits separately in earlier studies, this was the first trial to test them together.
“It was hypothesized that these ingredients would act synergistically, with HA working in deeper layers to enhance elasticity and fullness and wheat oil extract supporting surface barrier function,” Adeline Grier-Welch, senior scientist at Ritual and lead researcher on the study, told NutraIngredients.
Designed to reflect real-world diversity
According to Grier-Welch, one of the trial’s goals was to reflect the real-world diversity of supplement users, a characteristic she described as often missing in skin-health research.
“This trial was designed to address a key gap in the literature,” she explained,“ adding that the ingredients’ “combined effects in a single product had never been tested in humans, particularly in a racially and ethnically diverse population spanning multiple skin types and ages.”
Participants included individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types II through VI and were balanced across gender, age, and background.
“The consistent improvements across this broad population suggest that HyaCera delivers meaningful skin benefits to a racially and ethnically diverse audience,” Grier-Welch added.
Moving forward, she noted that the findings could help inform product development in the beauty-from-within space.
“These results highlight that oral delivery can drive full-body skin benefits and that maintaining ingredient form and dosage based on previously validated research is critical for measuring meaningful results,” she said.

What Is the No-Mascara Makeup Look and Why Is It Trending?
The no-mascara makeup look is having a major moment. Think glossy skin, soft eyes, and naturally healthy lashes — the ultimate expression of the clean girl look. This trend celebrates minimalism and confidence, proving that natural makeup and mascara-free makeup can be just as striking as a full-glam beat.
Makeup artists and beauty lovers alike are leaning into minimal makeup that focuses on hydration, luminosity, and glowing skin as the focal point of your look. Skin that looks fresh, not filtered, is the foundation of it all.
How Do You Prep Your Skin for a Natural, Mascara-Free Finish?
Your makeup prep sets the tone for everything that follows in your mascara-free makeup look. Find your perfect primer for a smooth base. If you have dry skin, our hydrating primer and glowing primer should be applied for radiant skin. To minimize the look of pores and mattify your skin, Prime Time Original Foundation Primer should be your primer of choice. If you have redness, select our Prime Time Redness Reducing Primer to helps tone down winter flush. For primer with daily protection, Prime Time Daily Protecting Primer Mineral SPF 30 provides an extra layer of care against cold-weather stressors. All of these are the perfect starting point for a soft, natural makeup look.
How to Brighten and Even Out the Eyes Without Mascara
When you skip mascara, brightness around the eyes becomes key. Instead of reaching for lash volume, reach for luminosity.
A brightening concealer like Original Liquid Mineral Concealer helps erase shadows while keeping the skin hydrated. For extra radiance, dab on the Well-Rested Under Eye Brightener SPF 20 — a lightweight formula that delivers an instant lift.
These formulas provide natural coverage with a radiant concealer finish — ideal for a winter makeup routine that keeps eyes bright and skin healthy.
How Can You Define Your Eyes Without Using Mascara?
The secret to minimal lash makeup is all in soft definition. Rather than creating contrast, you’re creating harmony.
Try a natural eyeliner for subtle depth along the lash line — smudge it gently for that “barely there” effect. Add dimension with a subtle eyeshadow. Their soft satin and shimmer finishes create a soft eye look that feels romantic and modern.
The result? Eye definition that’s diffused, luminous, and completely effortless.
What About Brows — Do They Matter in a Mascara-Free Look?
Yes, absolutely. When lashes take a back seat, brows become the focus. Natural brows frame the face and give balance to a minimal makeup look.
Use the Mineralist Micro-Defining Eyebrow Pencil to sketch fine, hair-like strokes, then set with the Strength & Length Eyebrow Gel. This duo creates defined brows that stay soft and touchable — no stiffness, no flakes.
With brow gel keeping everything in place, your eyes will naturally appear more lifted, even without mascara.
How Do You Set and Enhance a Minimal Lash Look for All-Day Wear?
Once your minimal makeup is complete, setting is key. You want your glowy finish to last, without losing its natural dewiness.
A light dusting of Setting Powder helps control shine while maintaining radiance. For those who prefer a mist, spritz from the Setting Spray Collection to lock in long-lasting makeup that feels fresh and weightless.
The goal: a winter makeup look that glows naturally — never cakey, never flat.
What Lip Products Pair Best With a No-Mascara Look?
Complete your look with soft, glossy, and nourishing lips to balance the minimalist eyes. Dewy Lip Gloss Balm and Nourishing Lip Oil deliver glossy lips and hydrating lip balm benefits in one step.
Nourishing lipgloss keeps your winter lip care routine as simple — and beautiful — as your natural makeup look.
FAQs
How can I make my eyes stand out without using mascara?
Sweep on soft neutrals from the Mineralist Ultranatural Eyeshadow Palettethen add a whisper of Mineralist Lasting Eyeliner along the lash line. This pairing gives just enough eye definition to make your eyes pop—without ever breaking the no-mascara makeup vibe.
What’s the best way to brighten tired eyes for a no-mascara look?
Try Well-Rested Under Eye Brightener SPF 20 or Original Liquid Mineral Concealer to awaken and refresh. These brightening concealers deliver under-eye makeup that reflects light beautifully for a natural glow.
Which primers work best for a radiant, minimal makeup look?
Use Prime Time Hydrate + Glow Primer to achieve a hydrating primer finish that creates a glowing base and radiant skin.
How do I keep a no-mascara look from fading during the day?
Set your base with the setting powder or a mist from the Setting Powder & Spray Collection. Both options help maintain long-lasting makeup and a glowy finish.
What lip color complements a soft, minimal lash look?
Opt for Dewy Lip Gloss Balm or Nourishing Lip Oil— hydrating lip options that bring glossy lips and winter lip care together for the perfect finishing touch.
Always think of your natural hair type. Extensions should complement, not compete.
Go for a density that matches your hair’s thickest point (usually near the roots).
Don’t forget your lifestyle. If you love low-maintenance styling, stick to lighter densities. If you’re all about bold transformations, lean into longer, denser options.
For those with shorter hair lengths, ask help from your stylist to cut your Halo for a flawless blend.
Choosing the right Halo isn’t just about picking a color you love, it’s about nailing the length and density so it blends into your own hair like it was always meant to be there.
Too long, and it can look a little “wiggy.” Too thick, and suddenly it’s more drama than glam. But, when you find the sweet spot? It’s magic. Your hair looks fuller, longer, and 100% natural (aka nobody can tell you’re wearing extensions).
Think of us as a hair extension pro who’s already made the mistakes—like buying a length way too long for our haircut, or realizing we should’ve gone up a density to match the ends—so you don’t have to.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to pick your Halo’s length and density, plus share stylist-approved tips to make the process super easy.
How Do You Choose a Halo’s Length?
Length plays a huge role in how your Halo looks and feels. Honestly? It’s the foundation of your hairstyle; every inch makes a difference in how your extensions fall, blend, and frame your face.
12 Inches: Collarbone Grazing
Perfect for those with naturally shorter hair or anyone who wants subtle volume without a dramatic length change. A 12-inch Halo blends beautifully with bobs, lobs, or shoulder-grazing cuts. It’s also the easiest to blend because the gap between your natural hair and extensions is minimal.
16 Inches: Everyday Natural
The sweet spot for most people, 16 inches lands just above the chest and works for almost every face shape. This length offers versatility—it’s long enough to curl, braid, or style up while still looking natural for day-to-day wear. If you’re new to extensions, 16 inches is a safe, universal choice that won’t feel overwhelming.
20 Inches: Glamorous Length
For those craving extra length, 20 inches delivers drama. This option reaches down to the waist and instantly transforms your look. Keep in mind, though, that longer lengths require more styling effort to blend naturally, especially if your hair is short. Layers, waves, or curls will help soften the transition. This length is perfect for special occasions, statement looks, or anyone who has always dreamed of mermaid hair.

How Do You Choose a Halo’s Density?
Length gets all the attention, but density is just as important. Density refers to how much hair is on your Halo, measured by weight. At Sitting Pretty, we offer different densities so your extensions don’t just add length—they match the fullness of your natural hair.
Here’s what you need to know:
Fine Density
Best for people with naturally fine or medium hair who want lightweight volume. If your hair can’t comfortably support thicker extensions, sizing down ensures The Halo blends without looking bulky.
Medium Density
A versatile, everyday option that works for almost all hair types. This is our most popular density because it strikes the perfect balance: enough fullness for styling, but still lightweight.
Thick Density
Made for those with really fine or thinning hair, or anyone who loves big, voluminous styles. This denser Halo ensures that your extensions amp up your hair’s bulk so the blend looks seamless.
When Should You Size Up Your Halo?
Depends on the look you want to achieve, really. As a rule of thumb, we recommend you size up in density if your natural hair is ultra thin. A thicker Halo ensures you get as much volume as you want, without it looking too fake.
Size down if your hair is on the medium or thick side already. A lighter Halo won’t overwhelm your strands and will still look more natural.
Think of density as the harmony between your Halo and your real hair—it’s not about having the most hair, but the right amount. So, feel free to layer densities or switch between different types of Halos!

Always start with your natural hair type in mind, extensions should complement, not compete.
If in doubt, go for a density that matches your hair’s thickest point (usually near the roots).
Don’t forget your lifestyle. If you love low-maintenance styling, stick to lighter densities. If you’re all about bold transformations, lean into longer, denser options.
For those with shorter hair lengths, aka anything that falls on your shoulders and up, layering is everything. Ask your stylist to cut your Halo for a flawless blend.
