Daily motivation is something I’ve struggled to find while staying so close to home for so many months, away from friends and colleagues, without the stimulation of new sights, sounds and smells, so I’ve set myself some goals to try to help with staying motivated – and one of them is to walk 100km this month.

Stylist launched in October 2009, and since then it’s become famous for innovation and an ability to stand out and surprise. I remember my first time collecting a Stylist, picking up a copy of the freemium magazine outside Angel tube station on my way home from a class at City University for my Masters programme. Since then I’ve watched … Continue reading
