Beyond the Shadow of Greatness

George R Vaughan met up with jazz singer Viktoria Tolstoy, great, great grand-daughter of Leo Tolstoy, to find out about life, music and just what it’s really like to be the descendant of one of the greatest historical figures the world has ever known.

A Thing For Bling

With their “founding father” taking a step back earlier this year, George R Vaughan caught up with Pamela Harper the new CEO of Theo Fennell, one of the UK’s most successful and iconic companies.

A Period of Relief

Bloating, stomach cramps, hot flushes and temper tantrums; that inescapable feeling of dread. No it’s not the side effects of too much reality TV. Just like birth and death, another inevitability of female life is the dreaded monthly period. Poppy Watt found a company who don’t promise to take away the pain but they can help deflect it with a touch of personal glamour.

Perfect Fit

Statistics show that women's prime motivation when choosing underwear is comfort and support. However in reality, many women are still not aware of the serious consequences of wearing a badly fitting bra as Poppy Watt discovered when she met up with Sharon Harrison, Marketing Manager for Playtex UK

Eats For Treats

Whilst everyone involved in the chocolate industry might claim to be an expert, there’s only one person who can actually wear the title with some authority. George R Vaughan caught up with the universally recognised king of all things chocolate, to discuss the sweetest of culinary obsessions.
Tree Time

From turkey stuffing to present buying, getting through the festive season often feels like trying to run the 100 metre hurdles up to your waist in water. On a recent shopping trip in search of a suitable Christmas tree, Poppy Watt faced yet another challenge over the subject of whether to go real or fake this December.
That Sinking Feeling

George R Vaughan spent an evening in the company of pirates at the new production of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island but discovered that this vessel was more ship-wreck than sea worthy, in what ultimately proved to be a rather disappointing adventure.

BIRDS EYE VIEW @ THE LATIN AMERICA FILM FESTIVAL

Film fans everywhere should look out for the forthcoming Latin American Film Festival which hits London this week in association with Bird's Eye View. Click on the article for more information on how to get involved.
Going NUTural

With the yuletide season upon us, Poppy Watt dips into a festive favourite and reminds us that nuts are not just for Christmas but all year round.
Keeping It Simple

Women are always thinking about the best products for their skin but the same cannot be said for teenagers. The change in hormones for both young boys and girls can be quite traumatic. Poppy Watt met a woman who recognised these dilemmas and came up with her own solution to deal with them.
