Who Am I Really?

Recently I have been getting lots of questions on

my FB page from new followers who want to know

more about me-the face behind my biz.

I do keep most of my personal life off

Facebook and Instagram.

So instead I thought I would interview myself and give you

some juicy tit-bits you might not know.

So here goes:

What was my dream job as a child?

OK, so after realising I couldn't be a mermaid,

I then wanted to be a Charlies Angel. They were 

the "girl-power" of the time.

I guess something about that stayed with me as 

I went on to become a Criminal Psychologist.

Why jewellery?
You could say diamonds are in my DNA.
My great-grandmother was one of the first Gemologists
who was allowed to go down into the Kimberly diamond mines
in South Africa. You can read more here

Greatest Strength?

Focused

Something that may surprise you

about me?

I hate confrontation in any shape or form

(a typical Piscean some will say ;-)

Favourite Quote?

Best Piece of Advice?

My Mum always said "if you have the choice

of being right or being kind, always choose

kind". Her favourite quote from Wayne Dyer.

Hardest Piece of Criticism?

I was told by a teacher at school that there was
no point applying for University as I would never last
(as I am so easily distracted). She suggested selling perfume
in Selfridges was the best I could do! Needless to say I got 
a First at University ;-)

Who would I most like to meet?

It's quite hard for me to be in awe

of  celebrities as such. But I would have liked to have 

met Estée Lauder (after reading her biography) and also Elvis!

Morning routine?

 Meditation and writing in my Five Minute Journal.

Breakfast; this is usually a bagel! Don't judge me.

I never check emails in the morning as my day becomes too

reactive. So if you are about to die it's best you call me as 

you would have died by the time I get the email ;-)

Favourite Apps?

Accuweather
Spotify

Evernote
Word Hippo

Favourite Perfume at the moment?

Diorella by Christian Dior (my signature scent since 
I was 18).

Go-to Websites:

Amazon

Victoria Health
Cult Beauty

One song that always makes me feel happy?

I have a Playlist on Spotify that is full of

all uplifting songs that I put on as soon

as I sit down to work.

One that always make me happy and fires me up is

called "The Boss" by Diana Ross

The next thing on my "treat me" list?

This bag by Bottega Veneta

My one regret?

That my Mum didn't live to see me happily married

(but she had met my Husband who was my boyfriend

at the time and she loved him to bits).

Fictional figure I would  be?

Nancy Drew (more Miss Marple now though!)

I buy every week?

Fresh flowers every Friday. It's become

part of my "weekend begins" ritual.

Is there a Mr Luxuria?

The elusive "Mr Luxuria" is rarely seen on Instagram

as he is not a fan of selfies and I also hate

having my picture taken ;-)
The picture below was a "bribed" shot.

 I have been happily married  for the last 20+ years.
and have no children (which was a conscious decision).

There you have it. A few little tit-bits

to help you understand more of who I am.
