Their online platform shows their forever pieces and timeless
essentials you can wear season, after season. We discuss how
they have been adjusting to working at home and their
day-to-day self-care routines.

How do you spend your time at home during self isolation?

"I am busier than ever, between looking after my two small children and trying to get a normal day work done - I don't have enough hours in the day! Add cooking cleaning and tidying up and I feel like in my 'normal life' I was a total slacker!"

How are you juggling working mother balance at home with your kids?

"By tag teaming with my husband and my sister who lives with us - every night we sit down and look at our diaries and carve out some working time. I don't know what I would do without them."

What are some of your bedtime routines?

"I have started to make a point of sticking to a relaxing bedtime routine that involves a relaxing shower, applying my favourite beauty products and reading a book - all in my ASCENO pyjamas of course."

How do you spend your time at home during self isolation?

 

"I try to break the day up into units of time like Hugh Grant in About a Boy.

Hydrating face mask, one unit. New York Times, one unit, live pilates class with Julie Pujols Benoit 2 units, cooking a new pasta recipe, 1.5 units: a very long classic saga film you'd watch otherwise: 3 units! When my siblings and I were little my mother used to remind us that only boring people get bored."I thought it was such an annoying thing to say. But now I find myself repeating it to myself as a daily motivation to make the best of things right now!"

 

What are some of your bedtime routines?

"I have started to make a point of sticking to a relaxing bedtime routine that involves a relaxing shower, applying my favourite beauty products and reading a book - all in my ASCENO pyjamas of course."

What are your book/podcast recommendations?

"This Is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay - I am sure most people have read it but if you haven't you should it is also very poignant right now as we rely on the NHS so much. I am re-reading Donna Tart's first novel Secret History and I have fallen in love with it all over again."

What is your self-care routine?

"This would imply I have a moment to spare - Ha! I am managing a long bath in the evenings with bath salts and a quick oxygen mask from Beauty Pie."

How do you get dressed in the morning?

"Chic but comfortable. Like my ASCENO pj's or linen shirt, Joseph leather leggings and a good cashmere jumper. Anything that is luxurious and cosy at the same time is a winner.
