10 AUTUMN ‘HEALTHY GETAWAY’ ESSENTIALS!

09/10/2020

The summer may be well and truly kaput, yet your travel aspirations invariably live on… The deluge of the past week has unquestionably marked the seasonal transition to Autumn, and whilst we weren’t exactly travelling abroad en-mass over the summer, the ‘Blighty staycation’ certainly came in handy as a welcome relief from cabin fever. Whilst I have around 8 more weeks until my little one bids a hello to the big wide world, I will try to punctuate the weekends with a few more mini countryside/coastal getaways. Given my size as a heavily pregnant woman, the items filling my getaway bag look altogether different to my usual Active Escapes! This post shows 10 key essential items I pop in the bag when I’m after a wellbeing escape to some wonderful part of the country, as you might be considering this ‘fall’! Read on, dear reader… (more…)

MEN’S + WOMEN’S HEALTH FEATURES!

10/08/2015

A super quick post to say how thrilled I am to have featured in two of my ultimate ‘wellness bibles’ this month – Women’s and Men’s Health. I’m a massive fan of both magazines, and routinely flick through them to access fresh inspiration, so it’s an absolute dream to be a part of them! In Men’s Health I’m wearing a gorgeous blue and white striped ‘Leda body suit‘ by Lucas Hugh (the founder of which I interviewed HERE) paired with some white high wedged Converse trainers. In the Women’s Health shoot I went all autumnal, with an asymmetric top from NikeLab, Casablanca Active capris from We Are Handsome, and a mean pair of Y3 shoes! The magazines are out now, so feel free to pick up a copy and let me know what you think 🙂 Faya x

SOUL SEARCHING IN NEW YORK !!!

02/06/2014

In this post, I’m in the heart of Soho, New York (on 45 Crosby street to be precise) at c. 6:30 am, soul searching… on a bicycle! SoulCycle is a class I’ve been meaning to try for ages, having seen countless friends & clients back in London rave about it. So here I am, a bit too excited to be booked in to the super-early-morning class (though theres one even earlier!), burdened with jet lag and crammed into a miniature studio along with a large group of seriously energetic pre-office New Yorkers. Here follows my review, but since guests aren’t permitted to take any photos inside the studio, I thought I’d include these amazing photos of the view of New York, all taken from the roof terrace of my stunning hotel, The Mondrian. I wore the lovely new collection from an old favourite, Striders Edge for my SoulCycle class, and a pair pink summery Asics trainers and for a cheeky drink on the terrace too! See more BELOW…

PLAYING TENNIS WITH BJORN BORG !!!

15/03/2014

As you might have guessed, I’m Swedish (well, half Swedish). Ours is a modest nation, and we don’t boast about too many international icons but one of the country’s spirit-rallying figures is undoubtedly Björn Borg; we all get behind his legendary accomplishments even though they took place long before many of our births. He’s almost the personification of the Swedish flag to the nation; a great ambassador for our national achievements.

With that in mind, it was with enormous excitement that I was recently contacted by the Björn Borg clothing line, popularised in the UK for its adventurous and quirky underwear, but very much under-appreciated for its heavyweight performance sportswear credentials. They invited me along to their SS14 press event (hosted at the Piccadilly showroom, and staffed mainly by tall, striking models – sigh), and offered some new-season samples to be reviewed. This is a dangerous juncture, and I must declare a waiver of my strict impartiality for this – I feel a certain bias, especially when the clothes’ colours are blue and yellow ;)!
