01. What does a typical day look like for you?

A typical day for me starts nice and early before heading into my marketing job. I always pop on a few of my favourite A&M pieces to finish off my look before work.

After the workday is done, I love heading to spin or going for a run — I’ve started running recently and I’m really enjoying it! I love the social side of workouts too, it’s such a fun way to catch up with people and unwind after a busy day.

02. Which part of your routine do you look forward to the most?

Definitely my evening wind down. Post-workout, I love coming home, taking my makeup off and getting comfy in my PJs. I’ll place my jewellery on my nightstand, put something on Netflix and relax on the sofa with my cat — it’s my favourite way to switch off.

03. Which item in your evening routine would you recommend to a friend?

I’m a big skincare fan, so it has to be a good Vitamin C moisturiser. I love the glow it gives your skin! One of my favourites is by Sunday Riley, it just makes my skin feel so fresh and radiant.

04. What's your favourite thing on your nightstand?

It has to be my T-bar necklace from Astrid & Miyu! I wear it almost every day, so it’s usually sitting on my nightstand ready for me to put back on in the morning.

05. Which A&M jewels are your non-negotiables?

That’s such a hard question! But I’m definitely an earring girl, so I’d have to say my Crossover Illusion Hoops and the Huggie version too. They go with absolutely everything and I wear them all the time.
