My favourite affordable skin products

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 5 Comments

In a perfect world, we would all have amazing skin products that did everything we need. Products that tackle multiple issues like ageing, acne, pigmentation etc with state of the art dynamic ingredients, but somehow are dirt cheap rather than the usual eye watering prices that mean most of us simply can’t afford them. Well guess what? I found them!!! …

After doing a few interviews with hypnotherapist Zoë Clews, specially the one on the perfectionism crisis, it got me thinking about my own social media. So today in my video, I want to set the record straight as it’s important to me that I don’t give anyone the wrong impression. You can watch it here: YOUTUBE Zoë has also written …

Sprouts in Bowl

Why you need to embrace the sprout

Glynis BarberDiet & Nutrition, Health 4 Comments

I hate brussel sprouts. No, I mean really hate them. I literally cannot eat a cooked sprout. I mean why would I? They’re gross, right? This was me just a few short years ago. Now I do eat sprouts because I discovered a great way of serving them on a trip to California a few years back. They often eat …

I love a smokey eye but is it still a good look after a certain age? The answer is to do a super flattering grown up version.

The pressure to be perfect (video)

Glynis BarberHealth, Stress Management Leave a Comment

Perfectionsim is rife (in so small part thanks to social media) and for many has become an addiction. It’s also about control and can be linked to fear, lack of self esteem and feeling unworthy of love. It can make life very difficult and leave one feeling a failure if the impossible goal of being perfect isn’t reached. I sit …

Vegetable Oil Pouring

Why is everyone talking about vegetable oils?

Glynis BarberDiet & Nutrition, Health 9 Comments

There’s a new bad boy on the block. Just when we thought sugar was as bad as it could possibly get, this bad boy could be even MORE detrimental to our health and wellbeing. The murmurings about vegetable and seed oils began in earnest about the same time as the pandemic started and are now being shouted about all over …

Skin treatments worth the money at 50+ (video)

Glynis BarberBeauty, Treatments 2 Comments

It really is most unfair that at the stage of life where you need facial treatments and rejuvenation the most, you are least likely to get a good result. In my previous interviews with Dr Khan (cosmetic surgeon at the Harley Street Skin Clinic) we have spoken about the fact that after the age of 50, all facial treatments become …

Are you ready for the Metaverse?

Since the pandemic started, doesn’t it feel like we’ve been transported into some kind of science fiction scenario? Silly old movies now seem to be becoming a reality.  The world feels different and alien in many ways. Social media has become even more powerful and influential, as have the billionaire founders of these companies. Anyone who’s on social media will …

My last talk with hypnotherapist Zoe Clews about all the many issues hypnotherapy can help with and how it all works, garnered a lot of interest. So today I sit down for another video chat with her that is absolutely fascinating. Post traumatic growth is the upside of trauma I hadn’t heard of this before and found the whole concept …

The secret to flawless makeup (video)

Glynis BarberDiary 1 Comment

One of the best makeup tips I’ve ever been given during all my years of acting, was to always make sure I blended away any harsh lines, leaving my makeup looking effortlessly flattering. I know many people lack confidence when applying makeup but blending is easy and anyone can do it. Even if you haven’t applied your makeup particularly well, …
