(AD) In case you’re wondering, I haven’t shrunk, these are just really big boxes. An amazing breakfast at the Jo Malone London Townhouse yesterday. Here’s the latest, @jomalonelondon are releasing a limited run of City Editions. Eight signature scents, each one printed with a hand-sketched illustration inspired by the angles, edges and idiosyncrasies that make that city unique. Can you guess what the London design is inspired by? If you’re on your travels make sure you check out the boutiques (and airports) in those cities as these City Editions will be exclusive to that region. Could this be the best gift to buy in an airport? #JoMaloneLondon #Candles #JustBecause #London 📸 Photos by Archie @bladesman_

Positive thinking is more than just a caption. It changes the way we behave and when I’m positive in all aspects of my daily life, it not only makes me better but it also makes those around me better. I’ve found that once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results. 🙏🏽🔮 #quotes #positivity #positivethoughts #carlsquotes #tattooideas #inkedmen #menwithtattoos #styleinspo #mensstyle #inked #tattoo #tattoos #london #londonstreetstyle #ootd #ootdmen #menwithstyle #urban #fbloggers #ukbkoggers #malebloggeruk 📸 Photo Credit @matt_cuzen during a campaign for @wahl_uk

(AD + Competition Giveaway) After 30 not only does your body have a mind of its own, your mind has a mind of its own. Especially when you're trying to rest it won't sit still. It's constantly trying to make flights of fancy or give you problems to solve. I was invited to try out the Calm App, in the Novotel Brentford Hotel, designed to take time for yourself and unwind. It can assist in mediation, improve focus, reduce stress and help you get a better nights sleep. It does exactly what it says on the shiny interface. When you're next in a Novotel I recommend you try it. Together with @novotelhotels and @calm I'm giving away a years subscription to the Calm App to 3 Lucky Winners.

(AD) Father’s Day is THIS SUNDAY and if your Dad is anything like mine, it can be a nightmare to know what to get him. If you’re struggling, I’ve put together this outdoorsy Look centred around a gilet from @houseoffraser that can serve as inspiration for someone who loves morning walks or the outdoors in general. If your Dad already dresses similar to this, why not gift him an accessory such as a new belt that can be used with multiple outfits or occasions? You do not have long to decide so head in-store at your nearest House of Fraser to check out their Father’s Day accessories, clothing & gifts where I’m positive you’ll find the perfect Father’s Day gift. 👴🏽 FATHER’S DAY IS SUNDAY 16TH JUNE IN THE UK 👨🏼‍🦳 #HouseOfFraser #FathersDay #FathersDayGiftIdeas #mensstyle #styleinspo #gilet 📸 Photo by @tommybrady7
