AN UPLIFTING SONG
Janet Jackson - ’Together Again’
A CHILL OUT SONG

PODCAST

ONE FILM
It’s a toss up between two new ones. They’re films that as soon as I finished watching them, I thought ‘I need to watch that again’. For romance and feel-good vibes Rye Lane and for action and thrills it’s Gangs of Lagos
ONE BOOK
Vagabonds! by Eloghosa Osunde
A SWEAR-BY BEAUTY TIP
Do what works for you. Don’t make it too complicated. Also for me in addition to any product it’s as much about what you put into the body (water, fresh food, plenty of fruit & veg. YKTV)
A SWEAR-BY HAIR TIP
I shave all mine off, so I’d say whether or not you have hair it’s important to look after your scalp with a good oil or serum
A SMALL JOY
Being by the beach or any kind of water and also listening to mellow R&B whilst lying on the sofa with the candles and incense going. Vibes!
WHY DIZZIAK
The Dizziak Body Conditioner and Body Scrub is the most iconic duo since Mariah and ODB. Leaves the skin feeling soft and nourished and smelling sweet and also gives you that holiday glow even when you can’t remember the last time you left London
GREAT HAIR MEMORY
Having a lil’ routine when I actually had hair. Durag overnight, a bit of Blue Magic, sometimes a lick of Dax or Sportin’ Waves
NIGHTMARE HAIR STORY
When I told my younger brother I could do him a fade, messed it up so I had to shave it bald and he ended up getting suspended from school. I think I was also suspended once for having my hair too low
FAVOURITE WAY TO STAY ACTIVE
Reformer Pilates, Barre and Yoga
ICON
Mariah is THE icon

BEST PIECE OF ADVICE
Someone once told me you should never give out what you can’t afford to. That is, if you truly value something (not necessarily material things) you shouldn’t give it away.
