The Emma Guns Show

This episode is brought to you by Boots and their Let's Feel Good Campaign. Em Ford (@mypaleskinblog) joins me to talk about her role in the Boots Let's Feel Good Campaign, which celebrates not only how makeup and skincare make you look, but how they make you feel too. We talk about finding the products that work, why the high street is such a good place to experiment with beauty and find good quality products and why embracing and accepting who you are with or without all these things is where real beauty lies.To follow Boots on instagram - @bootsuk Hosted on Acast.

What is a random act of kindness? How do you act kindly, randomly? All questions I need to ask myself as I attempt this 21st, and upvoted habit from the Facebook group, in #26habits. My starting points are smiling, complimenting and choosing to see kindness in others as I attempt to be kinder myself.Let it Go Yoga Flow | Yoga with AdrieneTo join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.For the entire #26habits back catalogue visit The Pool.

My guest in this episode is Beck Dorey-Stein, author of the coming of age memoir From the Corner of the Oval, which documents her five years working as one of President Obama's three stenographers. From flying on Air Force One to being trash-talked by the Commander-in-Chief it all started with an ad on Craig's List, would you believe. Love stories, broken hearts, female friendships and growing up in the shadow of The White House, I was gripped by Beck's writing and loved chatting to her about how it all came together.From the Corner of the Oval at Waterstones.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.

In my 20th habit I wanted to find out if there was a way to feel less overwhelmed when a day off, holiday or much-needed rest was out of the question. Could getting up and going to bed at the same time every day a difference. I'm not going to lie, I've been pretty amazed by the results.Links from the show:Clarins TreatmentsRuth CrillyCaroline HironsNadine BaggottAnna NewtonErica DaviesKat Farmer Hosted on Acast.

If you've ever felt frazzled, found yourself scrolling holiday destinations on instagram or just felt like you've taken too much, your first thought might be to spend a fortnight on a white, sandy beach, down tools for a week or just stay in bed for a few days. When none are an option, is there a way to reset and recharge? In this new habit I'm going to see if something as simple as being rigid about when you wake up and when you go to bed can lift the sense of overwhelm, create a feeling of being a bit more in control and help you navigate those times when you just feel like the only thing that'd help is a relaxing holiday. Let's see if there can be a rest in resetting...Links from the show:Lewis Howes and The School of Greatness podcast on How to Manage Anxiety, Burnout and Overwhelm.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.For the entire #26habits back catalogue visit The Pool.

I hope I’m not alone in being the kind of person who buys things in the hope their purchase will be enough to make me fitter, brighter or more organised. I have a tendency to buy sports equipment for at-home gym sessions that then go on to gather dust in the corner, but I’ve also bought expensive notebooks, elaborate filing systems or apps that promise a more organise life that go un-used.For this habit I’m going to put my last batch of sports kit to good use by creating an 8-minute tabata. Eight minutes is nothing, when you really think about it, and with the kit right there, you know, at the end of the sofa, it should be easy to incorporate into my day.

Here's another habit that was requested in the Facebook group for the show - not wearing makeup for a fortnight. I have to be honest, this feels weird, not just because I wear makeup every day, but because makeup and beauty are what I do for a living in my role as a beauty journalist. My instagram feed is full of the makeup I'm using, the products I think are worth spending your hard-earned money on and all the lovely new products that are about to launch. To take a step back feels like missing out a crucial part of my day and also like bypassing a vital part of my daily self-care.
