In this exclusive interview our Founder Nathalie Gaveau catches up with Véronique Forge-Karibian, Founder of the French site for working women Business O Feminin, to talk work/life balance, fashion, focus and how to get into the back to school mindset for the season ahead...
V: What are your tips for maintaining your zen during the busy 'back-to-school' period?
N: The key is to organize well and take advantage of the summer holidays to sort out the essentials. Plan trips and important meetings, review plans for the last quarter and communicate your goals to the teams you manage. Suddenly, we'll find we have more time for sports and the spa, it's a virtuous circle.
V: Who's been inspiring you this season?
N: Jeff Bezos, he started out 15 years ago with a small online bookstore, was criticised for years by analysts and became a leader in cloud computing. Today Amazon is valued at $1000 billion. What audacity, what tenacity in his vision.
V: What quality do you admire most in women?
N: Adaptability. Business woman, mother, wife, girlfriend, sportswoman, coach, every woman is plural and manages multiple tasks in a day, sometimes to a staggering extent.
V: What's your daily routine like and how do you start your day?
N: I don't really have a routine with my travels between London and Paris but I cannot live without an Earl Grey tea followed by an espresso and kisses from my husband and children first thing in the morning. A poached egg with avocado toast always tempts me and then it's on to emails, dashboards and the day begins.
V: What are your workspace essentials?
N: I'm a bit of a minimalist so I like a white or transparent desk with just my apple Macbook Pro on it. If possible, I like an open space with no walls around me and an inspiring view. From time to time, I'll light a candle like the La Française Sympa.
V: Which books are by your bedside right now?
N: The Love Dictionary of Freedom by Mathieu Laine and a pile of documents. I usually have books on all kinds on business topics. I've recently been reading the 2018 Goldman Sachs Millennial Insights study.
V: Who are some of your favourite fashion designers?
N: Chloé by Natacha Ramsay Levi, Diane Ducasse and always Saint Laurent.
V: What about your 'can't live without' websites?
N: I'm probably more into apps than sites. I use Yoga Studio for my yoga routine, Lumo Lift to help with my posture, Paleo Leap for paleo recipes, Les Echos, Elle, Bloomberg and of course Whatsapp, Instagram, Uber and Deliveroo.
V: What's your motto or favourite quote?
N: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.” You must have ambition and persevere on your journey.

The beauty industry offers up new products every day and increasingly, we’re seeing a trend for personalization. We’re now able to add boosters to existing products, custom mix our own foundation and day cream, fill out questionnaires about our lifestyle, or receive tailored recommendations according to our individual needs.
Even if you don't buy into filling out questionnaires or opt for DNA testing for your skin, you at least need to test a product before deciding whether it’s the best choice for you.
So how can you personalize your beauty routine? Well, there are a few ways to make a start…
Get a beauty box subscription
If you don’t fancy scouring the stores for a range of different beauty products to try, you can simply subscribe to a monthly beauty box service. There are plenty to choose from and you can opt for plans that last three, six or even 12 months.
See an expert
Once you’ve found brands and products you love with the help of a subscription box, hit up the professionals that work for and with those products. Book in to see a skincare expert and make-up artists who know the products inside out and get their advice on what’s right for you.
Use an app
Tech is blowing up the beauty industry and there are already a ton of apps that make it easy to figure out which products are right for you. Search the app store and download anything from foundation shade simulators to skin scanners.
Benefit from a beauty routine that is designed for you by you without splashing your cash and discover our selection of the best affordable beauty subscription boxes now in the exclusive edit below...

It's a rare that bad lighting, the odd pimple or an eye make up mishap will keep us from uploading a selfie to Instagram. Thanks to an ever-evolving array of transformative filters and photo-editing apps. we’re able to creating perfect images in an instant. The latest craze in makeup is attempting to bridge the gap between the edit and reality. Your fave beauty bloggers are creating natural, luminous looks that can definitely get away with the #nofilter hashtag.
Here's how to create that Face Tune result minus the photo-editing app…
Customise your base
In order to create a natural base all you need is to add a little moisturiser to your foundation. For an even dewier result add a cream with a lighter, luminescent tone and enjoy the glowing finish.
Hold back on the concealer
It might be tempting to go crazy on the concealer considering you will not be applying much make up, but this will probably not help with your desired result. Avoid ashy under eyes and apply concealer sparingly.
Go for natural shades
Build up an army of neutral shades with alternative uses. Employ your eye shadow as a bronzer and smudge a glossy lip balm to give your cheeks a healthy glow.
Enjoy the natural look
Invest in low-key lashes and frame your face with bushy, boyish brows a lá Cara.
Fluff your lipstick
Matte lipstick in a natural shade is a huge trend. For a softer finish dampen a small fluffy makeup brush into your powder and use it to create a long lasting matte lip.

We’ve all dreamed of having a perfect Instagram feed with thousands of followers, but realising that today Instagram can quite literally be a full-time job, many of us have given up.
Luckily, we have a few simple tips that will instantly make your feed look amazing.
Choose a theme
Sticking to a theme is very important to make your Instagram feed look good. Some of our favourites are the minimalist theme (very bright with a lot of white), sticking to a particular colour, or even having only quotes in the left-hand-side column.
Have a consistent filter
For a neat looking feed, you should stick to a specific filter. We recommend using apps on which you perform the same edit every time and our favourites are vsco, after light, and faded.
Vary your posts
Be creative and play with different angles and subjects to keep your followers interested. No one wants to follow an account that posts only selfies… If you’re looking to switch it up, trying adding a photo of your style icon for example, they usually perform really well!
The ensemble must look good
The key to an aesthetically pleasing feed is making sure your new photo matches the 1st and 3rd photos. For example, if you feel like they are quite detail heavy, the newest photo should be clean and simple to balance it out. A quote, a scenery picture or even a empty coloured photo will do the job!
Keep captions brief
The trick is to have a short caption and to hashtag selectively. Be sure to skip the trending hashtags, adding #girl #cute #tanktop #blog #love #followme is never a good idea. Firstly, those hashtags don’t work, secondly, they’re annoying to everyone and thirdly, they don’t make any sense.
Tag brands
If you post a lot of photos with clothes, be sure to tag the brands. If you’re lucky, they’ll repost your image, and even if they don’t, you’ll still be in their tagged photos section.
Now let the followers roll in...

No-one's perfect, but that's no excuse to be unreasonably jealous. Us girls are out here tryna shake the 'psycho girlfriend' tag, so help the team and reign in your jealous behaviour a little. If you do these 6 things, then you are a jealous girlfriend. And no, not the kind of jealous where it's justified or shows you care, the kind where 'stalker' pops to mind.
1. You FB Stalk Every Girl He's Dated
...and you stalk them on a regular basis. If you know she went to Paris this weekend, then you've gone way too far. A inquisitive look on your significant other's ex girlfriend's page is normal, not healthy, but normal- to check it daily, and find out even detail about her isn't. There's a reason she's in the past, and that they're not together anymore, so give yourself more credit.
2. You Check When He's Online
WhatsApp and FB messenger are your BFFs because they tell you when he was last active, and therefore if he's ignoring you. Ok, he shouldn't be avoiding your convos but maybe it's for innocent reasons. Or maybe it's because you're an OTT jealous GF who won't let him live.
3. You Lie To Make Him Jealous
So in reality the only guy who hit on you today was the homeless dude who hangs around your neighbourhood, but the version you tell him, it may as well have been Brad Pitt's younger, better looking, brother. Or you lie and say your ex has hit you up. He should already know how lucky he is, jealousy isn't the right way to bring that out of him. Would it make you feel lucky if his ex wanted him back? Or would it make you feel insecure and angry? Yeah, thought so.
4. You Read Into Everything He Does
A friend of mine legitimately uses the 'Find Your Friends' app to stalk her boyfriend's whereabouts. She plans how long his journey home takes to make sure he isn't lying about where he's been. Seriously, not normal or ok. Your other half has a life, and you need to let them live. Imagine how annoying and controlling it would be if someone asked you 100 questions every time you went to the shops.
5. You've Created Fake Profiles
Please, please, please don't do this. If you don't trust them to this extent then the relationship is never going to work, and you need to call it quits. And work on yourself. Seriously.
6. You Snoop
Looked through his phone multiple times? Even rummaged through his trash? Get excited when you get the opportunity to do these things? Then take a long hard look at yourself, because you need a reality check. This is invasion of privacy. This is you ruining the trust, not him.
The green-eyed monster is not a cute look, yes we're all guilty of occasionally getting carried away but if these 6 points are familiar to you, and frequent, then you're an out of control jealous girlfriend. Check yo'self before you wreck yo'self babe.

James Preece aka The Dating Guru and Alexander Ziff aka founder of Ciao dating app, say that there are 5 tell-tale signs to look out for when figuring out if someone likes you romantically. Life saver, ammiright?! Hopefully there should be no more awkward-lunge situations or "Oh, I thought we were just friends" convos.
1. Closing The Gap
If someone likes you, like that, then they'll do their best to break down the personal space between you. This could be touching your arm or moving their chair closer.
2. Rapid Blinking
"WTF" was our first reaction to this one, but it does make scientific sense. They're blinking more because of the prolonged eye contact combined with excitement which forces their eyes to dry out.
3. Talking & Teasing Lots
Men are conditioned to boast as an attempt to impress, so if they're showing off more than usual, this could mean they're attracted to you. Both men and women tease as a form of flirting, even in adulthood.
4. Noticing Little Changes
Wearing your hair differently? Do they notice? If they do, that means they romantically like you- because they're paying extra attention to the smaller details.
5. Playing Hard To Get
This is an annoying one, but still a sure sign. They don't want to appear to keen in case they turn you off- try not to count them out straight away if they seem to be playing hard to get.

Isn't the term 'Sunday Funday' just the most annoying, completely false term? Sunday, around 4 p.m. to be precise, we all sigh in unison. Sunday night fear is something we all fear, but often just turn into a jovial story, but it's a legitimate thing. Even science says so.
In 2013 Monster.com did a poll, where they found that 81% of American respondents said they get Sunday-night-blues, with 59% describing them as "really bad". Is there a solution? Well, there isn't a cure (apart from maybe eloping to Hawaii) but there are ways to reduce Sunday night anxiety.
Be Organised
This is a very boring tip, but arguably the most important. We all have that habit of letting off steam on Friday and Saturday, which means by Sunday we haven't done any of our admin or chores. Rather than leave it all to Sunday, space it out. An hour on Friday evening and Saturday day will make Sunday far less daunting. No one likes cleaning, paying bills or begrudgingly shuffling off to family events. But we have to do them. So just get them over with.
Be Sociable
We all want to avoid adult life on a Sunday, and usually spend it hungover in bed with a pizza box on one side of the bed and regret on the other. But get up, get over that hangover and see your friends. Having a pity party on Sunday is only going to make your mood worse. Don't go cray, because the only thing worse than Monday mornings are hungover Monday mornings, but do something active/fun. Grab brunch with your friends and then hit a yoga class.
Quit Your Job
This isn't any easy solution, but if you absolutely dread going to work every week, then you're in the wrong job. Work is work, but unless you do something you love or at least tolerate, then there's no point. We spend more time in the office then at home, so it has to be a place you enjoy. Life is too short.
Be Positive
Maybe the problem isn't the job, maybe it's you. If you've tried multiple careers and you still get this feeling, then you're either seriously unlucky or it's to do with your mental state. Saying be "positive" makes my blood boil, but the sentiment is there. Mindfulness apps, self-help books, therapy or simply talking about it with people you love- voicing what exactly your dreading and why will help you decide if it's the job, or you, or both. Basically, talking helps, it's cathartic.
