Chrishelling Sunset in Lipsy
Reality star and Netflix golden girl launches new clothing collaboration
Iconsider myself to be an intelligent enough person. I’ve had a full education, completed a degree and work in a job where I’m learning something new every day. But I do love me some trash TV. I have never stooped as low as the Real Housewives franchise, The Kardashians are just too Kartrashian for me and I don’t like talent shows.
But despite being at a time in my life when “I should know better”, I still never miss an episode of Made In Chelsea and TOWIE.
However, one show which trumps the lot is Selling Sunset. It combines two of my favourite past times – reality TV and property. The latest series landed on Netflix on Friday and I can’t wait to dive in. Yes I want to take a peek around the sprawling mansions of LA, and I want to see the latest styles of Louboutins emerging from the latest models of Lamborghinis but I also want to find out what the glam realtors (estate agents to you and I) wearing those designer heels and super cars have been up to – particularly the show’s biggest star Chrishell Stause. If you are unfamiliar with the show she is a girl who spent much of her childhood homeless and in poverty. She used to be a US soap star and married to a fellow soap actor until he told her he was filing for divorce VIA TEXT MESSAGE.
We all got to see it unfold on the show – and see Chrishell go through absolute hell but she came out the other side. She bought herself her own home, she surrounds herself with only good people, goes on glam trips, works out and makes an absolute killing in her career.
To use a very reality TV kind of phrase, she is living her best life, something she certainly wasn’t doing while in her marriage.
She comes across as a very genuine, downto-earth and kind person who has a lot of time for her fans who, in turn, support her.
And being one of them, I’m featuring her new clothing range with Lipsy. I’ll be honest, it isn’t my style but it is just another example of how this girl is doing so well for herself and how all us other girls should take inspiration from her by getting out there and living our best lives too. next.co.uk/chrishell/lipsy

The news that Pret a Manger is coming to Northern Ireland is great news for sandwich lovers and anyone looking for somewhere new “to lunch”. With 20 franchises to launch both North and South, you’ll be spoilt for choice!
TAKING SWIPES..
I’m made up to hear that Boots will be removing any wet wipes that contain plastic from their shelves and website by the end of the year. It’s a good step forward as we continue to face off with this demon substance and the damage it does.
COFFEE DATES
It seems singletons are becoming more confident when it comes to finding a partner as dry dating is on the rise. Yes, that’s meeting up with people and not needing lots of alcohol to get you through. Beer goggles be gone!
