“If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything!”

CHARLIE MOORE IS FASHION & SHOPPING EDITOR FOR WOMAN&HOME

– A GLAMOROUS ROLE... BUT ONE THAT INVOLVES A HUGE AMOUNT OF HARD WORK!

“MY JOB IS PRETTY MUCH FULL-ON THE WHOLE TIME – RUNNING TO APPOINTMENTS TO CHOOSE CLOTHES, BACK TO THE OFFICE TO SET UP SHOOTS AND STYLE OUTFITS, BACK OUT TO PRESS EVENTS, WHICH OFTEN GO ON IN THE EVENING. IT CAN FEEL LIKE I’M LIVING AND BREATHING FASHION 24/7, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE’RE PUTTING TOGETHER OUR BI-ANNUAL TRENDS GUIDE TOO. IT’S AN AWFUL LOT OF WORK BUT OF COURSE WHEN I SEE MY FABULOUS PAGES IN PRINT IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL PROUD. SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW WE GET IT ALL DONE, BUT THEN I LOOK BACK AND REALISE THAT IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO IT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING.

“AT THE END OF YET ANOTHER FRANTIC DAY, THE FIRST THING I DO WHEN I GET IN IS TO TAKE OFF MY MAKE-UP AND PUT ON CLINIQUE MOISTURE SURGE EXTENDED THIRST RELIEF – A LITTLE RITUAL THAT SOMEHOW WASHES AWAY THE STRESS OF THE DAY AND MEANS I’M READY TO RELAX – MY MINI MANTRA

THAT I COULDN’T COPE WITHOUT!”

ALISON DAVIDSON WAS HOMES EDITOR FOR WOMAN&HOME UNTIL EARLIER THIS YEAR, BUT DECIDED TO GO FREELANCE TO BROADEN HER HORIZONS AND FOCUS MORE ON HER BLOG, ALISONADDINGSTYLE.COM.

“ALTHOUGH I LOVED WORKING FOR WOMAN&HOME FULL-TIME, I DECIDED TO EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE OF GOING FREELANCE AS AN INTERIORS STYLIST AND HOMES JOURNALIST TO GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO TAKE ON A WIDER RANGE OF PROJECTS. AS WELL AS EDITORIAL FEATURES, I NOW WORK DIRECT WITH BRANDS TO BRING THEIR RANGES TO LIFE FOR ADVERTISING AND SHOWS. I STILL GET TO RESEARCH AND WRITE EDITORIAL FEATURES, BUT MY MAJOR NEW LOVE IS DEVELOPING MY BLOG. I DO HAVE TO WORK HARD, BUT EVERY EXPERIENCE IS UNIQUE AND IT’S GIVEN MY LIFE A FABULOUS NEW EXCITEMENT THAT I LOVE!

“WORKING FOR MYSELF MEANS I CAN CARVE OUT MORE TIME FOR ME TOO –

AND AT THE END OF A LONG DAY, I ALWAYS MAKE TIME TO TREAT MY SKIN WITH DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT MOISTURIZING LOTION+. I WANT TO LOOK AS RADIANT AS I FEEL, FOR AS LONG AS I CAN!”
