I have long been an admirer of Jacqui Ma’s business Goodordering, but only met her for the first time when I showed up at her house! Jacqui was just as cool and interesting as I hoped she would be and her chat about the food that she and her partner Mia make in their Chinese/Sweedish/British/Australian household was absolutely fascinating! 


Also, how cute is it that Jacqui’s business Goodordering is named after somethi...

Chris Cox is an illusionist, mindreader, comedian, and all around entertainer whom I met at a cooking event in London a few years ago. Chris may look unassuming, but he is absolutely fascinating. I didn't realise quite how fascinating he was untilI got to his house and found out that he not only worked on creating magic tricks for the Harry Potter show on the West End, but he also worked with Heston Blumenthal creating magic tricks...

Hollie de Cruz (aka: @theyesmummum) is best known for her work in hypnobirthing (aka: calm birthing) but we know of Hollie around our house for her absolutely brilliant affirmation cards which have phrases such as, "I ammy best and that is enough" and "I matter and I have a lot to offer the world". We have them up around the house and they inspire me every time I see them.


I arrived to Hollie’s house on a lovely Octobe...

Natalie Lee (aka: @stylemesunday) is a champion for body positivity. Her instagram is filled to the brim with unedited pictures of her looking both incredibly stylish in bright, fun, sparkly outfits as well as unedited pictures of her looking incredibly naked. Her honesty and confidence is incredibly inspirational to me.

Cat Sims is the hilariously honest woman behind the blogand insta account, Not So Smug Now. The moment I met Cat I knew that I would love her for life; not only is she always the funniest person in the room, but her genuine love and care of her fellow humans is real (check out her #giftmatch campaign here). I truly love this woman. And yes, for the record, we got drunk in this episode and both had hangovers by 5pm.

Clemmie Hooper is a midwife and mother of four daughters who is best known for her instagram account @mother_of_daughters. Clemmie’s account is not just pretty, but challenging and thought-provoking as well (not unlike Clemmie herself!).


I visited Clemmie’s stunning home on a chilly November day and was thrilled when she told me she was making me a warming chicken and chorizo stew. You can find her (OMG so delicious) recipe...
