Live, Love, Laugh with Lexie

This week I chat to Debbie Catt from Catt Consulting about our on screen skills and etiquette, we've all been having virtual calls / meetings and presentations and even online interviews but have we thought about how to get out personality across on video? Debbie has some useful tips and tricks! I also look at the popular US drinking trend of hard seltzers, the alcoholic sparkling water drinks that are low in calories, affordable and delicious, sounds good right? Also it's all about sunhats in this week's fashion fix, and some Father's Day gift ideas. As well as what's trending in the fashion and celeb world what about the whole world in 2020? I look at some 2020 predictions from WGSN from fashion to food and the colour of the year - Neo mint! Join me for the next 20 minutes for all of this! Oh and if you'd like to find out more about Debbie att here's her website - https://www.cattconsulting.com/

Paul Goldsmith and Katherine Vince from Twisted Reality Theatre join me today to talk about their unofficial 13th episode of Fawlty Towers called 'Lockdown' which they filmed, well in lockdown! It has put a smile on so many people's faces and has even been featured on ITV and BBC! You can watch the episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=WNoE4F4Bq7g&feature=emb_title I've researched some great inflateable hot tubs and paddling pools for this gorgeous weather, pop one in the garden, on a balcony or heck why not inside your house! Accompany that with some interesting popcorn flavours including curry and prosecco (separate flavours not together, that would be taking it too far!!) throw in some binge worthy TV and readable books to pass the time and you have yourself the perfect night in! Enjoy! Lexie x You can watch the unofficial 13th episode of Fawlty Towers here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=WNoE4F4Bq7g&feature=emb_title

Today I chat with celebrity hairdresser Jamie Stevens (you may have caught him on Lorraine on ITV a couple of weeks ago!) as he gives his advice on looking after our hair in lockdown, should we be trying to home colour or cut, what are some simple ways to style our hair at home now that we can't nip out for a blowdry until July 4th and what on earth do the settings on hair clippers mean, I don't want to give my boyfriend an egg head cut by accident! Also, I celebrated my 29th Birthday in lockdown last week so thought I would share tips on how we made the day fun despite not being able to go out - from balloons to afternoon tea to dressing up. And let's not forget all the snacking we've been doing, I discuss my 5pm ritual of crisps and dips and whether it's hummus, salsa or guacamole that gets my vote for best accompaniment! And of course my usual celeb gossip and fashion fix for you! Enjoy!

Martinis, Bikinis and Property, I have it all covered in the next 25 mins! How to make the famous quarantini cocktail, it has immune boosting powers too, as if we needed persuading! It's so hot hot hot out there so I thought I'd share some great bikinis in this week's fashion fix and I chat property with Fran Moynihan and Oliver Sloggett-Taylor from Savills Riverside Waterfront branch in London. Now that the property market is back open how is everything working, what precautions are being taken on viewings and of course is it actually a good time to be in the market? Being a property finder, relocation agent, landlord and developer myself I also add my two pennies worth! I wrote a blog on the subject too which you can read here: https://www.lexiecarducci.co.uk/10-questions-with-some-of-londons-top-estate-agents-about-the-property-market-post-coronavirus/ Plus I have my usual celeb gossip and as well as that I reveal why 99,000 people have signed up to receive Boots' No 7 latest beauty buy and what it claims to do. So enjoy, the next 25 mins are on me! Lexie x

This week is all about going green! Still in lockdown and enjoying some great weather which is making us all want to go outside but what to do there? I chat to Sarah and Katie about what they are growing in their gardens and share tips on what you can grow at home and you don't even need a garden, a balcony or windowsill will do just fine! Plus I look at what's trending this week from bake offs on the gram (is it even isolation if you haven't made banana bread?) and the numerous social media picture challenges from the #OneMinuteSculpture to the #PillowChallenge and of course the #5kchallenge and I look at fashion trends too and those amazing #Coronavirus charity Tshirts donating money to where it is needed!
