My name is Char and I am London-based travel blogger specialising in affordable luxury, solo travel and a sprinkle of beauty. Essentially this is my little space on the internet I’ve used to document my travel, my memoirs and my musings, hence the name – Memoirs and Musings.

Back to Blogging in 2021

I’ve always treated my blog as my ‘baby’ and whilst I haven’t felt like I’ve neglected it, the truth is that I needed a break. I haven’t felt creative or inspired for the longest and as I sit here on a Sunday afternoon writing this post, I still feel the same. But I have a commitment to myself to be consistent, and this post may seem a little lacklustre but honesty is key, right?
At home beauty with Dermoi
If you’ve never heard of Dermoi before, they do just that, they bring the skin clinic to your London adobe.

Now after being at home for over a year, working where I live and living where I work, it only feels right that I bring my beauty treatments home too. Not only that, it’s convenient and works to my schedule.
