Is there nothing this lady can’t do? I’m not sure there is. she shares her time between the West Country looking after rescue horses and has a passion for gardening. Abigail caught up with Sarah to ask those all important beauty questions. 

Q. Time your alarm is set for

I usually wake around 7am but only bother to set an alarm when I am in Dorset in the winter months because I have to get my horses up and dressed, given their breakfast and led out to their field – then muck out their stables…Luckily my husband vowed to love, honour and help with the horses.

Q. Best beauty tip ever received:

Smile! Love your life.

---

Q. First beauty product ever bought:

Eeek – I think it was Panstick foundation to cover my dreadful spots.  The first one I was given (by a lovely lady in our local chemist) was a green shot with gold eyeshadow by Elizabeth Arden – gorgeous but deeply unsuitable.

---

Q. Cant live without…:

My husband, horses, friends, smoothie maker and Nespresso machine…Prefer not to live without good skincare, make-up, bath oil and scented candles.  Love good food (but never drink alcohol).

Q. Current reading list:

Several back copies of New Scientist and Scientific American; a novel about the mother of Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro, called The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman, recommended by journalist Laura Bond; Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh for our book 
group.

Q. Any beauty disasters: 

Orange highlights when I used a blonding shampoo on my balayage; flaking, falling off nails from grooming horses in the winter; truly can’t think of any other disasters these days apart from the furrow in my forehead that I have got used to.  But I try never to look at a photo of myself because I would see all the things I choose to forget.

---

Q. Who is your beauty icon?

Audrey Hepburn because she smiled with her eyes.

---

Q. Fave getaway:

Our lovely little joyful home in west Dorset, with its sunny garden and beautiful views of hills and valleys, and my horses nearby. 

---

Q. What’s your evening beauty routine? 

Cleanse, occasionally double cleanse; often use FOREO LUNA sonic cleanser, massage in and up serum and oil or night cream.  Take magnesium, Sarah Chapman’s Overnight Facial Supplement and a small bowl of thick natural organic yogurt with Cherry Night powder by Viridian Nutrition, which has skin-loving glycine amino acid.

Q. Where or when are you happiest? 

Walking with my husband – I love seeing the way his eyes crinkle when he smiles; sitting on my horse looking at his ears waggle as I talk to him and the way his head turns round when he hears me get out the mints…
