For this Wellness Month edit of Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner we sat down with Charli Howard, model, author and founder of Squish Beauty. She tells us about coping with work-life balance, romantic London must-dos and what she would bring to a desert island.

TL: What does self care look like to you?
CH: For me, it’s about eating a good meal, watching something comforting & having a warm shower or bath. I love skincare so will put on one of my Squish cherry masks and drink some tea. I love being snuggly at home, I’m such a home bird, and feeling totally relaxed!

TL: What are your top tips for maintaining a healthy work-life balance in a city like London.
CH: I’m still learning how to do this because I do have the tendency to throw myself into work. I try to give myself at least two occasions a week to socialise with friends or family, because I think you can become a bit lonely otherwise.
