We took five minutes with Ginnie Chadwyck-Healey - Fashion Consultant, Stylist, Presenter & Sunday Telegraph Columnist.

FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU WAKE UP? 
I am still just about breastfeeding my baby boy!
 
LAST THING YOU DO BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP?
I take 10 deep breaths. 'Breathe away the day'....
 
POWER BREAKFAST?
In my dreams scrambled eggs and sourdough. In reality, Shreddies with my children's leftover milk.
 
FAVOURITE COCKTAIL?
A vodka martini. From Duke's.
 
MOTIVATIONAL MANTRA/QUOTE OF CHOICE? 
Value yourself and others will value you.
 
TRAVEL ESSENTIALS?
Omorovicza facial spritz, The Week, Hello magazine, my Away suitcase.  Toblerone from Duty Free.
 
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU ‘GREW UP’?
I wanted to be Editor of Vogue!
 
DREAM SUIT?
A dirty pink velvet day suit. 
 
ROLE MODEL?
So many.

Venice - my boyfriend (now husband) asked me out in Venice, when I was working at the Guggenheim one summer. #imeanthedream
 
ONE THING YOU TOOK OUT OF LOCKDOWN 1.0?
We all need to slow the hell down. It shouldn't take a global pandemic to do that. 
 
ADVICE YOU WISH YOU’D BEEN TOLD AS A CHILD?
Find a training that you can learn and develop throughout your career. This might sound odd but a part of me would have loved to have been a lawyer.
 
PREFER A SUIT PARED UP OR PARED DOWN?
Pared down. But maybe the right suit could do both.....Daisy?!
 
HOW DO YOU DE-STRESS?
I have a hot bath with Ila Bath Salts and I listen to The High Low.
 
BIGGEST LUXURY?
My husband's discount at Waitrose. I'm not kidding. I love that place.

Schitts Creek.  And I finally started 'Queer Eye'!

Pandora Sykes, 'How do we know we are doing it right?'
 
WHAT IS KEEPING YOU LAUGHING?
My husband. 
 
WORKOUT OF CHOICE?
Joe Wicks - I'm still doing his HITT! I've graduated from PE with Joe. 'Baby weight be gone!' (And Mark Wright's Train Wright for his, erm, insightful training advice...okay for his 6-pack)
