Be enchanted by this Beauty and the Beast-inspired shoot at St Donat’s Castle

The inspiration for this shoot came from the Beauty and the Beast fairytale," says hair and make-up artist Maya Jasinska. "We wanted to find a magical castle hidden in the Wales countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life with breathtaking views. We came across St Donat's Castle, which has a magical interior and exterior and is a place where every girl can become a princess and have their dreams come true. This shoot was created by some of the best suppliers in Wales who all paid close attention to every detail."

House of Janneke, a new lifestyle brand, launches Book of Special Days

The Book of Special Days is a keepsake journal that gives special moments a home. This isn't a diary. There are no rules, no schedules, no need to write in it every day.  There is a page for every day of the year, but no printed years. After a special day, you find the date, add the year and write down what made it worth remembering. Over time, this book will become something more: a living archive of your days, a weave of stories across the years, a place for little joys, victories big and small, laughter shared and milestones you cherish. It holds what you don't want to forget, a trove of the ordinary and the extraordinary, all treasured alike.
