We’re still in November and we’re already receiving the January issue of some of our magazine subscriptions. Today the latest issue of our Good Housekeeping magazine subscription arrived, featuring recent Strictly Come Dancing contestant Lulu on the cover.
She spoke to Good Housekeeping’s Becky Howard about life as a Strictly contestant, the inspirational women in her life and running a successful new business.
On her relationship with dance partner Brendan Cole, Lulu says, “Looking back, I don’t think we were the right height for each other. I’m not saying that because I’m bitter that I didn’t win... I just think it was a challenge. And because I was putting myself under too much pressure, there were some very tense moments – the way I acted in that room, I’m sure he wanted to run away!”
Having now left the show, Lulu says she’s been having withdrawal pains and is after a new challenge – and by starting her new skincare business, Time Bomb, it seems she already has one.
“I was talked into it by my friend and collaborator Gail Federici. I used to rant and rave about journalists always asking me about my appearance rather than what I was doing. Eventually, she said ‘Well, why don’t you tell them?’ and I suggested doing a range,” says the pop star.
The magazine is also filled with a whole host of interesting features such as how 5 women turned their lives around in 12 months, 100 makeovers for the New Year and why Good Housekeeping are excited for 2012.
