The Monday Piece - The Most Googled Paintings in the World

This week's Monday Piece is on the most Googled paintings in the world. With access to art galleries prohibited for several months now, art lovers have had no choice but to think of creative ways to admire art without leaving their home. One of the primary ways has been through the internet.

I have been loving Google Arts and Culture - you can either use the website or app and I'm addicted. You can visit thousands of museums, worldwide, gain access to the museum's and gaze at art work as well as learning about the artist and their history. It's ideal for unwinding.

Highlights from the research include:

  • The Mona Lisa is the most Googled painting in the world with an average 1,024,000 online searches per month
  • Guernica by Pablo Picasso (454,500 online searches) and The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci (343,000 online searches) are among the other paintings which receive over 300,000 online searches each month
  • Interestingly, The Garden of Earthly Delights rounds off the top ten, as Hieronymus Bosch’s masterpiece gains an average 58,000 online searches a month
What's your favourite type of art :)?

The Monday Piece - Croc Effect Bags

This week's Monday Piece is on croc effect bags! When Jacquemus brought out their collection of croc style mini bags, I was obsessed with their sleek style and fun colours. I was too late to the party though so they passed me by - however the trend continues and I've got my eye on these stunners, in particular the little round Chloe, I'm all about that cute but elegant aesthetic. The Balenciaga neon piece is a total summer vibe and I also love the classic YSL style. Are you a fan :)?

The Monday Piece - Valentine's Tea Revelations

This week's Monday Piece is on Valentine's tea revelations! What does your tea reveal about your love life?

Lovers can always turn to their kettle this Valentine’s Day as the nation braces itself for a complete dearth of restaurant dinners and romantic mini breaks during lockdown.

Studies show that drinking two to three cups of hibiscus tea each day is good for the heart and works by lowering blood pressure. Not only this, regular black tea works just as well, with a new research review published in the journal, Food Function, noting blood pressure benefits.

But what does our tea choice suggest about our personality and love life?

Regular black tea

Steady, reliable and strong with hidden depths. You love in a bold, confident way with a hint of maturity.

Ginger tea

Fiery and hot, leaving a warm glow wherever you touch. Sometimes, too much for people to handle, you make up for this by being fiercely loyal.

Chamomile tea

Most people would describe you as chilled and laid back with an inner calm. Able to bring peace and tranquillity to any situation, you are the ideal partner for stress bunnies.

Darjeeling tea

Refined and sophisticated with impeccable taste. You have beautiful, old-fashioned manners that inspire confidence and respect.

Green tea

Refreshingly different and apt to go against the flow. You are rarely the same twice and can surprise and amaze when you put your mind to it.

Rosehip tea

Deeply passionate and sweet, when you decide to love, it’s forever. But let this be a warning to anyone who takes your love for granted – you have an astringent side too. Personally I'm a fan of fresh mint tea, it's so soothing and fresh :).
