The Goop Life

At marie claire this month I was asked to write a funny piece about Gwyneth Paltrow's website Goop. Gwyneth might have it all, with her movie star life, rock star husband, two perfect children (one of each flavour) and homes in London and New York, but is she happy? I mean how happy can a woman who likes vegan cupcakes really be? Gwyneth likes to share her happiness and opportunities with a series of weekly newsletters which offer lifestyle, well-being and health advice to her 150,000 subscribers. I agreed to live for a week taking advice from Goop including a detox, making vegan cupcakes, trying new hairstyles, following her exercise regime, thinking nice thoughts and not getting on the cans too much.  It was a fun assignment with plenty of opportunities for having a laugh. For your amusement, I've attached some shots taken today at the shoot in which I had to channel Gwyneth. Here I am expressing surprise at my Oscar win, making cupcakes and trying a new hair do recommended by  Goop.
