Great weather and varied leisure options keep expats satisfied with their life abroad. Greece, Portugal, Spain, Costa Rica, Uganda, South Africa, Malta, Mexico, Cyprus and Kenya are the countries with the best weather, according to more than 90 percent of expats living there.

Expats in Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Mexico, Costa Rica and Malta are particularly fond of available leisure activities.

Of the European Motor shows, Geneva is often the most interesting. Neutral territory for all the big players, it has neither the bombast of Frankfurt nor the dependence of Paris on two lone national players. It is also, perhaps fittingly given the wealth of its host city, the playground of the exotics.

An exclusive invitation to play; beginners beware – you may get hooked.
Polo is probably the most glamorous sport in the social calendar. Think how cool Steve McQueen was in the ‘Thomas Crowne Affair’ and the sex appeal Jilly Cooper brought to her Polo novels, putting the dash into the country set.

International Excellence Magazine photographed their latest fashion shoot at the exclusive Emsworth Polo Grounds in Windsor. They play polo all year round here, either in the wooden arena or on their immaculate grass fields.
The horses they supplied for the fashion shoot were magnificent and behaved impeccably and you can see how attached the models, Jens and Dariia, became to them.
Polo ponies are magnificent to photograph and the landscape and lodge at Emsworth Polo Grounds are stunning.

The Ivy Collection launched the Ivy Castle View in Guildford last week in the newly refurbished Tunsgate Quarter overlooking Guildford Castle, bringing a whole new level of dining to Guildford and about time too.
The discreet entrance is on the corner by the stairs facing the castle, where you are warmly greeted by a smart receptionist and shown up the two fights of stairs to the main restaurant. There you are attended by three equally smart receptionists who greet you by name and make sure that a fourth takes your coat.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Super Review
We decided to test the Alfa Romeo down in Cornwall with a visit to the Pendennis shipyard in Falmouth where they refurbish and restore some of the largest and most extravagant luxury yachts in the world. It was a round trip of ten hours and gave us time with some great roads to really get a feel for what the Alfa Romeo Giulia is all about.

Having just returned from a long weekend in Turkey, I feel refreshed, relaxed and just tanned-enough, to receive some raised eyebrow envy from my non-journo friends.
With the temperatures just starting to rise, it is a great time to go to get some bargain sun and avoid the hardcore sun worshiping crowds. With a previous visit to Antalya a distant memory (apart from the beautiful beaches and long hot days), I was keen to get back to the white sands and dip my toes in the crystal-clear water.

I think my skin is still glowing from my Signature K facial at the Karidis Clinic, despite it being a couple of weeks ago.
I work hard to take care of my skin, adapting my regime to the seasons and investing in hard-working formulas that really make a difference. As a result, I’m pretty happy with it, but there are certain times of the year, particularly when the seasons change, that I could definitely do with some extra help.

If you are affected by the bizarre extremes of weather at the moment, then spare a thought for your skin. Extreme temperature changes (hello snow), air conditioning, central heating and pollution all take their toll, so it’s particularly important at these times to make sure you have a solid care routine. Below are a few of my favourite products and how I use them.
