About Jenni Baden Howard
Lifestyle journalist (former columnist The Daily Telegraph Style, contributor to The Times, British Vogue and more). I write two Substacks: one on home, family and it all means to belong; the other is about lipstick.
Life Stories's recommended Substacks
The Blue Memo
My fortnightly memo on travel, food, design, cultural appreciation and everything that inspires me. Sharing stories of personal joy in things I've seen, smelt, tasted, read and people I've met. Hope you stay on this journey!
My Midlife Chapter
Midlife can be messy—but it can be glorious too! Here I share my meandering midlife thoughts, from the highs to the ‘what the hell just happened?’ moments. I write about ways to look and feel fab as we age and I dream of publishing a book one day.
Born of Wonder
Firm believer in the beauty of the world. Taking seriously the words of St. Gregory: "We make idols of our concepts but wisdom is born of wonder."

Strands of Silver
I write to pass on insights gleaned from decades of living on how I learned to hold joy and sadness, confusion and clarity, loss and gain, in the same space.
Traveling with the Father
It's hard to serve others and draw closer to God amidst the distractions and details of traveling. This newsletter shows you how with unexpected resources and inspiration from your faith + travel mentor.
