Multifaceted and incredibly versatile, Sali is the voice of beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. She is the resident beauty columnist for The Guardian Weekend magazine and a weekly contributor to BBC Radio.
Sali’s platform and voice are well respected, as she tells her readers and listeners what she truly thinks about products, trends, and events happening out and about.
What I didn’t know about Sali is that she began her career working as a make-up assistant to a makeup artist and actually did photo shoots with George Michael and the Pet Shop Boys. How cool is this?
What I do know about Sali is that she’s authored four books, has two incredible sons, and is happily married to her husband Daniel, who is a comedy writer.
Another one of the many things I love about Sali is that she’s the founder of Beauty Banks, a charity that provides daily hygiene essentials and personal care items to those living in poverty. Many of the brands she works with and knows are happy to donate products to such a great cause because it’s the right thing to do, and no one would dare say no to this gem of a woman.

Sali is very well-known in the UK, and it’s time more people in the US get to know her. She is a force and a great resource for all things. Multi-hyphenated, this great international journalist, podcast host, writer, and philanthropist is a cool girl, but most importantly, she’s a nice, fair, and cool girl—the best kind and one I call a friend.

We do something similar on a much more hyper-local level, through our Buy Nothing group, targeting teen girls. It pays to help one another! 💗
