Greeks and Olives go hand in hand. A Greek salad is never complete without a generous handful of olives drenched in olive oil and sprinkled with oregano. So The Greek Wives Club is delighted to introduce to you all UK based company Oliveology run by the lovely Marianna.
As you all know, the Greek olive (sometimes Spanish if supplies are low!) makes up a huge part of my life, featuring heavily in both my dietary and beauty regime. So I was very excited to be given the opportunity to test/taste and review a number of delicious delicacies straight from an olive farm…

I read a lot of books that are either based in Greece/Cyprus or feature Greek characters and I must admit that sometimes I can become disinterested with the Big Fat Greek Wedding type similarities and mechanical descriptions of the Greek landscape. Not so with my latest read EVANTHIA’S GIFT by the…
If you haven’t heard of her already, The Greek Wives Club would like to introduce the wonderfully talented author, writer and food blogger Effie Kammenou. With two highly acclaimed novels under her belt and a successful food blog, this Greek wife is a force to be reckoned with.

Food. Water. Shelter. Clothing. The basic necessities of life. Now it seems we have to add Social Media to that list. When I first started my blog the only other social media platform I used was facebook. Previously I had been part of the MSN generation (never MySpace) but this…
Every year I set myself a reading challenge and every year I fail! I usually set myself a target number on Goodreads but last year I didn’t finish half the books on my list, so this year I am planning to change all that. I tend to read a lot of…
I just wanted to write a quick blogmas post today to address the topic of the big guy in red. No I’m not talking about Papou in his festive pyjamas, I’m talking about SANTA CLAUS! I had a magical childhood and Christmas is at the forefront of my most magical memories. Each December…
No this is not a book by the SAS. It is by the SA’s! SA stands for ‘supporting artist‘ or in this case ‘sexy artist‘ as the authors like to be known. I used to be a sexy…er…I mean…supporting artist. Before I moved up to ‘lead artist‘. Then I never…
In many of my posts, I often bang on about the benefits of olive oil. I use it in my food, on my hair and sometimes on my body (for that oh so lovely Greek salad glow). However, when it comes to the daily skincare regime for my face, I…
I love receiving holiday postcards from friends and family. It’s so much nicer than a boring email and so much more real – it’s something that you can physically put away in a box and look back on rather than trawling through the internet. But how did the postcard phenomenon…

Not being a ‘Gentleman’, the prestigious, male members only clubs of London were a mystery to me before I was asked to write an article about them for Status Magazine. But with many of the traditional gentlemen’s clubs now opening their doors to women, perhaps its time to learn a thing or two about…
Before I started my blog and wrote my first book, I was teetering on the brink of an abyss. The abyss of creative depression, to be exact. The rigidity of a law degree and the subsequent tedious legal jobs, coupled with the frustrations of an attempted career within the fickle…
