My name is Glenda Taylor and I am the owner of Angelico Ltd.
I read somewhere that everybody should have three careers in their lives. Well, I think I have had three so far and am about to embark on a fourth, so I’m doing pretty well! I trained as a dancer and danced professionally until my first child was born. I really believed that I would just carry on dancing after she was born, but we just didn’t like being away from each other. Being a dancer requires hours and hours of training, rehearsing, and performing, so I segued out of dancing and into aromatherapy where I created and consulted on many brands. I even made a bespoke perfume for royalty!
Both aromatherapy and dance are still very much in my life. I dance and exercise regularly and I have a beautiful natural skincare range called Angelico. I have written three books; one on aromatherapy, one on baby skincare (both published by Ryland Peters and Small), and my anecdotal memoir Arms Out Like Wings which is in podcast form on my website, glendataylor.com. My fourth book, Natural Glow, also published by Ryland Peters and Small and Cico Books, is available in all good bookstores, Amazon, or direct from me from Angelico.
