It’s been made blaringly apparent that Zoë Foster Blake just knows stuff. First and foremost, if you’ve tried any product within her range, Go-To Skin, you’ll be aware that the woman knows her way around a face. Not only that, but she also knows how to navigate heartbreak (Google: ‘Breakup Boss’), create the perfect fluffy brow for only $6, and she’ll even help you navigate motherhood.
With that, you’d be justified in thinking that Zoë’s next move might involve a sun lounge, a beach and a cocktail. Nope, instead we’re looking at late nights, a laptop and loads of coffee. Why? Because Zoë is writing book number 10.
“Tell me you’re writing a novel without telling me you’re writing a novel,” Zoë shared in a post to Instagram featuring a backlog of empty coffee mugs, tea cups and water jugs.
Though she didn’t reveal the genre of the book (your guess is as good as ours) Zoë did share some of her tips for staying focused. “This is much harder than it used to be for me,” she explained.
The reason? “[A] phone addiction and having kids.” Yup, checks out.
Enter Zoë’s distraction-free writing zone. This includes putting her iPhone to ‘do not disturb’, writing first thing in the morning and as soon as the kids are in school, not using social media beforehand, listening to binaural beats (check out her Spotify playlists, here), lots of coffee, aiming to write for at least 40 minutes a session and of course, tying her hair back.
Speaking of hair, we definitely hope it’s a beauty book! Keep everything crossed.

Do you have any guesses as to what Zoë’s next book will be about?
It’s funny how caffeine and writing go hand in hand
Probably gives that spike of energy to get started.
Like her list of things to do before writing.
Yes, it all makes sense> I get so distracted by my phone as well
I leave my phone at home when i go shopping as I find the phone calls at the wrong time can be irritating
I admire anyone who can write a book. I struggle writing a review. 😀
I am with you on that too S.P
Her skin is just luminous – she’s stunning!
You can see the reflection of a ring light in her eyes which would also help to make her skin look luminous.
she looks amazing
Even harder to write with kids.
Really exciting to see what she writes next.
No idea and tbh don’t care
yes all devices are distractions
I don’t think I knew she wrote books. I looked at the photo before I read anything so from the photo my guess was going to be a candle line 😆🤭 and then I read the article 🙃
😂 good on you Izzy!
How did she become an “expert” in break-ups? Did I miss something? I am not sure about these self proclaimed experts in everything, sorry not that I have anything against her but in general there seem to be a lot of “experts” in everything these days.
Im curious to see what the book is about.
I wish I had eyebrows like that. That’s the 1st thing I saw before reading the article.
No idea but should be interesting
I didn’t even know she’d written one book
Kids are a vicious distraction no matter what you’re trying to do!
So very true -Impossible sometimes to get your time to focus
No, and I don’t know what her other nine books are about.
No idea what the first books were about, but good on her.
She really does a bit of everything
Wish I had Fluffy Eyebrows like Zoë Foster Blake she always looks so beautiful with everything that she does.
She’s so pretty
She sounds very focused. Good on her
Yes she would need to be focused and you are right good for her.
Perhaps her next book will be about me time with a young family and working
I’m surprised that she’s written so many books!
Interesting! Great she is writing a book. When writing I have to snack all the time…coffee works for her
Like her list to minimise distractions
Cool wallpaper!
Very realistic for workers everywhere
Look forward to finding out what it will be about.
Maybe on how to disconnect from the world.. I probably won’t read the book
