Beatles legend Paul McCartney, found herself deep in thought while on her expansive Worcestershire retreat, on which "a million trees" have been planted."I was living my best life and thinking: 'All that matters is that I get to do all the things I wish my mum had,'" she exclaimed.She also revealed that her animal rights activist and cookbook author mother's opinion is always in her mind when she explores new business ventures, as she would like to make her proud from beyond the grave."I’m so nervous about [my new] beauty line, but I know my mum would love it and she’d trust it because her daughter did it," she said.Ironically, Linda, who died from breast cancer in 1998, had always had a "low-maintenance" approach to beauty, often shunning both makeup and jewellery.In fact, in a revelation about life in the McCartney household growing up, Stella has recalled that the family were often totally naked while relaxing on their remote Scottish farmstead."We were always naked [and] my parents didn’t even wear deodorant and yet they never smelled," she mused to the Telegraph.However fashionista Stella says she didn't fully embrace the bohemian attitude on all levels.She would often beg her mum to wear makeup, offering to do makeovers for her, and would have to "nag" her to wear clothes that were fancy.However Stella joked that she seems to have inherited her minimalist attitude in some ways, after showing the interviewer arms almost totally free from jewellery.The star is soon to launch her new organic skincare range which is suitable for vegans.Meanwhile she has gifted the elusive and as yet unreleased products to her Beatle father Paul.There are just three products in the line - a serum, a cleanser and a moisturiser.Stella.
