Notes from the Weekend & this Week’s Links 29.01.24

LAST WEEK, we stopped by the Tate Modern for a brief visit. Long enough to view a Klein, a few Lichtensteins, and a Modigliani. We prefer the Tate Britain, but we hadn’t been to the Modern yet, so it was time. Over the weekend, I ordered oils, complexion bars, and Korean BB cream (so nice) from an online natural health shop. I also ordered a skincare bundle – Multi Moisture Mask, Super Serum, and Basic Balm – from a new line that launched last summer. Today I mixed the oils into a serum filled with vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories. It’s supposed to treat dark spots, sun damage, combat aging, improve circulation, and stimulate new skin cell growth. Ambitious, I know, but you never know! Sadly, I lost one of my new double pearl earrings this weekend. I didn’t even get a chance to show them to you yet. They were so pretty and I really liked them. That’s the third or fourth pair of gold earrings I’ve lost in the past few months. Our latest newsletter went out to paid subscribers on Wednesday. In it we discussed the new skincare range, internet habits I’m letting go, a Valentine’s shoot, a dreamy farmhouse in Brittany, and more. You can subscribe here if you’re interested. This Sunday we have something big to celebrate. We’re thinking of reservations at the new Italian restaurant in Hackney or the St. John pop-up at Fortnum’s. Whatever we decide, one thing’s certain: there will be champagne!

This week’s links include the 32 best hotels in London; and 7 stylish places to stay in Portugal’s Douro Valley; an indulgent cauliflower cheese recipe with cheddar, Emmental, and a crunchy breadcrumb topping; and much, much more.
