The new at-home cardio machine to rival Peloton, and
why we all need a house coat in our lives right now

It’s Earth Day next
week, but unlike all those other ridiculous days conjured up
usually for commercial purposes (bacon sandwich appreciation day,
anyone?), we really should do Earth Day every day. Every action we
make to reduce our carbon footprint (check what yours is here) is a step forward.
The future is in our hands and we have choices, so whether you love fashion, have children, are gym junkies or want to eat right for the planet
(and possibly all four!) – we’d like to help you make the right ones.
Have a great week.

WHAT’S
KEEPING MY SPIRITS UP
|
|
|
|
Cinema nights chez toi
This is the best date night idea I’ve come
across in a while. We’ve all been missing the big screen but Celestial Cinema allows
you to recreate the magic at home. For £125, they’ll send you a
projector, a 72-inch screen, popcorn, a mini bottle of Moet (ok, you
may need to upgrade to a full bottle) and some pick ‘n’ mix. Friday
night sorted. You’re welcome.
|
|
|
|
Rowing
I know gyms are open but
I’m still loving the at-home exercise vibe. It’s so much more
convenient. The latest bit of kit to lust after is the Hydrow, a home-use
rowing machine with live classes streamed from wonderful waterways
all over the world. And it uses significantly more muscle power than
a bike. Is that bye bye, Peloton?
|
|
|
|
House coats
I love a house coat, it’s almost
my favourite sartorial item – it’s an excellent multi-tasker. Part
dressing gown/part cardigan/part coatigan/part coat, it’s one
hardworking item that can look extremely chic but is also exceedingly
comfortable. Win-win.

FIVE THINGS YOU

Solas at The Savoy
The Savoy is the latest top
London hotel to embrace al fresco, launching a pop-up on its iconic entrance
courtyard. Titled Solas – which translates as light, joy
and comfort in Gaelic – the space will feature a raw seafood bar,
plus a five-metre chandelier artwork.

The Hepworth Wakefield’s
Spring Flower Festival
Back in 2019, The Hepworth
Wakefield transformed a strip of grass outside the gallery into a

and shrubs. The space is now being celebrated in an online festival, running
for two weeks from 19 April.

Bounded
by the Atlantic and set within a particularly scenic corner of
County Galway, Connemara is famous for its wild terrain and soft
colours.
Rust-coloured bogs are dotted with polished grey-blue lakes; old
dry-stone walls are threaded over hills; and coral beaches, sandy
bays and little harbours are edged by an ever-changing ocean.
While
the time might not be right to visit Connemara just yet, we've
summed up everything you need to know about this stunning region
below...
