Dear,
|
|
So Taylor Swift is
Time magazine’s person of the year. And ‘Swiftie’
was a runner up in Oxford University
Press’s Word of the Year, only to be outranked by
‘rizz’ (listening to Radio 4 presenters talk all things ‘rizz’
raised a smile in my house). Swift was chosen, says Time, because
she ‘represents joy’. And joy is much-underrated. It’s why new
cult mind and body work-out Sanctum
(which pops up in churches in London and is finding a permanent
base next year) has hit a beat (Arizona Muse and Tiffanie Darke
are fans) – it doesn’t take itself too seriously in a world where
wellness can feel like a really stuffy serious place – all hushed
tones, pastel colours and turning inwards. Sanctum lets you howl
it out and shake it all off along with 100 other people in the
room. Are you ready for it?
Have a great week.

Wild
For Wonkacore

|
Another film, another ‘core’... This time it’s Wonkacore. Think chocolatey, aubergine hues and thick
velvets. The ultimate accessory? That’s easy. A chocolate bar. Mine’s
a Crunchie, if you’re asking.
