The Gallivant hotel is the perfect hideaway for a

The Gallivant hotel is the perfect hideaway for a cool beach break on the south coast. Our writer Katie enjoys yoga, locally sourced cuisine and even a bracing dip in the channel.
.
Here she gives us a little extract:

“The icing on The Gallivant cake is the free daily yoga and pilates sessions held at 8am and 4pm each day, on the beach if the weather is fine. Ours was a moody, grey afternoon so we took a yoga class in the Summer House with Katie, who was brilliant. She offered us the option of a restorative class or a more dynamic flow; we chose the latter, followed it up with a plunge in English Channel at high tide before heading in to warm up by the fire with a glass of Chapel Down.”

.

The days are getting colder, shorter and darker, so it's time we started finding some skincare products we can use from the comfort of our warm, cosy homes.
.
"You can never have enough skincare right?" says our resident beauty guru @stylelis, who took the opportunity to experiment with different clinical and natural products in lockdown to see which would leave her skin glowing.
.

Lis-Marie said: “There is definitely something for every woman within these clinical and natural brands and I recommend you try them, we all need to keep our precious skin happy and hydrated.”

.

We couldn’t agree more!

We reckon we could count on two hands the amount of times we’ve had a full face of makeup on since March…

But there is no better feeling than getting your hands on a new product to try out and @_lornajayne_ was pleasantly surprised by a gift of make up from Burt’s Bees, a company with humble beginnings and a sustainable future.

.

With ingredients from nature, responsible sourcing, no animal testing and recyclable packaging, Burt’s Bees is helping our environment as well as helping us look our best.

.

“For just a hint of colour and eight hours of moisture the tinted lip balm was my absolute favourite product. The Botanical Waxes in these softly tinted balms will take your lips to lovely in one pretty swipe.”

.

On a road trip from Vancouver, Katarina stops off

On a road trip from Vancouver, Katarina stops off at CheckMate Estate and Cedar Creek Estate Winery to indulge in some of Canada’s first 100 point wines.
.
CheckMate Artisanal Winery, bespeaks a bounty of some of the most exceptional expressions of Chardonnay and Merlot in the world.
.
Their wines are now being distributed at ultra-luxury fine wine wholesaler Hedonism Wines in Mayfair, London, as well as premium on-trade venues like Annabel’s.
.
Then on to restaurant Home Block, part of the Cedar Creek Estate Winery, which pays homage to the beautiful Home Block Vineyard that surrounds it.
.
A mere 4-something hours drive from Vancouver through some surreally beautiful scenery, it makes for a very doable weekend visit both for local British Columbians trapped in quarantine and visitors from afar looking for a refined adventure.

Who else is feeling a little bit of lockdown letha

Who else is feeling a little bit of lockdown lethargy?

If you’ve taken advantage of the eat out to help out scheme a few too many times and are in need of a health overhaul, our health guru @_lornajayne_ has tested the Organic Pharmacy's sellout 10 day detox plan to see if it is worth the hype.

.

“While for some the term “detox” may still bring to mind fad dieting, depriving your body of food or drastic weight loss, the 10 Day Detox from The Organic Pharmacy is about supporting your body while helping it to gently cleanse and replenish the essential nutrients.”
.
Lorna combined the plan with nutritious meals by chef Rose Mann of Farm Girl included in the kit. It provides ten days of varied and delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack.
.

With new rules about meeting others imposed in many parts of the UK, the outdoor picnic could be about to make a comeback...

Live theatre in intimate venues is now something of a luxury.

@wordsbydarling was lucky enough to see a performance of Spillage!, part of Brighton’s Fringe Festival, England’s largest Arts Festival.

Written and performed by UK Anti-Slam winner, Stewart Taylor and directed by Anna Carr, ‘Spillage!’ is a hugely enjoyable one man show about anxiety, peer pressure and mental health.
.
Sara said: “Using spoken word, clowning and puppetry, Taylor’s energy and charisma were mesmerising in the intimate venue.”
.

We love a bit of pampering here at the Bespoke Black Book. But have you ever thought of pampering your house, by making it feel relaxed, calming and comfortable?
.
Our yummy mummy, Yemi, tried out the home products range from #CrabtreeandEvelyn including candles, room spray and diffuser sets.
.
“The Raw Instinct Rock Diffuser Set is quoted to be “true to Crabtree & Evelyn’s wanderlust nature”. Lava rocks sit within the signature dark green glass box. The lava rocks hold their own woody and floral spices but when combined with a few drops of the Raw Instinct Concentrated Oil the scent becomes a more dynamic scent-sual exploration of the wild outdoors.”
