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.”

Whilst some of us started lockdown with good intentions of finally getting into a perfect skincare routine of some description, it all became a bit hit and miss for our writer Lorna Oakley.
.
With the change in weather and sleeping patterns now that a lot of us are working from home (and finally giving up on the diet now winter is coming!) our skin’s collagen is definitely suffering a little bit.

.

Lorna tests out Proto-col, which tackles the two key elements that contribute to skin ageing: Intrinsic ageing, a naturally occurring process and extrinsic ageing, a result of lifestyle and environmental factors that affect the skin and cause signs and symptoms of premature ageing.

.

“I’ve always been a fan of trying something different, however in my mind it’s also important to be medically or scientifically proven.”

.

Novikov Italian Restaurant has an imposing wood-fi

Novikov Italian Restaurant has an imposing wood-fired oven, suede wall panelling, mirrors in solid oak frames and great food.

.

Many ingredients are locally sourced from the UK and there are some exciting souped-up versions of classics. For example, the Bolognese is made with Wagyu beef sourced from Yorkshire. An endless variety of traditional dishes and Italian favourites make it very hard to choose which dishes to have.

.

Our writer Katie was struck by the sheer size of the restaurant and its authenticity, however she states: “You’ve not come to Novikov for Italian feasting in an understated setting. You’re here to eat very well, splash out and to see and be seen.”

One of life’s little luxuries…

If National Curry Week passed you by, you need not

If National Curry Week passed you by, you need not worry, because a table will be available all year round at Grand Trunk Road in South Woodford @grandtrunk_road , where Katie Bamber sampled a selection of delicacies that are guaranteed to warm a cold Autumnal evening.
.
With both the chef and the owner having come from Tamarind, the famous Mayfair restaurant with a Michelin star, you can be confident that the food will be delicious and service top notch. But it’s lower key dining with a comfortable atmosphere here, which is perfect for indian food, made for sharing with friends and family.

As Autumn begins, @katarinap37 looks back on a lazy Labour Day weekend in British Columbia, focusing on the simple things – loved ones, good drink, food, and comfort.
.
Curl up with Kat as she samples a selection of tipples to perfectly complement a crisp evening of food shared with family.
.
“As the cool, crisp late summer air began to give way to the familiar scent of firewood, punctuating the evenings with its warm reminders of Autumn, we knew that Labor Day was upon us. Pumpkin spice lattes had already begun to spring up in café windows, and hues of pink and gold were dappling the leaves.”

Working From Home: Groundhog Day or solid foundations to a new wave of working?
.
As it is #worldmentalhealthday we wanted to share an article that we found so helpful when we were all plunged into the world of home working.
.
As there is still so much uncertainty about our future, how can we better manage our mental health when we are working and living in the same space?
.
In the early days of lockdown life when scores of how-to-work-from-home advice posts were flooding the WWW and social platforms, Katie Bamber travel kept schtum on the topic.
.

Mike Cranmer enjoyed a weekend away to the beauti

Mike Cranmer enjoyed a weekend away to the beautiful Cornish town of Falmouth.

Seeking out cold pints in bookshops (you’ll have to read it to understand!), fresh mussels and views over the epic British coastlines…
.
“Waking up in the Lookout Suite at the Greenbank Hotel revealed a sunny day of limitless promise. Yachts bobbing, as yachts do; the lovely waterfront of next-door-neighbour Flushing across the way; the ferry piggy-backing a Land Rover across to big-brother Falmouth. Breakfast on the verandah and a chance to look through the telescope providentially provided.”
