Hi, Francesca here, one half of Soru; me and my sister love to have direct lines to this lovely community and so we thought each month we would reach out personally with a few notes on what we have been loving of late, nothing too lengthy, a little memo to share thoughts/ places/ recipes and finds which might inspire.
Travel
Recently I stopped at Lakes By Yoo in the cotswolds, its not too far from where I live and I find being near to water so relaxing. Me, my husband, daughter and dog stopped in a lakeside cabin (all cabins are lakeside) we spent most of our time either using the spa pool or walking the lakes, my daughter loved the zip wire over one! And its placed well for visiting lots of very good local gastro pubs:
Id highly recommend The Three Horseshoes (owned by the Daylesford group) in Burford, we had amazing Sunday lunch here.
Chequers in Churchill, were we said hello to Gerald from Clarkson's Farm :-0 (my daughter is a massive fan!!) food here is always superb.
and for something a little more fussy The Double Red Duke in Clanfield
All were dog friendly.
Work Life
Its not often I visit London but I have been a couple of times recently for some very exciting meetings - one collaboration we have just announced which I am obsessed with! And another that is currently in the works, someone I don't think you would expect us to collab with at all so I'm looking forward to revealing that one too later this year!
Health & Wellness
Some other health and wellness bits I have been using a lot recently - This hair oil was given to me at Jasmine Hemsley's Ayurvedic retreat last year, I've used a lot of hair oils and this is a good one. I massage into my scalp while in the sauna then wash it off after the session. Its amazing for scalp and hair health.
I recently discovered the benefits of adding hydrogen to you water and its a game changer! Really energising as well as being anti oxidant and anti inflammatory. I've been using the EchoGo+ having 1 bottle a day (they are only small).
If you follow us on Instagram, you may have spotted our recent post on my passion other than jewels - biohacking! I recently invested in a large red light panel and a PEMF matt, both of which I adore. I started using red light originally over a year ago as I was suffering from painful eczema on my eye lids (not nice) the red light astounded me when all else had failed this little lamp cleared it all up but that wasn't all I noticed I felt happier and more energised too and I've been addicted ever since.
I bought my set up from Bon Charge and if you use code Soru15 you can get 15% off :-)
Jewels
The jewels I have been wearing on repeat! It's no secret I have a thing for 3 chains, my base layers tend to always be the Como and the Madonna chains. I've been mixing this up recently instead of my usual charm chain as the centre, using my Zodiac Pendant instead which I'm kind of obsessed with (that emotional Cancer in me!)
I’d love for you to enjoy them too — use code FOUNDERFAVES for 20% off the pieces below.
Thats all from me this month, I've loved connecting with you all. If you feel like connecting back you can find me on Instagram I'd love to hear from you!
