<p style="text-align: center;">Whilst the weather's cold, the nights are dark and we're still indoors hibernating, it's the perfect time of year to upgrade your self-care routine and try out new skincare, body and <b><a href="https://www.emmalouiselayla.com/search/label/Beauty" target="_blank">beauty</a></b> products. Whether it's committing to twice-weekly face masks, body brushing, making the time for indulgent baths, giving cold water showers a go, or treating dry winter skin to rich creams and moisturising oils each evening, these easy-to-keep self-care promises are New Year's resolutions that actually stick... Here are some of my favourite recent beauty discoveries, either brand new products or just new to me.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYn_KNw8cy1AxKx8BG197iFGRlBBecW4VW-SkYpVnffVnsr4wjv25QoyoJoc6b7M2T4egrKzOQkg4_KpdEdTZQXqJPM6XX0ArF7w0tecKXrDxc3Vcnxz9sECm8vZX30QBkEwf-coE24GMHOkaDmcCZnd13Ro-WsNtOfVd5U_ZqVxPEUuf3kGSw6qiUYzCe/s1800/N%C3%A9cessaire%20Body%20Products%20-%20luxury%20skincare%20&%20makeup%20review%20-%20beauty%20&%20fashion%20blog%20Emma%20Louise%20Layla.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nécessaire Body Products - luxury skincare & makeup review - beauty & fashion blog Emma Louise Layla" border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYn_KNw8cy1AxKx8BG197iFGRlBBecW4VW-SkYpVnffVnsr4wjv25QoyoJoc6b7M2T4egrKzOQkg4_KpdEdTZQXqJPM6XX0ArF7w0tecKXrDxc3Vcnxz9sECm8vZX30QBkEwf-coE24GMHOkaDmcCZnd13Ro-WsNtOfVd5U_ZqVxPEUuf3kGSw6qiUYzCe/s16000/N%C3%A9cessaire%20Body%20Products%20-%20luxury%20skincare%20&%20makeup%20review%20-%20beauty%20&%20fashion%20blog%20Emma%20Louise%20Layla.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p><i><b><a href="https://bit.ly/3wAQH2I" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nécessaire body wash</a></b>, <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3Ii1269" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">body exfoliator</a></b>, <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3SQKOpv" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">body lotion</a></b>, <b><a href="https://bit.ly/49pwZFs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">body serum</a></b>, <a href="https://bit.ly/3wwqLVP" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">hand cream</a> & <b><a href="https://bit.ly/42Z0pI3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">gel deodorant</a></b></i></p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Founded in 2018, the clean, vegan, cruelty-free brand <b><a href="https://bit.ly/49tZnq5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nécessaire</a></b> creates beautiful body products made with high-quality ingredients, in chic, minimalist packaging made from 85% post-consumer recycled paper.

The body wash lathers into a rich foam and nourishes the skin with omega 6 & 9 and vitamin C & E. The non-comedogenic exfoliator provides both chemical and physical exfoliation with bamboo charcoal, pumice, and glycolic, lactic & salicylic acid for softer, smoother skin. I apply the body serum, formulated with hyaluronic acid and ceramide NP to minimise dryness and niacinamide to strengthen the skin's barrier, followed by the multi-vitamin body lotion which moisturises the skin without greasiness. The fast-absorbing hand cream is rich in omegas, peptides and vitamins to nourish the skin, and lastly the deodorant gel is a clean, quick-drying, clear formula including 5% AHA, niacinamide, panthenol and chamomile flower extract to keep underarms fresh. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><img alt="Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm - luxury makeup & skincare review - beauty & style blog Emma Louise Layla" border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj06MrB64POnhJhNq59_7NI8pkLW4MoQCr-KplV2zg6dQWKBAfqQuDNIkmtYZjrHnv2rrP6eyba1-qd6A_PgekYXNMqABJHw_ZLuKeg8I_UvlXhiflRMd5BxFZ1chOvqPmbF86cLYwZca8s1ohpbUy0KSl4NIMMHDf5XAvUtqbe7FtdG92xQNk1aymQKtAp/s16000/Hourglass%20Phantom%20Volumizing%20Glossy%20Balm%20-%20luxury%20makeup%20&%20skincare%20review%20-%20beauty%20&%20style%20blog%20Emma%20Louise%20Layla.jpg" style="color: #0000ee;" /></div><p style="clear: both;"><b><a href="https://bit.ly/3UGnCNi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm</i></a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The award-winning <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3UGnCNi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">glossy balm</a></b> from Hourglass Cosmetics is a 3-in-1 multi-tasker, thanks to its innovative hybrid formula: the rich colour of a lipstick, high shine of a gloss, and nourishing comfort of a lip balm. It's a viral sensation - amassing 160m TikTok impressions before it even hit the one year mark - with one sold every minute across the globe. Believe the hype: it's THE perfect lip product for your handbag, and now available in 16 colours including two new shades: Wish (warm peach) and Reveal (true pink), plus two previously limited edition shades, Crave (warm pink) and Rouse (true chestnut), are now permanent.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbNTHM1Pck4z8teo_3sGZ1f2-QC_dXURStpeXIDpYZb3GmzpgJpVQRaJrfzYZThBJk6zmijW9Z7mTyXuGmrc5dWRG8S7xQ64VOqoIizE-d1rxjVsPGk9luvSl0SDrVSoOewZeg5ELNLt_deBFRYkbrq6UsdXD88TYQRJJuQINSzLHaG-71WjdUpXCC1Xc1/s1800/Dermalogica%20Pro-Collagen%20Banking%20Serum%20-%20luxury%20skincare%20review%20-%20beauty%20&%20style%20blog%20Emma%20Louise%20Layla.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dermalogica Pro-Collagen Banking Serum - luxury skincare review - beauty & style blog Emma Louise Layla" border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbNTHM1Pck4z8teo_3sGZ1f2-QC_dXURStpeXIDpYZb3GmzpgJpVQRaJrfzYZThBJk6zmijW9Z7mTyXuGmrc5dWRG8S7xQ64VOqoIizE-d1rxjVsPGk9luvSl0SDrVSoOewZeg5ELNLt_deBFRYkbrq6UsdXD88TYQRJJuQINSzLHaG-71WjdUpXCC1Xc1/s16000/Dermalogica%20Pro-Collagen%20Banking%20Serum%20-%20luxury%20skincare%20review%20-%20beauty%20&%20style%20blog%20Emma%20Louise%20Layla.JPG" /></a></div><p style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://bit.ly/42Agh3v" target="_blank"><i>Dermalogica Pro-Collagen Banking Serum</i></a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div>The powerful new <b><a href="https://bit.ly/42Agh3v" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">collagen serum</a></b> from Dermalogica helps promote, protect and preserve skin's collagen today, so you have more for tomorrow.

The body butter is a rich, luxurious cream which replenishes dry skin, leaving it soft and silky smooth. It's vegan, cruelty-free and easily absorbed, and gives a velvety finish along with the exotic fragrance of creamy vanilla orchid, sugared violet and sensual sandalwood.

<p style="text-align: center;">I recently spent a cosy, autumnal weekend with my husband and our two year old son at <a href="https://www.clivedenhouse.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Cliveden House</a>, the historical 5 star hotel in the Berkshire countryside, less than an hour's drive from London.</p><p style="text-align: center;">England does grand country house hotels <i>so </i>well, but we've barely scratched the surface - before starting a family, we wanted to explore as much of Europe as possible, so have only stayed at a handful of luxury hotels here in the UK - and Cliveden has been top of my list for a while.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Dating back to 1666, Cliveden House is known for its old-fashioned English opulence and illustrious past as a playground for the elite. Originally built for the Duke of Buckingham for his mistress, it has since hosted a roster of notable guests, including royalty, political figures, the literati and celebrities.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Astors, the wealthy American family, bought the property in 1893 and held lavish parties, hosting some of the most prominent names of the time, making Cliveden the glittering epicentre of British society.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Generations of the royal family stayed here, as did Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, George Bernard Shaw, Gandhi and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and this is where British politician John Profumo first laid eyes on Christine Keeler in the famous swimming pool, leading to the Profumo affair in the 1960s. </p><p style="text-align: center;">From lavish soirées to scandalous affairs, Cliveden House exudes grandeur of a bygone era from centuries of decadence, drama and intrigue. If walls could talk...</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Sat above the river Thames and surrounded by 376 acres of National Trust grounds, you approach the 17th century estate up a long gravel drive, past a marble fountain and the famous clock tower, surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens and wild woodlands.</p><p style="text-align: center;">As you step inside the neoclassical manor, you enter a sumptuous, wood-panelled great hall with cosy sofas around a roaring fire. We checked in and made our way through the hallways where old portraits, books, handwoven tapestries and suits of armour line the walls, and found our room.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Blending classical heritage with contemporary luxury, the stately home has 47 bedrooms, including 15 suites, each individually styled and named after illustrious guests - plus the freestanding Spring Cottage by the river that sleeps up to six.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We stayed in Grenfell, a classic room on the first floor of the main house overlooking the outdoor pool, with period features and antique furniture.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">We took leisurely strolls through the expansive National Trust gardens, dotted with Lord Astor’s sculpture collection. There's plenty to explore - you'll also find a maze, chapel, geometric parterre, rose garden, Asian-inspired water garden, majestic old trees, tranquil glades, a flint grotto plus row boats for hire.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We headed to the Pavilion Spa to use the swimming pool at a family-friendly time (children are welcome between 9.15-10.45am and 4-5.30pm), and I nipped out to the walled garden to brave the outdoor pool - the last remaining listed outdoor pool in England - for a quick dip. Both pools are heated, but it was November and the sun was setting, so a refreshing few minutes was enough!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Back in our room, I had an indulgent - and very rare - soak in the big bathtub, used the Noble Isle toiletries, donned a fluffy bathrobe, and got ready for dinner. We ate in both restaurants: the casual Astor Grill, serving classic gastropub-style dishes in Lord Astor's former stable block, and a fancier affair in the hotel's fine dining restaurant, where executive head chef Chris Hannon serves up modern British dishes using seasonal, local ingredients.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We skipped post-dinner drinks served in the library bar, where guests were chatting in hushed tones, curled up on sofas with cocktails and leather-bound books - next time we'll organise one of the hotel's babysitters and get involved.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Breakfast is served overlooking the terrace and gardens, with views of the rolling countryside beyond. Whilst sipping pots of loose leaf tea and coffee, we ordered à la carte dishes - a delicious eggs benedict for me, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon for him - and helped ourselves to pastries and fruit afterwards from the extravagant breakfast buffet in the rococo French Dining Room next door.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I used the gym whilst my husband took Raphael out for a drizzly walk to explore more of the gardens and burn off some of that unfaltering toddler energy. We warmed up with showers and got ready for lunch in the elegant Cliveden Dining Room.</p><p style="text-align: center;">There's a refined yet relaxed atmosphere, with couples and families celebrating special occasions, raising toasts and chinking glasses under the grand room's sparkling chandeliers.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Sunday lunch was excellent. From the set menu, I chose the chicken and the egg as a starter: sweetcorn, confit chicken leg with pickled onion, followed by the roast sirloin of beef as a main, served with all the traditional trimmings: crispy roast potatoes, crunchy roast vegetables and a Yorkshire pudding.</p><p style="text-align: center;">For desserts, we shared the milk chocolate with caramel and hazelnuts, and the dark chocolate ganache with pistachios. All dishes were great - I hope to go back one day soon for the tasting menu or a special afternoon tea.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Before we knew it, it was time to head home as the sun set on a wonderful weekend. Combining opulent architecture, exquisite decor, glorious gardens, a luxurious spa and great restaurants in a striking Italianate mansion steeped in over 350 years of rich history, Cliveden is a real treat. We hope to be back soon!</p>

The colder months mean dehydrating central heating inside and chilly air outside, but the upcoming changes in temperature, humidity and sunlight intensity all impact skin health too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Spring weather is less harsh and drying, which means that your skin may produce more oil and be more prone to breakouts. To combat this, switch from heavy creams to lighter formulas, water-based serums and lightweight lotions, and consider products suitable for combination or oily skin. We should all be wearing SPF year-round, but if you've been lax over winter, introduce a daily broad-spectrum sun cream with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin and prevent premature ageing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's also time to up your exfoliation game - skin cells dehydrate and die faster in winter with changing environments and temperatures, so exfoliating twice a week to buff away dry, dead skin cells helps reveal the new, healthy skin underneath.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are 7 products I'm using this spring - some are repeat favourites, some are brand new, all are recommended.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXGPENY1eb96lq0Fw0gK5PO58dgnzqLoEksjVZod-wuyyzHzUErQIKYWkMOzjtlXKWgDd7wEzzLxyYwCbf-23QP6N2EAPUZJ3xkniehHmikKBhmyT9zKDbX-nfGkjzh5lzQBAs2fN2oA64XsDc66EM2qkh1siO9aTjNTqQX83ltV48tFEjCV31nbk28Q/s1600/Spring%20skincare%20review%20from%20Dermalogica,%20111%20Skin%20&%20Burt's%20Bees%20-%20UK%20beauty%20blogger.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Spring skincare review from Dermalogica, 111 Skin & Burt's Bees - UK beauty blogger" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXGPENY1eb96lq0Fw0gK5PO58dgnzqLoEksjVZod-wuyyzHzUErQIKYWkMOzjtlXKWgDd7wEzzLxyYwCbf-23QP6N2EAPUZJ3xkniehHmikKBhmyT9zKDbX-nfGkjzh5lzQBAs2fN2oA64XsDc66EM2qkh1siO9aTjNTqQX83ltV48tFEjCV31nbk28Q/s16000/Spring%20skincare%20review%20from%20Dermalogica,%20111%20Skin%20&%20Burt's%20Bees%20-%20UK%20beauty%20blogger.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://bit.ly/3LrZyc2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>111Skin Vitamin C Brightening Booster</i></a><i> </i></b>& <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3TdLNzy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Dermalogica Age Smart MultiVitamin Power Recovery Masque</i></a></b></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Formulated by a Harley Street cosmetic surgeon, 111Skin's <a href="https://bit.ly/3LrZyc2" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">vitamin C brightening booster</a> targets pigmentation, age spots and uneven skin tone.

Its high-dose, 3.5% retinoid complex helps reduce wrinkles, pores, dark spots and uneven texture. Retinols can cause temporary redness and sensitivity, so they recommended you start using the serum twice a week, then gradually increase to nightly (and always wear SPF). I'm currently using it sparingly every other night for a couple of weeks now, and it's helped smooth the texture on my cheeks and jawline.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

I found my Christmas lights but not yet the decorations, so it's a minimalist tree this year. I haven't had time to bake mince pies and haven't found the box with my Christmas jumpers and party season sequins, so my wardrobe has been unusually un-festive. As we're still distancing where possible and avoiding crowds, I'm not seeing The Nutcracker, going for Christmas drinks with friends (well, it would have been baby-friendly lunches this year!) or ice skating at Somerset House as we usually do, and for the second year running, we didn't go for a Christmas markets weekend somewhere in Europe. Despite having an almost <i>entirely </i>empty social calendar, this month has still <i>flown </i>by! With just a few days to go until the big day, I'm ticking off the remaining <b><a href="https://www.boots.com/christmas" rel="sponsored" target="_blank">Christmas gifts</a></b> for my favourite people from everyone's favourite pharmacy, with click and collect and next day delivery still available, along with 3 for 2s, 1/2 price products and lots of good offers, plus the <b><a href="https://www.boots.com/sale">winter sale</a></b> is now on.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We're, pending negative lateral flow tests all around, spending Christmas here in London with my mum, bro, sister-in-law and nephews - so there's plenty still to buy, including all of husband's presents. I always give the classic men's stocking fillers every year: socks, underwear and moisturiser, and Clinique For Men, my favourite men's skincare brand, is currently included in the 3 for 2 offer, so I'm giving the <a href="https://www.boots.com/clinique-for-men-face-wash-200ml-10169264" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>face wash</b></a> as well as the <b><a href="https://www.boots.com/clinique-for-men-moisturizing-lotion-100ml-10169263" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">moisturiser</a></b> this year.

If you're a beer or gin drinker, there are excellent no-alcohol or low-alcohol substitutes, but I've found 0% wines to be rather hit-and-miss, so I thought I'd share my favourites for any fellow wine lovers who are pregnant, doing Sober October, teetotal, the designated driver, or just trying to cut back.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoAcR25uQc6xoQUYScZkrZUWP64E_arFRrp7MfYB_JkL3kGWUUCVMQH1KUzsWYLbnj6rKxs63rjGFId738-UZQ-J5pwqwYMLKmRZjSigEYzGGjc4-XeLh888y45OvXQFLNOPiAfOPbk9zj/s2047/Alcohol-Free+Wines+from+Oddbird%252C+Belle+%2526+Co+and+De+Bortoli+-+UK+food+%2526+lifestyle+blog.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Alcohol-Free Wines from Oddbird, Belle & Co and De Bortoli - UK food & lifestyle blog" border="0" data-original-height="2047" data-original-width="1535" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoAcR25uQc6xoQUYScZkrZUWP64E_arFRrp7MfYB_JkL3kGWUUCVMQH1KUzsWYLbnj6rKxs63rjGFId738-UZQ-J5pwqwYMLKmRZjSigEYzGGjc4-XeLh888y45OvXQFLNOPiAfOPbk9zj/s16000/Alcohol-Free+Wines+from+Oddbird%252C+Belle+%2526+Co+and+De+Bortoli+-+UK+food+%2526+lifestyle+blog.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a name='more'></a></span>First up is <a href="https://bit.ly/3BJUNTz" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Oddbird</a> (available at <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3BJUNTz" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Harvey Nichols</a></b> and <a href="https://bit.ly/30ucLff" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Amazon</a>), a Swedish brand producing world-class wines liberated from alcohol. Created by Moa Gürbüzer, after enlisting the help of Champagne expert Richard Juhlin, Oddbird aims to change drinking norms across Scandinavia and the world. As a Champagne lover, I was delighted to discover their <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3DJ9Spb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">blanc de blancs</a> </b>- made from 100% chardonnay grapes grown in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, picked young and aged for 12 months - which is the best 0% sparkling and closest to Champagne I've tried. Oddbird's <a href="https://bit.ly/3FOWDFj" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">sparkling rosé</a><b> </b>is made from a chardonnay and pinot noir blend, and excellent too. The new <b><a href="https://oddbird.com/product/low-intervention-organic-white-no-1/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">white</a></b> is a garganega and vespaiola blend from the Veneto region of Italy - it's lovely, fresh, low intervention and 100% organic. I haven't tried it, but there's also an <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3aGnips" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">alcohol-free spumante</a></b> for prosecco lovers.</div><p style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://bit.ly/3aD5qf4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Belle & Co</a> </b>(available at <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3aD5qf4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amazon</a></b> and <a href="https://bit.ly/2YRfOgw" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Ocado</a>) is a British brand producing a soft, slightly sweet, fruity - but not cloying - sparkling which recently won the IWSC Bronze Award. The <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3vd8Q1I" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">rosé</a></b> is good, but the <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3n2pFsC" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">brut</a></b> is great.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Lastly, <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3j7oUNx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the very cautious one</a> </b>from Australian producer <a href="https://bit.ly/3mYLkSe" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">De Bortoli</a> (available at <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3mYLkSe" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ocado</a>)</b> is a fruity, perfumed gewürztraminer and riesling blend balancing off-dry, acidity and freshness, which recently scored 91 points at the IWSC 2020 awards.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Let me know if you give any a go.

Despite being discouraged by her family, Kusama studied painting in Kyoto before moving to the United States in 1957 in pursuit of freedom and a wider world. She immersed herself in the booming New York art scene, before returning to Japan in 1973. After experiencing health problems and hallucinations, she admitted herself to a Tokyo hospital in 1977 where she still lives, near her studio where she creates internationally acclaimed paintings, sculptures, performances and installations.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxN7puGylRJ-dOblodVY4nHdXw1FarmteOPl9v1FuEFuF2petbsihLWgz221yFGmujE5BaIqgAjMlxk94Z_XHZYENxYEr2B3RHyt9mJgkRZB544Xj3048m97aQigdYAAfzpbaSHvAB0Om7/s1930/Chandelier+Of+Grief+by+Yayoi+Kusama+-+Infinity+Mirror+Rooms+2021+exhibition+at+the+Tate+Modern%252C+London.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Chandelier of Grief by Yayoi Kusama - Infinity Mirror Rooms 2021 exhibition at the Tate Modern, London" border="0" data-original-height="1930" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxN7puGylRJ-dOblodVY4nHdXw1FarmteOPl9v1FuEFuF2petbsihLWgz221yFGmujE5BaIqgAjMlxk94Z_XHZYENxYEr2B3RHyt9mJgkRZB544Xj3048m97aQigdYAAfzpbaSHvAB0Om7/s16000/Chandelier+Of+Grief+by+Yayoi+Kusama+-+Infinity+Mirror+Rooms+2021+exhibition+at+the+Tate+Modern%252C+London.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tate Modern presents a rare opportunity to step into Kusama's unique world with two entrancing, large-scale works. <i>Chandelier of Grief</i> features an eternal reflection of mirrored walls in a darkened room, with a flickering crystal chandelier rotating from the ceiling.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In <i>Filled with the Brilliance of Life - </i>one of Kusama’s largest installations, made for her 2012 Tate Modern retrospective - visitors move through a reflective walkway over a shallow pool.

I had a relaxing full body massage on my birthday, and we visited the serene bath house each day for a swim in the natural thermal pools, supplied by the city's original, mineral-rich springs (it's the only UK hotel with direct access to a thermal spring). It's a Leading Hotels of the World property for good reason - I'd highly recommend staying there.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvKxRrpKv16-TtVk62cV-hnJtsfY6mkZQmNxsNSIk0KoW9RCxWJ8ancqWX7lVvwO0jjW9bBn9FIp0h9zSC25HkGpLi5ewQRkrVxGromkM623R3vqkv5DwX9CYx_W_umaFvQdz85KNB_v0e/s1350/Rainy+bluebells+in+the+Parade+Gardens%252C+Bath+-+Emma+Louise+Layla+Berry%252C+UK+travel+%2526+lifestyle+blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;
