Hippy Fish - bringing Poke to Marylebone

9/2/2018

Hippy Fish arrived in Marylebone at the end of 2017 serving much needed colourful healthy food in these dark cold winter days. 

For those of you new to poke - it is a dish originating in Hawaii with strong Japanese influences. A base of rice (traditionally, but Hippy Fish offers several carb and no-carb options), topped with a range of veggies, flavourings and dressed raw fish, or prawns, tofu and even chicken at Hippy Fish to allow for maximum flexibility. They had a range of delicious sauces which really lift the flavours. Their fish is sourced from the same supplier as Nobu!

I'm a big fan of poke generally and used to have to go to Soho where there are few cafes specialising in it, so it is great to have a specialist in the neighbourhood. They have a range of drinks, and are soon offering coffee too. 

Full disclosure - I did get a free bowl of Poke when I visited to learn about the store but I was planning to stop by to try it out anyway. It was yummy and I enjoyed choosing all the various toppings and condiments from the large range. Here's my bowl before I scoffed it!

4/12/2017

0 Comments

 
I recently stopped by the new One 10 Indoor Cycling studio on Baker Street to find our more about the concept. For those of you into fitness, it is an interesting and fun new addition to the area and should appeal as an alternative to the gym as well as to those who want to take their cycling to another level. https://one-10.com

There are different classes based on what your focus is and what you want to achieve - fitness or cycling performance. The team can talk you through which classes may be the right ones for you. 

They have kindly sent over a special offer for anyone interested in trying our the classes. All the information is below, or you can also stop by the studio to learn more - they have a massive space (and the showers looked so nice, I was tempted to ask if I could just go there to use them!).

One 10, 16 Baker Street, London W1U 3BL
 
One 10 is London’s first digitally connected cycling studio. A true multi-platform experience that gives our riders the most complete indoor cycling workout. Connecting One 10 riders with friends, cyclists and a community of fitness enthusiasts. Our aim is to make you feel so engaged you won’t even notice that you have smashed your own personal fitness goals. Our two concepts set us apart from other studios. There’s ‘Paceline’- a competitive, performance and stats based class and ‘Nirvana’ – A motivational, music & rhythm based class.
 
 
New to fitness or returning back to fitness:
 
When you walk in to the studio you will be greeted by a One 10 team member who will get you set up on your bike and answer any questions/concerns you may have. We recommend turning up at least 15 minutes prior to class so that you feel confident and comfortable before you begin your class. Once the class starts the lights go down and the studio becomes dark enough to take away any inhibitions which allows you to really let go and focus on your ride. Our indoor cycling classes are great for levels of fitness. Whether it’s your first or hundredth time on a bike. Our classes are low impact and high intensity. You will improve your cardio for a healthy heart, strengthen your core, burn calories, relieve stress all while being a part of a like-minded community that feels like a team. Your results from your class will be monitored and sent to your online profile so you can track your progress while you go at your own pace.

Nutrion Advice from Teresa Lyons

24/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Recently I was able to sit down for a chat with a lovely lady, Teresa Lyons, who is a Marylebone-based nutritionist who specialised in Personalised Functional Nutrition. I thought it would be of interest to people as we are all becoming much more aware of the impact of what and how we eat affects our wellbeing. You can find out about what Teresa does at teresalyonsnutrition.com

As a parents or carers, we are constantly kept on our toes but little one with lots of energy. Unfortunately, it isn't always easy to keep up and fatigue can set in. But if the fatigue is more than just kid-related tiredness or is affecting your life, it may be worth thinking about advice from a healthcare professional. Similarly, if you have concerns about recurring flu’s or colds, digestive health, skin, fertility, pre/post pregnancy nutrition you may wish to get advice and guidance in order to optimise your health through nutrition. You can see the areas she particularly focussed on at teresalyonsnutrition.com/areas-of-expertise/

The really interesting part of my chat with Teresa was her understanding of how any advice about changes she may suggest need to be achievable and often need to be changes we can apply to the whole family - no one wants another separate meal to make and if you have to do that, the likelihood is that you will give up implementing the changes. She really seemed to understand and appreciate the importance of striking a balance between developing the most effective personalised nutrition and dietary plan to support each person’s nutritional and health needs, while keeping it as realist and easy to follow so it fits the individual’s life, especially for those of us with families. 

Teresa spoke about the importance of coaching and guidance within her clinic, and it was clear from our conversation that this is a central focus of her consultations.  She clearly recognises the blocks that so many of us can face when taking on changes, especially in our diets.  For this reason, her clinical approach focuses equally on scientific, evidence based nutrition, and working with individuals on a deeper level, supporting people in implementing dietary and lifestyle changes and working through the obstacles that can get in our way.  
Teresa uses a variety of methods to assess and understand a patient's needs from a physical standpoint and also obviously will talk about what you are trying to achieve or get help with. She often applies physical examination as well as laboratory tests to identify your personal needs. 

She is a lovely warm person as well as being discrete. We had discussed how her service can be used alongside traditional medicine, as well as either being a first post of call or something you turn to after medical advice. She will of course advise appropriately if medical advice should be taken. 



Teresa offers a free 20-minute initial consultation where you can discuss your main health concerns and goals with her.  During this call Teresa will also inform you more about Personalised Functional Nutrition and the consultation process.  Visit teresalyonsnutrition.com/contact/ for more information.

London Storage Vaults - a hidden asset in Marylebone!
www.londonstoragevaults.com
I was recently contacted by a storage facility on our doorstep which I though many of us might find interesting. See below for the details. They are located on Great Portland Street and have a lovely facility, priced fairly! I visited and was surprised to find this in Central London. 
"London Storage Vaults are the ultimate in self storage, the only secure, climate controlled self storage facility in Central London. We are located in Marylebone, close to Fitzrovia and Oxford Circus. We offer a free collection service in central London within 2 hours of booking on line and redelivery for only £20.
The storage vaults are ideal for storing art, books, equipment, indoor and outdoor furniture, skis, golf clubs, wine, bikes etc. There is a concierge on hand to help and the vaults can be accessed at any time 24/7.
Playing Golf? Why not collect your clubs on the way home from work instead of cluttering your home. Going away this weekend? Grab your bags after lunch. Too much art for your walls? Love wine? Store in a climate controlled environment, we’ll even turn the bottles for you! At the end of summer, store your barbeques and outdoor furniture which are no longer needed, preserving them from the elements. Thinking about having another baby? Store your cots, equipment, toys and accessories to prevent re buying. Love skiing in the Winter? Store your skis and boots until the season begins.
Students: Away for the holidays? Store your stuff securely. Declutter after finals, store in a clean and dry environment and we will redeliver at the start of term.

Aurora London - beautiful products from a local mum

25/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
On of our lovely local mums Sarah is part of the team behind Aurora London - an online brand that is a go-to destination for luxurious accessories at guilt-free prices (yippee!). 

Given the festive season is approaching (!!!), I thought this would be a perfect time to highlight the brand as they are making beautiful items using the same high grade leathers and working with the same family owned factory as some of the leading designer brands. The difference is that they do not wholesale, instead they pass on the cost saving to our customer so that  we might enjoy high quality leather goods at affordable prices.

Some background to the brand:
In 2014 Devina DiCarlo and Sarah Auerbach established Aurora London after identifying a gap in the market for high-quality, luxury leather accessories at accessible prices. This London-based brand is fast becoming the go-to website for stylish women looking for fashion-forward yet timeless pieces crafted from high quality leather using superior craftsmanship. All of the products are designed in London and made in Southern Spain.

By retailing on-line they pass on the wholesale margin to their customers. This model has enabled the growth of a solid customer base, with repeat purchasing and word-of-mouth propelling the brand forward, fast.

Currently the Aurora London range comprises the Willow, Gigi and newly launched Ziggy cross-body bags. Each has the signature Aurora London interior – credit card holders, a large zip pocket and a detachable keyring. Every season new colours are added to the range and once sold-out seldom repeated. All Aurora London bags can be personalised with either gold foil embossed or blind-debossed initials.

Price-wise, the bags are definitely affordable, ranging from £69 and with the lovely option available to monogram the bags for an additional cost. 


I have just ordered one of their gorgeous bags so you may see me out and about with it soon! 

You can see the whole range at www.aurora-london.com as well as at @auroralondonstyle
