Hi everyone Welcome to the Easter edition of Lisa Loves whatever you are up to over the bank holiday weekend I hope you have wonderful time. ❤ Lisa
Chocolate treatsAs it's Easter I thought I would share with you my favourite places of chocolate heaven. Charbonnel et WalkerNestled inside the Royal Arcade Mayfair lies one of Britains oldest chocolatiers and with such fabulous truffles like my favourite the Pink Marc De Champagne they are still one of the best. Artisan du ChocolatGrown from a stall in Borough Market to branches on Lower Sloane Street and Notting Hill, Artisan du Chocolat is very much the understated brand in the British Chocolate making revival. Try the No1 Salted Caramel, their original and still the best, I say if it's good enough for Claridges.. They are also the creators of the fabulous Nutricoa, which you can read more about in my Notebook over on the website .
RoccocoTaking the art of chocolate making and mixing it with a rebellious punk style with a nod towards the 18th century artistic movement. Various locations across London including the original shop on the Kings Road and one dangerously close around the corner on Motcombe Street means your never far away from a treat. Try one of their Beautiful Baroque chocolate bars in either Violet, Rose, Earl Grey, or Almond and Rosemary Sea Salt to add some Easter intrigue

The Design MuseumBank holiday's are a great time to visit a Museum or Gallery. Try the Design Museum which has moved to it's new home in the re-modelled and overhauled Commonwealth Institute on Kensington High Street. Even the building itself optimises design and gives you the sense that this place is as much about design ideas as any specific object.

A Closer LookOur Award Winning Product Diamond Powder Photo luminescent diamond powder when delivered to the skin, it’s particles manipulate incident light by converting invisible UV light to blue light (photoluminescence) and selectively scattering the favourable blue light. The particles settle in the wrinkles on our skin and subtly illuminate a blue glow that decreases their appearance. This leads to youthful looking skin as the appearance of shadows, wrinkles, pigmentation and discolouration are diminished.
Thrive with Passion, Compassion, Humour and some Style

RecipeGreek Salad With the weather warming up and the nights becoming lighter our thoughts turn to Alfresco dining and there is nothing more perfect than a Greek Salad to compliment Kebabs or fish from the BBQ or simply on it's own with some crusty bread for a light perfect sunny meal.

Susie Worthy My Friend, Client and Inspiration Susie recently passed peacefully after a short yet unexpected illness. I wanted to share this with you because Susie was such an inspirational Woman both in my Life and in Business, where she pioneered a truly British experience for overseas visitors through her award winning company Noteworthy. Susie had such an infectious personality full of effortless grace and charm which left a mark on those that had the very good fortune of meeting her. Farewell my friend I will miss you dearly.
