Olympic Holidays will also be expanding its Island-Hopping portfolio, with some new itineraries twinning Santorini & Milos, Athens & Poros and a multi-island hop combining Mykonos, Paros & Santorini.

My morning routine is how I set myself up for the day. I splash my face with water and will often use Oskia’s Super C Beauty Capsules. I’m a big fan of Augustinus Bader’s The Light Cream and then Merit’s Great Skin Instant Glow Serum, which is very subtle. I’m really into their makeup: they have this Bronze Balm in a stick and blushers that come in little jars that are easy to swipe on. I use RMS UnCoverup Concealer and Supergoop Glowscreen SPF 40. I have an orangy red lipstick from NARS called Heatwave that I’ll wear here and there. I was on a shoot recently and the makeup artist told me about using this Schwarzkopf Styling Gel on your brows — it’s the only thing that actually stays for me. Kure nail varnish has the best range of colors and is the most durable of all the natural products; I like Rose Milk.
At the end of the day, I use a gel cleanser from Oskia called the Renaissance Cleansing Gel. In 10 seconds, you feel like all the muck is off your face. I love using a muslin cloth for a deep cleanse. Eve Lom’s Cleanser was probably the first I ever bought, and my mum uses it. Augustinus Bader has an Ultimate Soothing Cream that I’ll slather on in the winter months when it’s very cold in London. And I always have a tube of Homeoplasmine in my wash bag. It’s great for lips, dry patches of skin and brushing your brows. There’s a Sisley Exfoliating Enzyme Mask that I use on Saturday mornings that you mix in your hand with water. Instantly it perks you up. There’s a brand called Tan-Luxe that makes a gradual tanner that I love for the body, and I put a few of their face drops into my moisturizer at night. I think they make it look like you’ve had more sleep.
My hair is quite low key. I have learned that I need to use a purple conditioner here and there to lessen the brassiness in my blonde hair, so I’m currently using one from Kérastase. I’m a real bath girl, and there’s an Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser that I love; it has the best smell. There’s this brand Verden that does really great bath oils, too. When I was pregnant I discovered the brand Mutha, and I think their Body Butter and Body Oil are the best. It’s the one thing that I feel actually locks in moisture. I’ve worn Comme Des Garcons 2 since I was about 16, but I’ve also started using Ffern scents because the Comme des Garcons is quite heavy. A candle scent that’s forever my favorite is called Cyprès from Diptyque; it’s slightly musky and cozy.
The path to Bovina Farm and Fermentory, which hosts weekly dinner parties in New York’s Western Catskills, is lined with hay-scented ferns. “In the summertime, everything smells like sweet hay. In the fall, the ferns turn bright orange and red, and in the winter, they curl up and are dark brown —

Czech beer, Himalayan cultural festivals and sari shops: how to explore NYC's most diverse borough
The most famous of New York City’s five boroughs is Manhattan. The hippest is Brooklyn. There’s the forgotten one (Staten Island) and the one that tourists only visit to go to a Yankees game (the Bronx). Then there’s the most interesting one: Queens, a borough of two-million-plus people and among the most ethnically diverse swathes of land in North America.
Drinking Burgundy (And Eating More Plants) With Chef Daniel Humm
As Executive Chef and Owner of Eleven Madison Park Chef Daniel Humm has received every accolade possible in the culinary world, from three Michelin stars to being named ‘Best Restaurant in the World.’ But when it came time to reopen after the pandemic he had a much different vision for the kind of cooking he wanted to do. I spoke with Chef Humm about the vision behind his switch to an all plant-based menu, his new book ‘ Eat More Plants ’ and why you better have a few Wimbledon titles under your belt before you barge into his kitchen.
I moved from New York to Denver 6 months ago and made a ton of new friends. But I still feel lonely.
In March, I decided to leave the familiar hustle and bustle of Brooklyn and hit the road in search of my new home. My drive across the country landed me in Denver, where I fell in love with the sun setting over the mountains and the wide-open streets free of mysterious smells and rat corpses.
I left the US to move to Vienna, the world's most livable city. Living here has been delightful and filled with surprises.
In June 2021, I left the US and boarded a plane to Europe to look for a place to call home.
