I was lucky enough to be invited to a festive photography masterclass back in November, with Viking. Heading into Dirty Martini in the city centre meant that I was already feeling the Christmas spirit, especially as the German Market had been set-up. Walking up the stairs in the venue, I spotted tables filled with crackers [...]
So, I was invited to an evening of whiskey (which can also be spelt whisky! I know, who knew? Well, Vicky did actually) tasting. I'm not drinking. "Don't worry! There'll be food, and some of the best company in Brum". I'm there. What food though? Where is it? Can I smell the whiskies instead? It's [...]
I have lived just off St Paul's Square in the JQ for over 4 years now, and there has been a friend on the square, with whom I've become very attached. Saint Kitchen has had a couple of makeovers since I arrived in the area, and has got better and better each year. It now [...]
So I thought I'd do an update on here (I almost said "super-quick update" but, lol) as it's been a while. Life is currently a bit overwhelming, so I kinda feel like I'm out of breath as I write this (imagine I'm on the phone, walking up a hill, but, the motivation of there being [...]
So, I thought I’d document what I consider to be a bad week regarding my anxiety. It was actually a recent week, and it’s fresh in my mind, so I feel like you’ll get a thorough account of my thought process, behaviour, and coping mechanisms. I know that I said in my previous anxiety post [...]
I thought I'd do my first recipe post today; it's a super simple pancake recipe that I love (perfect for weekend breakfast/brunch/hangovers etc). These are pancakes that I cook a lot; however, I thought I'd add some of my matcha green tea powder to see what the results were like. The results were yum. Green. [...]
One of my favourite things to do (apart from eating stuff and being alive every Christmas) is to look at people's interior spaces. All the nooks and shelves fascinate me; how people display their sentimental stuff alongside the bits that gather over time, like change, receipts, and post. I'm pretty curious, actually I'm basically nosy, [...]
This week I had an exciting invite to go and see what the shiny new Canal House (and James Brindley's old residence no less) had to offer us brummies and all those who visit our fine city. The night started with a canal boat; my husband and I watched our heads as we ventured onboard [...]
The High Field in Edgbaston has long been a food and drinks favourite of mine. I've never had a bad meal there, or suffered any bad service; actually, the service is lovely and one of the many reasons I keep returning. I've celebrated my wedding anniversary there (along with a stay in The High Field [...]
After rushing around all morning; moving tiles and porcelain bunnies, I think I'm ready for my first skincare review, so here goes... I only heard about the Mario Badescu brand this year. I'm an influencer's dream and it doesn't take much for me to be persuaded to buy something; however, if I'm not feeling a [...]
