I guess things escalated…

I guess things escalated…

Oh hey! It's been a while. So, if you've been following me on Instagram; you'll already know that my baby boy arrived, early. Super early. Rex decided it was time to party at 28 weeks + 4 days. It was unexpected, and we've had a tough old road to navigate, ever since. However, he is [...]

So this post is going to be ridiculously long-winded, because I like to waffle, and I pour all my feelings out. All of them. Therefore, I've decided to split this topic into a couple, a few, or maybe more (lucky you) posts so that they don't take up too much of your time.  I have [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A Dreamy Date Night In Don Diego

Snuggled into a little row of shops in Edgbaston, opposite the White Swan Pub, sits Don Diego; a restaurant run by two brothers, serving up fresh homestyle food full of Mediterranean flavour. I visited on a Saturday night with my husband Marv; we were lucky enough to share a table and have a double date [...]

Bloody love tapas I do; an array of plates filled with different edibles? Yes please! And, I'm totally getting better at this "sharing" thing, and my instinct to shoo other hands away with the prongs of my fork is beginning to subside. So, when I was asked if I wanted to try the tapas menu [...]

Anxiety No.02: A Week In My Head

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 [...]

profile picture with Rex

Hello and welcome to Hey Its Fay; a blog written by a proud Brummie, autoimmune disease expert, and passionate Christmas enthusiast. I’m a content writer by day, and I consume pasta most nights. This is the place where I’ll be sharing my thoughts, challenges, and highlights from my life, so that I can stay creative.

I live in Birmingham, UK (or Brum), and I adore this city. I get super excited about it’s ever-growing independent scene.  I have a toddler called Rex and he often accompanies me on breakfast, brunch and lunch dates; I tend to save nights out and evening meals in the city, for friends, fam, and my lucky husband. I’m here to share what we’ve all enjoyed so that you can too.

I’m a qualified hypnotherapist and love nothing more than helping others to discover how they can chill out, regularly. Mental health is health, so I’ll be sharing things that people may find helpful too…

Peace, love, and caffeine, Fay x

If you’re planning on a trip to St David’s - it’s worth checking out @stdavidsescapes for your accommodation! We stayed for 3 nights in their Skylarks apartment, and it was gorgeous. Really thoughtfully designed, and filled with everything you could want and need. (I can’t take credit for finding this - my mom found and booked everything). Also, the bed was so comfortable- it’s my biggest concern when staying somewhere 😂☺️

Just a @the_deli_in appreciation post! I’m there all the time and we never have a bad experience..great food/drinks + the friendliest service are just part and parcel of what they offer. It’s such a great breakfast/lunch/brunch place - and, if you’re always praying somewhere does a great coffee, when the menu looks good, you won’t be disappointed ☺️
@chapterbham was such a treat on Friday. We had a lot of happy hour cocktails, then I enjoyed the goats cheese starter, the best sea bass I’ve ever eaten for main, and finished strong with a Mille-feuille…all so tasty. Fresh, springy, relaxed, yum x
The best medicine…I enjoyed a little kid-free brunch date on Sunday. We decided to head into town, mainly so my lovely husband could help me with my previous Wes Anderson vid 😆 however, we always know we’ll get good food when there, along with great coffee. After lots of walking around, we decided to head to @medicinebakery - we know the food will always be good, atmosphere relaxed, service super friendly, and there’ll be something baked to take home, and the coffee has always been great for me too. Perfect.
Car pizzas from @smokeandashpizzeria were just what we needed! (Not sold as *car* pizzas, we just ate them in…you get the jist).
