Let’s Taco ’bout Los Banditos: A Birthday Treat

After only hearing good things about Los Banditos in Sutton Coldfield (my hometown, and where my parents and many of my friends live); I thought I'd book a table for my friends and I on a Friday night, to kick off a weekend of birthday celebrations. Why have one birthday shindig, when you can have [...]

Girls’ Night At Aluna (the most fun I’d had all week)

Last week I was invited to attend an event in Aluna; a plush canal-side bar and restaurant. I'd never been before and was excited to see what the venue was like. If I venture outside of the JQ, I tend to head towards The Mailbox and the surrounding canal areas, as I find them pretty [...]

Truffle Shufflin’ At Tom’s Kitchen

I've had a little break from blogging; mainly because I managed to catch whatever has been in the Birmingham air (eww) a couple of weeks ago now. Autoimmune conditions don't take kindly to any sort of virus or infection, so my blood sugars have been everywhere, and I have also developed a Sudafed dependency. Wow, [...]

A Keen Bean Visits Kanteen (*spoiler: that bean was me)…

I first headed to the freshly opened Kanteen to meet up with Laura from Bite Your Brum to discuss food (mainly cheese), and grab a coffee. By the time we had decided to meet up; I'd already eaten my breakfast/brunch at Saint Kitchen, so I was too full up to sample their food. Laura hadn't [...]

Friday Night Fish At The Pig & Tail

Last Friday, after going for lunch at Saint Paul's House; I thought that I should really cook, save money, and use up what was in my fridge. However, my husband returned home with all the Friday feelings, asked if I wanted to go out for dinner, and I immediately said yes (no food-related willpower whatsoever). [...]

profile picture with Rex

I’m Fay; a writer + illustrator from Birmingham, who currently resides in Bristol. I’m also a mom (that’s how we say it in Brum) of a 28-weeker, called Rex. We spent 10 weeks in NICU, and I’ve plenty to share about being a preemie mama. I write other people’s content for a living, so I felt like giving myself an outlet where I could discuss my own shiz.

I’m a pescatarian, cruelty-free skincare addict, with Type 1 diabetes and Graves’ disease. These do not limit what I can enjoy; they only affect the thought process beforehand.

Stick around if you fancy reading about my experience with motherhood, food + coffee, mental + physical health challenges, and what’s happening in my life. I also film YouTube videos and take plenty of pictures. I’ll try not to waffle on at you (I realise I have failed already. Mmm waffles).

I love a bunny emoji, peace x
