I have done a fair few spa stays in my time, but none of them quite prepared me for my press trip to Karlovy Vary to stay at the very lush Hotel President. I’d always just stayed at a spa, had a meal and a massage then left, but this isn’t what Hotel Prezident is about. Hotel Prezident was created with a single goal in mind and…

I was recently lucky enough to be asked on a fantastic press trip to Karlovy Vary. For those of you that haven’t heard of it before, don’t worry, most people haven’t! Karlovy Vary, also know as Carlsbad, is a spa town situated in western Bohemia in the Czech Republic. It is historically famous for its hot springs as there are 13 main springs around town and around…

I don’t think I know anyone that wouldn’t be happy receiving a foodie hamper for Christmas, after all, if there’s a time to overindulge, then this is it! I know you can buy hampers from every supermarket and posh department store but I much prefer to make them up myself so they are tailored to what that person really likes.

Last times I was up in Leeds in July, I paid a little visit to the Trinity Centre’s Trinity Kitchen to try out some of the goodies from The Luxury Diner who are actually the team behind Slap & Pickle.

I do always make a return trip to Pieminister as I love their food as it’s great value for money and their Christmas Menu definitely shows that! I recently visited with two of my favourite ladies and…

Who doesn’t dream of a luxurious vacation in Greece? But planning a trip can be exhausting. Most people feel they have a lot on their plate. From booking flights to making reservations, the whole itinerary can be somewhat overwhelming. It doesn’t matter whether they want to take their partner on a rare retreat from work and stress or are planning a family holiday. However, there…

At this time of year, I find myself racking my brains to find good gifts for the people I need to. I’m always one for trying to think out of the box and buy gifts that are a little bit quirky so I’ve rounded up a few of the ideas I’ve had for the lovely ladies in my life! The Tea Lover I don’t think…

The man in my life is a very classic gentleman, he likes the finer things in life but hares it when people, especially myself, go overboard on gifts! I do like to treat him though as I think he thoroughly deserves it; he works mega hard, he follows me around with a camera and lets me live in his flat. I didn’t wanna get him a…
