Five Things you Didn’t know about Birmingham *

When it comes to Birmingham there is so much there to see and do. I recently spent a day there to meet up with a friend and just loved the area and all it has to offer.

Date Night with Tank & Paddle, Bishopsgate *

Healthy Snacking with Livia’s Kitchen *

I’ve been on Slimming World for just under a month and I’m now just over half a stone down. It’s not as much as I had wanted but I’ve lots of events and a holiday thrown into that so I’m dead chuffed that I did lose that amount.
