As our Trek America trip is just over two weeks away, the stress has begun to set in. I am writing list after list after list of what I need to do, but it seems that I haven’t got much further than that list writing! We’ve saved up all our spending money, we’ve planned, loosely, what we’d like to do each day, and I’ve even…

This venue is now closed. We all know that I love a good brunch, and when it’s something I’ve not tried before I love it even more! After a lovely morning stroll around Portobello Road Market, we headed to Peyotito just a few mins walk away. The restaurant is at 31 Kensington Park Road which is literally a road away from the market. We had worked…

Hi, my name’s Haydy and I have an addiction to buying homeware. Phew, now that’s out in open air I can share with you the recent bits and bobs I’ve picked up as there’s a fair amount of it! First up are these rather cute cushion covers for the living room. Our colour scheme is flashes of teal in a grey room so this will…

When it comes to baking, I always try my best but that doesn’t usually mean it’s going to turn out any good. I have had had so many kitchen disasters, in fact, only this weekend I tried to make Slimming World Chocolate Mug Puddings and after 3 tries I just had a chocolate biscuit from the cupboard, it was less syns anyways! So when Hobbycraft asked…

I am so for trying out new food and drink, especially when it’s in Essex. I’m such an advocate for the area and I love to see new faces bringing fresh flavours and ideas to the table, literally. One of those is Andi Walker, semi-final contestant from Masterchef and his taster menu at The Riverside Inn in Chelmsford. It’s just a short walk from the…

Over 10 years ago I got my first car, in fact I was so excited I can tell you the exact date; July 7th 2007. It was a total surprise, my dad wasn’t home from work when I got back from School Sports Day, so I just thought he was working late to get a job done. When he did get home I went downstairs…

It’s been a long time coming. I’ve just not had the guts to get the rest of my hair bleached. I’ve been worried about the upkeep of my roots. I was worried about having to maintain the colour. But then I thought if I don’t suck it up and do it now, when am I going to?! It was quite a quick process with a…

It’s hard to believe that anyone could grow tired of dining out, yet every now and again, date-night dining can grow a little samey. Setting aside time to spend as a couple can be tricky given our hectic schedules, and you’ll naturally want your date nights to be as enjoyable as possible. Sometimes, you need to think outside of the box. Of course, there is…
