Best Things to Do in Amsterdam Noord on a Budget

On my most recent trip abroad, I headed to Amsterdam with Clink to stay in their ClinkNoord Hostel. As I had never even heard of Noord before despite this being my third visit to Dam I was super excited to get out with the team and explore! We had a fun packed day, walked over 25,000 steps and saw some great sites so here’s my…

Staying at ClinkNoord, Amsterdam *

I’ve never been one of those travellers that can hostel hop or do hotels on a budget; that was until I learnt about Clink Hostels and they are gradually changing my mind! They are a super fun brand with 3 hostels to their name, currently. Two of them are in London; I stayed in one back in 2015 and it was a converted courthouse (where Punk band The…

Top Tips for Easy Car Care *

When it comes to cars, we all know how much I love them. I so miss having a car of my own, but financially it makes so much more sense for Mike and I to continue to share as we don’t use it much. We often discuss the next type of car we’re going to get once we’ve bought our house, so for now, dreaming…

Can what you Eat Help your Eye Sight? *

 Since having my eyes lasered back in January 2016, I’ve been really careful with my eyes. I wear sunglasses as soon as there is the slightest glimmer of sunlight, I use the night shift setting on my phone from 9pm, and I try to limit my computer use outside of work but I had no idea that eating certain foods can help prevent damage to your…

Taking Yoox to America! *

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…

Brunching with Peyotito, Notting Hill *

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…

Recent Homewares Haul *

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…
