Harrods’ Rutland Hamper Review

Would you believe that it’s Christmas time again?! ... Well - almost - but let’s face it, as soon as November arrives we’re all singing Mariah Carey at the top of our lungs and dusting the Christmas jumpers off... no? Just me then...

The ultimate guide to buying your first car!

Almost 2 years ago I passed my driving test at the age of 25. It took me a little longer than expected with a total of 3 different driving instructors and 8 years between my first ever lesson and passing, but I finally did it! It’s a great feeling once you pass and you get that little certificate, but what happens after? Well, you’re going to need to get a motor to drive of course!

BBQ Of The Summer with M&S Food

How incredible has this recent warm (okay, boiling!) weather been?! It's crazy to think that just a few months ago we had some seriously bad snow...!

Dinner at The Captain's Wife | Sully

After living in Penarth for a few years, I’ve paid numerous visits to The Captain’s Wife in Sully as it’s a great pub with a beautiful view! What’s not to like!

Brushbox in a Nutshell

No matter who you are, I'm sure (or hope) that something you do on a daily basis is brush your teeth! Having clean and healthy teeth is not only important to keep gum disease and plaque at bay, but teeth hygiene also impacts your general health.  Did you know that brushing your teeth regularly can help you avoid heart disease?! Well it can, so when Brushbox emailed me to see if I'd be interested in trying out what they offer I jumped at the chance!

Admiral - St David's Hotel Cardiff Bay

I recently visited the new restaurant in St David's Hotel, Admiral, to sample their menu and see how they've refreshed the restaurant (previously Tempus at Tides). Admiral has brought something new to this 5 star hotel, situated on the waterfront and overlooking the breathtaking views of Cardiff Bay. The new bar and restaurant uses fresh Welsh produce while creating Australian inspired dishes to take your tastebuds on an adventure of their own.

Drayton Manor Review

I visited Drayton Manor theme park with work (Lumix UK) for a team building and training day, in which we were put in their hotel for an overnight stay and then had a few hours at the park. As I grew up in Worcestershire this is the theme park I used to visit with school so I was interested to see how much it had changed.

City Cruises Afternoon Tea Review & Traverse Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for just over 2 years and so I'm always behind the camera trying to capture things, but on Wednesday I decided to mix things up a bit and film my day to London to show you what we get up to, which includes a visit to Smollesky's and a ride on City Cruises!

3 New Updates at McDonalds!

While I will always support independents and locally run restaurants, McDonalds is admittedly a guilty pleasure of mine. Mainly because it's so quick, affordable and you always know what you're going to get (although sometimes they do forget the fries with my meal...) so when McDonalds invited me to see the new changes they've put into place I was down.
