Now Spring is truly here, there is nothing better than a lazy Sunday enjoying brunch in the sunshine, so I couldn’t wait to try out Brighton’s newest brunch spot Baker and Spice. Located just off East Street in the heart of the South Laines, Baker & Spice is the perfect pit stop before a mooch around

DIY PROJECTS: New Bathroom Update
So, you might remember from a few months ago, our whole house was turned upside down as we had a new bathroom fitted. This was a big BIG job that involved pulling down a wall, totally moving our back door and we also went without running water for a couple of weeks, which a horrific

A Mexican Feast at Wahaca Brighton
I have been banging on about how much I love Wahaca since I discovered the chain in about 2010. Back then all the restaurants were in London, so I’d plan days out to visit museums and concerts at the o2, always sneakily incorportating a little trip to Wahaca in the process. In fact now I

My favourite podcasts of 2016 (so far!)
My drive to work every day is an hour each way, so I get tired of listening to music or the radio. I often get stuck in traffic and find myself getting more and more tense as the traffic builds, so a friend of mine suggested I listened to Podcasts to take my mind of things

Eau Thermale Avène – Cleansing Foam

Why I’m loving Snapchat as a blogger
When my friends encouraged me to download Snapchat, at first I was hesitant. Immediately, I just thought it was for kids – I said I’m sure there won’t be anyone over 30 on there and I’m going to feel like a right Grandma. Also, don’t people just use it to send each other naked pictures? I

Race Day Styling
I absolutely love a day at the races and I have to say, I haven’t got a clue when it comes to horse racing. For me, it’s the whole package that makes it such a fun day out. It’s the chance to get dressed up, the glitz, the glamour and of course, who wouldn’t love a

Rottingdean Photography Walk with the Puppy
Yesterday I woke up strangely early for a weekend. With V already at work, I decided to sling on a pair of jeans, my sunnies and go for a photography walk around where I live, to give my new camera, the Olympus PEN E-PL7 a little spin. I often post photos of my favourite spots – the
