BLOGMAS day 2: Tea-sons greetings!

I thoroughly enjoy a good pun! Gotta be honest though, this one was borrowed from the good folks at Bluebird Tea co. who this post is mostly centred on. I was introduced to the brand last year during #blogmas so it seemed pretty appropriate to include them! Candle, B&M (I highly recommend them for amazing smells at great value.… Continue reading BLOGMAS day 2: Tea-sons greetings!

TRAVEL DIARIES/ Benidorm uncovered – why it can be a great place to visit.

That's right, you read the title of this post correctly - however you won't be reading about drunken antics, lairy behaviour or any other cliches you may have seen/heard! I've only ever seen one blog post about Benidorm which, coincidentally, was as I was getting ready to write this one.

New York is home of some of the best food, so there was definitely some searching to be done.  Having visited before I already had some favourites I was keen to visit,… Continue reading TRAVEL DIARIES & FOOD/ An English gal in New York…where to eat

TRAVEL DIARIES/ An English gal in New York…Where to stay

 (Image credit: Tastecard) Last weekend I hit up the Great British Food Festival with Tastecard* as it reached the Castle Howard leg of its UK tour. Weirdly, as much as I enjoy food I've never been to a large scale food festival before! Armed with comfy clothes, sensible shoes and a massive bag for all the goodies I was sure we'd… Continue reading FOOD/ Great British Food Festival (2017)
