LUXURIOUS PAMPERING & #SMALLCHANGES WITH OPTIWELL

I’M not a believer in diets or radical changes. There’s too much pressure and too much room to fail and feel bad about yourself, I think. But I am a believer in making little changes, #smallchanges that are doable and can and will make an impact!

A LITTLE TASTE OF MALTA (HERE AT HOME)

ONE of my favourite things to do… When I visit a different country or a far flung land, is to eat. Lots. To eat all the local delicacies, to feast on new dishes, to try out new tasty morsels. Yes folks, I am a foodie. And a rather adventurous one too. So when I was kindly sent a food hamper full of treats as part of Expedia’s World On A Plate

AFTERNOON TEA AT BETTYS WITH MY MUM

I ENJOYED an incredible afternoon tea at Bettys the other week. On a cold yet beautiful winter’s Day, I travelled to the historic city of York with my lovely Mum and we experienced the most delicious champagne afternoon tea, as Bettys‘ guests. Quite frankly, if there’s a finer way to spend a few precious hours with your Mum, well I’d be amazed because this really was quite something. I often talk

One of the things I really enjoy doing over the Christmas period, when I have some time off work, is trying out a

STARTING THE DAY WITH BELVITA

WINTER is here. Or certainly it feels like it, doesn’t it?! The dark nights and the cold mornings. I love this time of year, but like all of us, I struggle to rise from my cosy warm bed when it’s time to get up and face the day. So I was a little thrilled when the thoughtful team at belVita sent me a special hamper to help get my days

GETTING HYDRATED WITH SODASTREAM

DO you drink enough water?! I know I don’t. Or should I say, I didn’t until the lovely people at Sodastream got in touch and asked me to take part in their ‘hydration challenge’ – swapping my endless cups of tea for glasses of sparkling water. When I was a little girl, I longed for a Sodastream as all the ‘cool kids’ at school had one at their homes. But

WHO’S up for learning how to make a new boozy drink this weekend? You are? Brilliant. Let’s get on with the show then.

A SPA BREAK AT THE MIDLAND HOTEL, MANCHESTER

MANCHESTER is my old home city. Any opportunity I get to pay it a visit, well let’s just say, if I can be there, I am there! So imagine my absolute, dance-around-a-room delight, when the good people at Spa Breaks and The Midland Hotel, invited me and a plus one (my big sister) to stay with them for an overnight stay and experience everything they have to offer, including the
