REVIEW / TURTLE BAY SHEFFIELD

On Saturday I tried some new cuisine. Or to be more accurate, the four of us did, even little Leo! We were kindly invited along to the new Turtle Bay restaurant in Sheffield to try out their menu as a family and to say we enjoyed every minute is probably an understatement. We absolutely loved it. The new Carribbean restaurant and bar is set right bang in the heart of

How To Transition Your Wardrobe From Summer To Autumn

Right now, summer has barely set in. But as the end of June passes and July begins, fashion changes. Have you ever noticed that all of the good summer stuff seems to be in the sales, and so many more autumnal hues are hitting the shelves? At this time of the year, as retail enters into Q3, we see the pre-fall or autumn looks coming out. Expect lots of summer

AN UPDATE & A LITTLE APOLOGY

Remember me?! Ah, I’m so sorry folks. I’ve really neglected this blog and you guys recently. What can I say, life has been busy and as Leo has grown from a beautiful baby into a terrific (and occasionally testy!) toddler, the days have whizzed by so quickly, I’ve barely had the chance to even sit down and think about blogging, let alone actually blog. Plus, I have a book to

REVIEW / WEARING COLOUR WITH KETTLEWELL

It’s hard to believe I once used to wear so much black and grey. Or indeed that my wardrobe, colour wise, was so dull and dare I say it, but perhaps more than a little boring. It’s been five months now since my great colour epiphany and hand on heart, I can honestly say that embracing colour and wearing the right colours for me, has made such a huge difference

SPRUCING UP THE GARDEN

I’m far from being a green fingered gardening goddess, but one thing I do absolutely love is being out in the garden when the sun is shining. I think most of us are the same aren’t we? There’s just something about being outside and watching the kids play outside too which really warms my cockles! I’ve realised just how good it is for my soul and so because we don’t get

REVIEW / SELF TANNING MADE EASY WITH ST TROPEZ

When it comes to pale skin, mine is up there with the best of them and mostly I’m absolutely fine with that. (You know what I’m going to say right? It’s so important to love the skin that you’re in.) But when the days start to get a lot warmer and the sun begins to shine, I do like to add just a hint of colour to my freckled English

SOCIAL MEDIA IS GIVING ME MAJOR ‘FOMO’ (& I DON’T LIKE IT)

FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out. Sound familiar? I’m having a real love / hate relationship with social media at the moment and have done for a while. On the one hand, there are moments when I absolutely adore it. I’ve met some wonderful people through my channels, been inspired, found fantastic reads, watched things that have made me howl with laughter and gained new friends. But with the good bits,

REVIEW / SHREK THE MUSICAL AT SHEFFIELD LYCEUM

A few weeks ago on a cold and wet Thursday afternoon, I watched my daughter’s face fill with utter joy as she watched a green ogre dance and sing on a stage in Sheffield. It was pure parenting magic. If I’m being completely honest, I can’t say I’m the world’s greatest fan when it comes to musicals. I’ve seen a few throughout my life and always enjoyed them, but if
