A NEW ‘DO’ THANKS TO MATRIX HAIRCARE (BECAUSE I’M WORTH IT RIGHT?!)

A FEW weeks ago, I had the absolute privilege of having my hair cut by one of the UK’s top hairdressers… The very lovely and amusing Alexander Turnbull who’s won numerous British hairdressing awards including North Eastern Hairdresser of The Year and British Best Newcomer Of The Year. I was invited by Matrix Haircare (part of the L’Oreal group) to have my hair cut, pampered and styled by Alexander using their

CIAO, I’M OFF TO ITALY!

SADLY, I’m not moving there. But it’s totally true. Tomorrow I’m jetting off to Italy with my family to stay in the stunning Italian Lakes, courtesy of Bookings For You. We’ll be staying at Lake Maggiore, far North of the country and just five miles from the Swiss border, and I’ll be reviewing this beautiful family villa which boosts lake views, private terraces and stunning contemporary decor. *does a dance

PUT THE SPARK BACK IN YOUR LOVE LIFE – WITH TRAVEL

YOU know what’s it’s like. At the beginning of any relationship, you just can’t get enough of each other. You’re mad for each other. Crazy and full of non stop passion. But eventually life takes over. (It has to) And careers and deadlines and children and houses, and everything else, takes all of your attention. Our love lives can often be put unintentionally on the ol’ back burner as we

QUIRKY HOLIDAY PLACES I’D LOVE TO VISIT IN THE UK

Certainly if I had my way, I would travel every single week to a different destination if I could. But when you think about travel, how much do you think about staying in the UK? Because although whilst it’s true, we may not have the best weather in

MONK BRETTON PRIORY (EXPLORING & FINDING TREASURES)

AFTER a week of being housebound with germs, getting outside at the weekend was a must. A chance to blow off some cobwebs. A chance to visit somewhere we’ve never been. (Even though it’s practically right on our doorstep.) After a relaxing Saturday morning watching films (and crying at the beginning of UP!) we ventured out to Monk Bretton Priory – a ruined medieval priory, less than 10 mins away

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

PARADISE ON A GREEK ISLAND: OUR HOLIDAY IN KEFALONIA

BEFORE our plane had even landed in Kefalonia, I had already fallen a little in love with the island. As we came into land, we flew over the most beautiful beaches and turquoise seas, pretty little villages scattered across the hills, all lit up by the most glorious sunshine. And so I knew, before my eager feet had even touched the hot tarmac, that I had found a Greek paradise.
