Life is better when you live it in full flavour…recipes, reviews, foodie finds, and making time for family and myself
Living in Birmingham has plenty of benefits, but I definitely like to venture out to our surrounding counties when I can.

Life is inherently busy for a lot of us. Between working, commuting, family commitments, housework, daily chores, and everything in between, it’s hard to find time for ourselves. I have certainly found that since having my daughter, time just seems to escape me! But one thing that I still try to make sure I do…

I am very excited to have been invited by Sarah to be a guest blogger and also honoured to have her fantastic writing on my blog. To get started I thought I’d tell you a little bit about me; I am a self-confessed bargain hunter. I believe that you can look and feel good without…
I’m a bit of a coffee fiend at the moment, especially to keep me going when we’ve had a few sleepless nights with the little lady! When I discovered that one of my favourite foodie brands, The Black Farmer, was launching a new coffee range, I was really keen to give it a try. I…

Before having my daughter, I loved lie-ins at the weekend, and days when I didn't have to set an alarm clock. Of course all of that changes when you become a parent, and while I wouldn't want it any other way, the missing hours of zeds certainly start to stack up. And there are many…
It’s not very often that I treat myself to luxury beauty products or have a bit of me time, so when I got an invite to a recent event which offered both, I was delighted. The event, held at the refined Hotel Du Vin in Birmingham, was to introduce us to Eden Tree Women -…

If you’ve ever had the pleasure/misfortune* (*delete as you see fit) of working away from home for a large event such as a Conference, you’ll probably understand my next point a little too well. Essentially you see the inside of the conference venue and your hotel room before you peel yourself out of your shoes…

The White Swan in Edgbaston is a very well-renowned establishment in these leafy suburbs of Birmingham. I've spent many a happy hour there either having a drink or two, or dining with friends and family. I last went there in the summer before my daughter had started solids - since then, we tend to stick…
