February Favourites
So with February drawing to a close…it’s time to share all the products I’ve been enjoying during this very short month! I’ve been mainly enjoying food products but also have a couple of beauty products thrown in too! At the start of February I was craving chocolate covered pretzels! Could I find any to kill […]
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
Pumpkin Spice Latte’s seem to have vanished quicker than they appeared at Starbucks! Same goes for Halloween (my Favourite Autumn Holiday!!) I want to embrace Christmas but I don’t think I’ve quite let go of Halloween yet or the vibrant orange pumpkins that go with it! As much as I love Christmas with all the […]

Smart Cookies – Nerdy Nummies
This week I’m busy baking a cake order, but in between the baking, I’ve had a bit of time to have a proper read of Rosanna Pansino’s first cookbook – Nerdy Nummies. I only recently discovered Ro’s work thanks to one of my good friends; Naomi, who said I should check out her YouTube channel. […]
A Day out in London
Today I enjoyed a lovely day out with some of my family in London. We visited Spitalfields for a spot of shopping & lunch. If you’ve never visited Spitalfields, I highly recommend it, it has a mixture of quirky shops and a massive market which changes throughout the week. Tuesdays tend to be one of […]
Coconut Macaroons
Inspired by a recent visit to a London sandwich and cake shop; I really wanted to make some coconut macaroons dipped in dark chocolate. These are really easy to make and this recipe makes 20 little bite-size delights that goes perfectly with a nice cup of tea. You will need the following ingredients: 350g/14 oz […]
