Keeping cool with Nescafé Azera Nitro

October 20, 2022 in Food & Drink

We are true coffee aficionados in my family. My parents, my sister and I all have a fancy bean to cup coffee machine in our kitchens poised to produce a top-notch quality shot for hot or cold drinks at the press of a button. We even joke that anyone who wants to use our machines has to have undergone Burrista training (our family name is Burr). Although a bean to cup machine is great for producing a good coffee it’s not…

Review: Connoisseur Glass Tea Brewer And Decanter

October 14, 2022 in Food & Drink, Reviews

In the last couple of weeks, I have really been getting into tea as an alternative to unhealthy drinks and I have been trying out all sorts of different teas and teaware. Today I want to tell you a little bit about the Connoisseur Glass Tea Brewer and Decanter which has totally changed the way that I brew my tea! The Connoisseur Tea Brewer is an elegant bit of kit which allows you to brew and strain the perfect loose leaf tea…

3 things I couldn’t live without

October 11, 2022 in Crafts, Lifestyle

There are some things in life that just make life worth living and when I reflect upon the 3 things that I couldn’t live without there are a few clear things that beat out the competition. As someone who has recently given up a bunch of diet-related things that other people might say they can’t live without (flour, sugar, all animal products), I wanted to share with you today the things that I just simply couldn’t give up! Animals I…

Review: Dobell Men’s Linen Shirts

October 9, 2022 in Fashion, Reviews

Ever since I have known him, my husband has been very particular about his clothing from keeping his shoes shiny to choosing the right fit for his trousers and shirts. Although you will find Vlad bumming around the house in shorts and a t-shirt whenever he leaves the house to go to work or meet with friends he usually dresses up a little to make a good impression. Luckily, just as the heat arrived in the UK Vlad was offered…

Let it Be at The Orchard Dartford

October 7, 2022 in Lifestyle

Last night I was lucky enough to attend the opening night of the new UK and Ireland Tour of the Beatles inspired show Let it Be at The Orchard Theatre, Dartford. Quite simply, it was amazing! The smash hit West End show Let It Be is a celebration of the music of The Beatles is back with a brand new show which includes hits from the Fab Four’s incredible back catalogue of iconic songs as well as a second-half full…

Review: SAS Business Box

October 7, 2022 in Reviews

I was pretty scared when I changed from a 9-5 office worker commuting into London every day to a working from home freelance consultant. I knew nothing about starting up and running my own business, registering as a sole trader, doing my own taxes, sending out invoices and making sure I got paid for my work! Luckily, my parents have their own business and I was able to get plenty of advice and support from them when it came to getting…

5 Dull But Necessary Forms Of Self Care

October 6, 2022 in Health

Self-care is the ultimate buzzword of 2019. And rightly so, because how can we care for another if we can’t care for ourselves? But the term is often thought of as a way of rewarding ourselves, a luxury that we earn rather than a necessity we require to maintain our wellbeing. Our imaginations conjure up images of unwinding in a candlelit bubble bath with a good book or a makeup-free duvet day of movie marathons & comfort food, but self…

Review: Bill’s Vegan Menu

October 2, 2022 in Lifestyle, Reviews

I know this is a little late for a Veganary post but I recently had the chance to try out the new Vegan menu from Bill’s Restaurant in Canterbury that they launched especially for the occasion. If you didn’t know, I became a Vegan for Veganuary 2018 and have continued it on for over a year now. It is always exciting when a restaurant launches a new vegan dish or menu so I was excited to try out the one…

Why I re-branded my blog

September 28, 2022 in Lifestyle

You might have noticed that I recently re-branded my blog to Life in Lilac after nearly 6 years of being called Stylish London Living. I decided that it was time for a change. You may well be wondering what on earth persuaded me to make this change after such a long time and you’re right in thinking that there are many cons to doing this (as a digital marketeer I know these cons more than most!) so I wanted to…
