10 Socially Distant Date Ideas

March 29, 2022 in Dating

If, like me, you started a new relationship after the Corona virus hit then your last few months of dating might have been a little different to previous relationships. Instead of going out to restaurants and seeing movies you’ve probably ended up doing more low-key things and finding ways to have fun together whilst avoiding the risks of crowds. My relationship started during lockdown so we didn’t actually meet in person for almost 3 months! During these 2 months we…

Just because the temperature is dropping, it’s darker and more likely to rain doesn’t mean that you should give up on your outdoor exercise routine in the Autumn. Although it might be tempting to use the weather as an excuse to take a break, with the right kit there really isn’t a reason to stay at home. Keeping dry and comfortable is key especially in the colder weather. One of the easiest mistakes is to wear too much when exercising…

Colombian Milk Chocolate from Rebel Chocolate

Since the start of the year, spurred on by my own weight loss journey, I have been learning more and more about nutrition and specialist diets. In fact, I have just successfully completed a Diploma in Nutrition and Weight loss, so when I heard that there was a company out there making a chocolate with an improved nutritional profile I wanted to learn more. Rebel Chocolate has an ethos; to reject the norm through innovative thinking – maximise the good and…

Mother's Day Bouquet from Prestige Flowers

Have you started planning for Mother’s Day yet? I know it’s still a couple of weeks away but there’s no time like the present to start thinking about treating mum on the 31st March. This year was a big year for my mum as she turned 60 and we organised several special events to celebrate including a family meal out, a trip to Lisbon and an exciting Murder Mystery day on the Belmond British Pullman train.

How to Maintain Meal Planning During the Summer

March 22, 2022 in Food & Drink

Knowing what to do with Christmas leftovers is easy enough. Even if the weather is too grim to go anywhere, you can still separate the turkey and veg into boxes and make something up on the spot, which can help you save money in the kitchen. However, things change when the summer rolls around. Rather than being stuck inside, you’re out, you’re doing things, you’re seeing people and basking in the sunshine. As fun as this is, it also means…

Review: ZeroWater Filter

ZeroWater Filter Jug

For a long time, my husband has been a water filter fanatic. He just loves them. I, on the other hand, have been a bit dubious regarding the actual effectiveness of water filters and have thought of them as merely a way to make tap water more expensive! As I have tried my best to give up sugar over the last year and a half (I was totally addicted to Pepsi Max and drank 2 litres a day!) when I…

Review: Brunch at Natural Kitchen

Natural Kitchen St Katherines Dock

I was recently faced with a bit of a foodie dilemma. I needed to find a London restaurant for brunch which would serve food which would satisfy both my omnivore sister and friend as well as my vegan self. There are lots of vegan places in London which serve up amazing food but finding one which did both was proving difficult until I came across the Natural Kitchen. With several locations around the city, Natural Kitchen is an all-day concept serving…

Build A New Kitchen At An Affordable Cost

March 10, 2022 in Home & Garden

Even before we talk about ordering a new kitchen, it is important to understand the meaning of planning. It is true that you can also buy ready-made kitchens that come in standard sizes, but if you have the option to adapt the kitchen to your personal needs, this is of course preferable. In fact, the more accurately and professionally the kitchen is designed, the better and more convenient the result will be. Do not forget that usually, this kitchen is…
