Oh, summer, you’ve graced us finally and the only sensible thing to do now, every weekend, is to sit in the sun with a refreshing beverage and hydrate… right?! Gin is good for us after all, isn’t it? A few Saturdays ago, I was kindly invited down The Botanist Newcastle for an afternoon of gin and nibbles all…
Well hello, it’s been a while. It’s been a busy six months for me of which I won’t bore you with as I usually do, but… I’m back. And, I’m back with a bang. Last week, I was kindly invited to a very special evening at Seaham Hall, the five-star boutique hotel overlooking the Durham Heritage Coast. If…
Rockliffe Hall, the five-star luxury golf and spa hotel situated in the idyllic village of Hurworth, on the edge of County Durham, hosted an eight-day long Festival Of Food last week and I was kindly invited along to one of their key events, the Taste of the North East Banquet. The aim of the banquet was to celebrate…
Yes, I went back again. But for good reason, PizzaStorm has an amazing new menu which I just had to try, especially for you guys in case you fancied a visit!

Durham is an idyllic city, home to the legendary Romanesque Durham Cathedral and the Norman Durham Castle. I love popping into the city because it is just so picturesque and holds so much…
I’m a big snacker. I can eat the most wholesome healthy meals of all, but my downfall is definitely my 3 pm snacking habit. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to stay good with it being Christmas too! I am always on the hunt for diet-friendly snacks and chocolate bar alternatives so when Popcorn Shed got in touch and asked…
Around about 16 weeks ago, I decided to sign up to an exercise and nutrition programme, and it’s probably been one of the best decisions I’ve made all year. I’m happier, healthier and 18lbs down! 16 weeks ago I felt defeated. I felt fed up. My self-esteem was at an all-time low and I couldn’t bear to look…
Grabbing a slice of Newcastle thriving foodie scene, Pizza Punks is the latest joint to arrive in toon. Located on Grey Street in the former Cafe Rouge site the team has ploughed £400,000 into creating a unique new look for the eatery. Being the food enthusiast that I am, I’d caught wind of the opening and was kindly…
The carnival has arrived in Newcastle, all thanks to Revolution De Cuba. Newcastle is such an upping coming, thriving city yet I take it for granted living so close to it. There are so many nooks and crannies that I’m yet to discover. I often learn things about the city from tourists which is shocking considering it’s 20…
