Just before Christmas, I headed to Durham to experience the brand new Revolution Bar located at the end of Framwellgate Bridge in the city centre. 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.

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…

Juggling life is hard sometimes, right? I’ll master this whole adulting thing one day. Amongst my busy schedule, I managed to squeeze…
Oh, look, it’s Coffee O’clock! I do thoroughly enjoy a good cup of coffee every now and again do you? Usually day-to-day, I’m a green tea kinda’ gal but recently, I’ve been craving coffee. Specifically on an afternoon, when the tiredness starts to kick in, y’know. #AdultLife. I’m partial to a fancy coffee from Starbucks when I’m passing…

Sunderland City Centre has been in dire need of a facelift for quite some time. As a ‘Towny’ I’ve been around for the highs and the lows. The city has finally started to open new doors, present new opportunities and really gain its sense of atmosphere back. The Sunderland foodie scene has come on leaps and bounds over…
I think Newcastle has been a bit of late bloomer when it comes to Thai food. To be honest, the whole of the North East has been a bit behind the times when it comes to food innovation and culture. That was until Newcastle City Centre become home to a thriving foodie scene establishing over the last few…
