Wedding Planning: The Venues.

When starting the process of wedding planning, the first major thing I wanted to think about was the venues. We are not religious, so we didn't want a big church wedding and thus the hunt for an alternative venue ensued. The first idea was to have a barn or country style manor house set in the rolling hills of Yorkshire which was a great idea to start with, however the more places I saw online...

3 Disappointing moments from the Harry Potter series.

Last weekend Nick and I finally finished watching the Harry Potter series and as much as I friggin love it, there are some major things that disappoint me. As a point of reference Nick hadn't read all of the books or seen all of the films so we decided to watch through them all together.  I guess I should put a spoiler warning here, but if you haven't watched Harry Potter by now you need...

Nourish Spring Menu Event, Sheffield.

Last week I was invited along to an independent food place in Sheffield called Nourish. This is a super healthy restaurant that I've popped into before and I couldn't wait to taste their new spring menu! Before I delve into the tasty stuff, I want to talk a little about how inspiring I found this event. David the owner spoke a little about the company and his aims after we tasted the food...

My Week in Instagram.

I've been really getting into my Instragram recently and as I've been to some interesting places over the past week, I thought I'd do a little re-cap in Instragram form! I'm going to talk about about the images like you were reading a book, which is how the layout works on Instrgram. 1. The first image is during my lunch time stroll around Sheffield and coming across a man drawing poems on...

4 Most Used Make-Up Brushes.

If you are like me, when you find things you like and that works for you, you tend to stick to them like glue. I put on make-up pretty much every day and I tend to use the same brushes and tools all the time, I find it hard to let something new in! So I thought I'd share with you the 4 make up brushes I use constantly. The first brush I'll talk about is the Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush. I was...

Entertainment of the Month: January 2016.

This past month or so I have binge watched a serious amount of TV. I thought I'd start a new series here on my blog, I mean, who doesn't love a good series right? I really enjoying watching TV and films, listening to podcasts, reading and a variety of things, so I thought I'd share the highlights each month. This month has been particularly TV and film heavy even for me, but I'll throw...

Getting Crafty With Cross-stitch.

I apologise for the lack of post on Sunday, I was too busy having fun being crafty. Yep, I'm officially 85 years old.  For as long as I can remember I've been a crafty person, mostly with textiles. I've been able to knit since I was old enough to hold the needles, so cross stitch and textiles followed suit. During my double A-level in Art and Design my projects always seemed to involve...
