I’ve always had difficulty finding a suitable Christmas gift for ‘him’. I’m literally referring to all the men in my life including my dad, brother, husband and even grandad. I find that it’s safer to stick to the three s’s i.e. sweets, socks and smellies, but this year I’m on a mission…
Everyone who knows me knows that I love chocolate. So you can imagine my delight when this package of delights arrived. Hugo’s Chocolate Club is an irresistible artisan chocolate subscription service that delivers scrumptious goodies hand-picked from four different producers to your doorstep every month. What more could a girl ask…
Taking the time to indulge in a little self-care after having a baby is incredibly important. Some believe that the hard part is over and in some respect, I guess this is true, however, the healing process combined with unpredictable hormones and sleepless nights can really take their toll on…
There are so many things I love about this time of year. I’ve been practically stalking Trendmood and drooling over all the upcoming festive beauty launches. I put the heating on for the first time the other night, lit some candles and treated myself to my first proper hot chocolate of…

Rhythm108 specialise in organic, delicious, wholesome good-for-you delicacies that include biscuits, dessert bars and chocolate bars. They believe in simple recipes that are high in fibre, gluten-free…
The other day I was sent a fabulous box of goodies from the lovely people at Twinings to celebrate the release of their new Cold Infuse collection. It’s recommended that we drink at least 2 litres of water a day, however, I must admit, my daily intake is nowhere close to reaching this.…
We’re a full month into our subscription and we literally have no complaints about the food, delivery and customer service we’ve received so far. When HelloFresh offered me my first box in return for a review, I had no idea that I’d be so impressed with the quality of the…
How’s your weekend going so far? As you can imagine, with only 4 weeks until the baby arrives, things here are pretty chaotic. My baby box arrived last week (here) and we’re spending today decorating it and getting Penny excited for the new arrival. This week I made a Wet…
Since my initial last HelloFresh post just over two weeks ago, I’ve sampled another two boxes and I thought I’d keep you updated with my progress. HelloFresh was kind enough to send me my first box free of charge in exchange for an honest review. Ross and I were so…
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed a mouth-watering array of dishes popping up on my feed recently. This usually only happens when we’ve actually managed to find a babysitter and have escaped to a fancy, grown-up restaurant (McDonald’s not included) for date night. This sadly only happens once…
Throughout my second pregnancy, I have been on a quest to find natural alternatives to help relieve my two most frustrating symptoms: stretchmarks and tiredness. When Indigo Herbs* got in touch to ask me if I’d like to try their Organic Matcha Tea Powder AND Organic Coconut Oil I jumped at the chance. Could…

I don’t know about you, but shopping for dads, grandads, boyfriends, brothers… literally, any male in my family always proves to be a difficult challenge. You’re either met with the socks vs. smellies debacle or, when you outright ask them, you’re greeted with the dreaded “You don’t need to get me anything”…
When the lovely people at Willie’s Cacao, a bean to bar chocolate manufacturer, asked if I’d like to try out their Single Estate Discovery Pack full of artisan chocolate AND host a Twitter giveaway to give you the chance of winning one too, I, of course, couldn’t reply to that email quickly enough!…
The schools are finally back and Degustabox is full of lunchbox ideas that the kids will love. The Summer edition was full of huge brands including Rowntrees, Weetabix and, every mum’s favourite, Blossom Hill, however, as I have such a sweet tooth I think this month’s box is even better.…
