On Friday, we took a trip to Dundee and found ourselves at the Butterfly Cafe (28-32 Commercial Street). Butterfly Cafe prides itself on being a colourful, fun and interactive cafe that allows children and babies to eat, learn and play in a safe and happy environment. Not only is the…
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.…
Last weekend I was very kindly given tickets to the Edinburgh Foodie Festival from drinks company Sparkling Ice. I have to admit, I’d never heard of this brand before but since attending the festival I’ve been seeing their ads pop up all over Edinburgh, so maybe I’m just a little…
Why is it when I finally decide to plan a BBQ the heavens immediately open? Fingers crossed for sunny skies this weekend as this month’s Degustabox* was packed with treats including sparkling cloudy cider from Rosie’s Pig, buffalo wing spice mix from Schwartz and two huge bags of Haribo in…

Founded in 2014, Tipple Box is a Scottish-based company with humble beginnings that is now the UK’s No. 1 cocktail club. Each month a panel of experts source premium spirits and exclusive…
I am so far way from achieving domestic goddess status in the kitchen that it’s laughable. When Gousto got in touch and asked if I’d like to try out one of their recipe kits I jumped at the chance. When it comes to preparing meals I need all the help I can…
This month’s Degustabox theme is my favourite one yet. Although it’s not quite picnic weather yet in poor auld Scotland (when is it ever?) this little box of happiness is sure to brighten up your day, despite the drizzle. April’s box included some weird and wonderful flavour combinations such as quinoa, smoked…

Each payment is collected on the 11th of each month, however, there is no commitment,…
Every Easter I make these rich, gooey, calorific Creme Egg brownies and they always go down a treat. These brownies are ridiculously easy to make, however, when dealing with chocolate batter you have to keep a close eye on the oven because it’s so hard to tell whether they’re burning! I…
I was super late reviewing my last Degustabox* so I thought I’d share this month’s Easter-themed box as soon as possible. This way you have more of a chance to use my discount code at the end of today’s post, which gives first-time subscribers the chance to nab their first…
Are you getting bored of preparing the same meals every night? Are you tired of snacking on the same nibbles day after day? Are you running low on lunch box ideas for the little ones? Then you NEED Degustabox* in your life! Degustabox is a monthly food box that contains…
In the words of my spirit animal Lorelai Gilmore, “Everything in my life has something to do with coffee, I believe in a former life, I was coffee.” With the exception of makeup, coffee has overtaken chocolate as my biggest vice. Let me rephrase that, expensive coffee is my biggest vice. I can’t walk…
The lovely people over at Urban Fruit* sent me a box full of delicious and 100% natural goodies, perfect for munching on this Summer. Made with fruit that’s been hand-picked in season and gently baked, these tasty treats contain no sulphites, added sugars or nasty concentrates, making them a wholesome and nutritious snack full…
