Steinbeck And Shaw | Brighton

21st July 2017 8 Comments

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the soft launch of their lastest cocktail bar in Brighton. Located at the bottom of West Street and attached to PRYZM, it honestly feels a million miles away from the usual connotations of “just another West Street bar”. For those of you not from Brighton, think of that one street in your town where you never want to go down at night because it’s full of clubbers, people throwing up and girls dropping chips all over the floor while trying to pull their knickers out of their bums. Just sayin’.

Summer Lunch Recipes

19th July 2017 6 Comments

I’ll let you in on a secret. I much prefer autumn and winter but only because I’m lazy. Hear me out though; I make weekday lunches for me and J every day and it’s so easy to buy cheapy cans of soup from Asda, but in the hotter months, I actually have to put a little bit of effort in!

Recently though, I’ve stumbled on some really simple and easy-to-make recipes which we’ve been absolutely loving, so I’m sharing them with you, in case you’re looking for some summer lunch inspiration 🙂

Heaven Skincare At The Grand Hotel Brighton*

17th July 2017 6 Comments

I’ve spoken about Heaven Skincare on my blog before because, last year, I was lucky enough to win a massive goody bag from them in the Big Blogger Expo raffle!

So I was really excited to learn that the products are not only available to purchase at the spa in the Grand Hotel Brighton, but they’re also offering unique spa treatments using these incredible products.

My Top Interview Preparation Tips

14th July 2017 6 Comments

It’s always useful to prepare thoroughly for interviews. People spend ages thinking of the questions they might be asked and how to give fantastic answers, which is fab, but there are loads of other bits you can do, that you might not have thought of, to prepare yourself for the big day. Here are my top tips on preparing for interviews 🙂

Stop Snacking With Slissie*

12th July 2017 6 Comments

I have a “not so secret” secret. I’m a habitual snacker, especially when I’m at work. I start off doing really well and not succumbing to the 11am biscuit. I dutifully drink loads of water and clap myself on the back for doing so well. I eat my somewhat healthy lunch and usually save a clementine for that 3pm slump.

Bear’s Post

10th July 2017 24 Comments

It’s not exactly a surprise that I absolutely love cats; especially Bear (my own cat). He’s been moaning for ages that he only appears very briefly on my blog or pops up on Insta stories so he persuaded me it was about time he had a blog post dedicated to him. Here’s Bear doing what he does best, sitting on all the things I want to photograph for the blog 😀 😀

Brightening Up My Summer

7th July 2017 4 Comments

I’m absolutely rubbish at dressing for summer; because most of my clothes are black. Or very dark. So this year I’ve been trying really hard to brighten up up my look for the summer months and it’s been making me feel super happy!! Here’s what I’ve bought (so far!)

My Reverse Bucket List

5th July 2017 12 Comments

We’re always talking about the things we’ve always wanted to do and all things we want to do but will probably never get round to. A reverse bucket list is about celebrating all the things that you’ve done already!

Living The Blonde Life

3rd July 2017 4 Comments

When I was really young, I was a proper little blond haired girl! As I grew up, it started getting darker and by about 7, I became a pretty non-descript “mousey brown”.

Over the years, my hair’s been black, red, blue, and pink. But in the last year or so, I’ve gone back to being blonde. And I have to say I’m absolutely loving it! I still have my brown roots though as I wanted more of a “natural” balayage look and it seems to suit my skin tone quite well!

Pole Fitness

30th June 2017 12 Comments

So a lot of you who follow me on here, Twitter and Instagram will probably know that I do pole fitness. Every time I mention it, I get asked a lot of questions, and I thought it might be good to do a bit of a Q&A session. Some questions have been asked on Twitter and some are questions I thought you might want to know the answers to 🙂
