St. Patrick's Day in Belfast is wonderful. There's a lovely atmosphere in the city that's difficult to describe. A bit of excitement in the air. Maybe it's because it's the first bank holiday of the Spring months, who knows, but when March 17th rolls round it feels as though...
I've gone mad making soup. I'm like Monica Gellar with her jams, except with less of a mental breakdown attached. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself. I just friggin' love soup. I'd never actually made any before so I thought instead of buying soups from Tesco & M&S all the...
I love the whole subscription box concept. It sounds delightful to have a surprise treat delivered to your door every month. It's exciting enough receiving clothes or books I've ordered but a SURPRISE? Yes please. So when that surprise comes in the form of four new exciting loose leaf teas...
For such a small city (& country overall), we covered a lot on our trip to Reykjavik. However, the absolute highlight had to be the Golden Circle Tour which brought us out of the city and through the Icelandic countryside covering all the scenic bases. It's an extremely popular...

Firstly, apologies, I ended up going on a bit of an unintended hiatus there for a while. Whenever I missed posting one week I sort of spiralled completely out of my routine and suddenly it was 2017. It's something I didn't want to happen but it did happen. I'm...
Well. September flew by. As much as I love September's not quite summer, not quite Autumn vibes and temperate weather, I'm pretty thrilled that it's October. Autumn-y vibes are finally getting fully under way and it won't be long til I have my trusty woolly hat and scarves out again....
I'm pleased to be reviewing a brand local to me on the blog this week, Suki Tea! They are perhaps the best known herbal tea brand in Northern Ireland. If you pop into any cafes in Belfast and further afield in NI there is a high chance that the...
Think of all the films and TV shows you've watched that are set in suburban America or have at least featured a facet of suburban American life. Gilmore Girls, Superbad and more recently, Stranger Things to name but a few of my favourites of the top of my head. There...
