My Top 5 Contour Palettes
I can’t believe I used to live my life without contouring. Some people may eye roll at that and think, why are people always trying to change their face? But the thing is, I am not one of those people that contours the crap out of my face, it’s more of a natural contour that I do that just makes my face look glowy and have a little more shape. I spend literally 5 minutes applying my makeup each morning (it’s impossible to take any longer with a 3 year old). So it’s not like I am doing it ‘properly’ I guess, but I have noticed how much nicer my makeup…

Legendary Sunday Dinners at Revolution!
I was invited to attend the launch day of the new Sunday dinner menu at Revolution in Newcastle. I was quite excited about this for a few reasons. The first being that I was looking forward to a great big Sunday dinner (minus the washing up). The second was because Revolution is quite special to myself and Sie. It is where we actually met for the first time, when he was a bar manager there many years ago. Any chance to go back there is obviously great for us and it was nice to be going in with our son, who wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t have bumped in to each…

Celebrating New Years Eve In Style
Some of you may have seen my brief live video of me on New Years eve. You may be thinking I have gone mad after seeing that video but it was actually a brilliant night! Normally I don’t do much for New Years Eve and my parents usually have a big party at theirs with lots of alcohol and food. With having Reid now and him being at a fun age we wanted to do something he would enjoy too. After having his 3rd Birthday party at Planet Leisure end of October, we absolutely loved the place and were excited to find out about their New Years party. The tickets…

Elf’s Christmas Wish – Gala Theatre
I was offered the opportunity to attend a Christmas show at the Gala Theatre today with my little man called Elf’s Christmas Wish. It is a charming and interactive introduction to theatre which engages the senses and inspires the imagination. It includes original music, movement and puppets and the simple storytelling is perfect for the under 5s to enjoy with their families at Christmas time. I decided that it sounded like a lovely thing to take my 3 year old to and that it would be good to prepare him for when he goes to see a pantomime later this month. The show was in the studio upstairs in the Gala theatre which…

A Magical Enchanted Christmas at Hardwick Hall
***Please note**** Enchanted Christmas is no longer running and the company behind this event closed down. ‘Believe Christmas’ is NOT the same event. Whilst yes it is at the same location with some of the same props it is run by a whole new company. The people running this company did work for the previous company who ran Enchanted Christmas before but this was with a big team, big budget and a lot more resources. Therefore please do not read this review with the idea that the new event will be the same. I cannot give any advice on what the new event will be like, no one can and…

Glamping in style
Anyone who knows me well will know how much I am not a fan of camping/roughing it! I hate bugs, creepy crawlies and I hate being cold. So you can imagine how much I was dreading staying in a wigwam in October! Basically It was my dad’s 50th in June and I struggled to know what to get him that was special. I knew he just wanted to spend time with me and I know he loves camping so I decided to bite the bullet and buy a voucher for us all to go, and put aside my dislike of it (on this one occasion). I thought we would plan…
