Taking Stock
I read my good friend’s Sweedas blog (check it out here) and found a great post which was about taking stock of your life by answering a list of questions. I thought it was a great read so decided to do my own stock take. Taking stock list Making: Checklists to become more productive andRead More
Lunch and Brigit’s Bakery
Hazel has spoken about Brigit’s Bakery for a few years but I hadn’t had the chance to visit. We tried to drop in a couple of weeks ago but it was fully booked. Today was the day we finally got to visit. The weather was beautiful; the sun was shining and we didn’t need aRead More
Museum of Brands and Hakkasan Hanway Place
Hazel and I chose to do something different for the monthly catch up by going to a museum. First stop was the Museum of Brands on Lancaster Road just off Ladbroke Grove in Notting Hill. The museum is open every day from 10am to 6pm (11am-5pm on Sunday). It costs £9 for adults and £5Read More

Dinner at Ev Restaurant Southbank
One of my goals this year is to lose weight and get fit. Sweeda and I were meeting so I wanted to find a healthy place to eat in London.

Elan’s Cafe
Élan’s Café is another Instagram favourite. They have several branches so Hazel and I visited the Mayfair Cafe on Park Lane. The beautiful pink and cream flowers draw you into the venue. The décor was pretty and girly with floral arrangements, baby pink chairs and marble tables. We were seated at a table and aRead More
Beautiful Santorini
Santorini has been on my bucket list for a while and I was so excited to be ticking it off. Hazel found a great deal on Easyjet which worked out under £600 each for 6 days. The Greek island is picturesque with breath-taking views. Day 1 We had an early start with a 3am pickupRead More
Lorenzo of Shirley
Lorenzo is a lovely Italian Restaurant based in Shirley. My friend Mairo invited me on several occasions and today was another great time to visit as I hadn’t seen her in a while. As soon as we arrived we were seated at our usual table by the window. The staff greeted us with a smileRead More
London Town
I purchased the Time Out Shortlist London Book a couple of years ago and I bookmarked all the places I wanted to visit. When I was putting my Reading List together I came across the book collecting dust. I am now determined to tick all the places off. I have put a list together andRead More

The Ned is a Hotel in the City of London and a short walk from Bank Station. They have nine restaurants, a rooftop pool, a gym, spa and hammam.

Cocktails at Tonight Josephine’s
Sweeda and I decided to go for cocktails at Tonight Josephine’s in Waterloo. The cocktail bar is based on Waterloo Road across the road from Waterloo Station. It’s best to reserve a table to avoid disappointment as it’s another Instagram favourite. From the moment you step inside, you see a variety of pretty girly decorRead More
