Harrogate seems to have had an influx of new eateries opening recently. Is it to coincide with the UCI World Championship that is about to inundate our town with thousands of tourists or just plain coincidence? Whatever the reason for this sudden surge of new places to eat in Harrogate, I am not complaining! Here…

Luxury Gifts From A Gift From The Gods
It is one week until I’m speaking at the Harrogate Home and Gift Event 2019 and I am both super excited… and just a tad nervous! Fun fact! 3 years ago, I was working the doors at the Harrogate Home And Gift Event, signing people in and printing off their name badges. Isn’t it crazy…

How To Change Your Life Without Ruining It First
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase ‘you have to reach rock bottom to know that something needs to change’ over and over. And there’s a reason – because it’s true! But also, ‘rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life,’ is the more important side of the quote. Don’t think of…

OPENING NIGHT REVIEW: My Fair Lady, Harrogate Theatre
Fun fact: My Fair Lady was the first musical theatre production I was ever a part of. At the ripe age of 12-years-old, I tied my apron strings and sang about ‘poor Professor Higgins’ as a couple of sixth formers ran around the stage yelling vowel sounds at each other. If that sentence confuses you,…

I Don’t Need To Get Married, I Just Need The Pretty Dress
Ever since I was a young girl I have dreamed about what my wedding dress would one day be like.

Harrogate Bloggers Breakfast At The West Park Hotel
On Friday 22nd February I was lucky enough to attend the Harrogate Bloggers Breakfast at the West Park Hotel. It was my first time getting together with local Harrogate bloggers just for the pure pleasure of socialising, and now I want to do more. I always wondered what people get up to at blogging events,…

The 5 Life Lessons I Learned In 2018
2018 has been one heck of a year. I can’t say that it was a bad year because there were plenty of fun things that happened in it. But it was a year that came with plenty of heartbreak and life-changing lessons. As the new year fast approaches, it seems only fitting to look back…

My Christmas Gift Guide With Infinity & Co Jewellery
Buying Christmas presents every year can be difficult. It’s especially difficult when the person you’re buying for doesn’t give you any clues what they would like. I have to admit, I am totally guilty of doing that. This year, everyone has asked me what I would like for Christmas and my answer has pretty much…

A Night Of Prosecco And Christmas Shopping With Harrogate Tribe
It’s exactly a month till Christmas! Well, just under now actually… So we all know what that means… Cue the mad dash to Boots to buy everyone’s last minute gifts. Every year I say that I’m going to gradually buy everyone’s gifts gradually so that I don’t leave it last minute and have no money…

Cocktails In The Sun | The Ivy Harrogate Garden Terrace
It may be only 5 degrees, but at least the sun is out this morning, so QUICK! RUN FOR A BEER GARDEN! We all got teased with the promise of a nice spring and summer with 27 degree weather last week, but it was washed away by rain as quickly as it appeared. So obviously,…

Gin Night At The White Hart Hotel
Gin has recently been growing on me, adding another alcohol to my list of favourite bevvies. I don’t drink fizzy drinks but I sure drink alcohol… Don’t even get me started on Slingsby’s rhubarb gin – mixed with elderflower tonic, it is possibly the tastiest drink around… and therefore possibly the most dangerous! So give…

Tea Time At Mama Doreen’s
As I’m leaving the country at the end of the week, my time is currently spent doing a mixture of packing, panicking, and squeezing in goodbye’s with all my friends and family… So a fitting ‘see ya real soon’ with my friend Lucie (who owns Destination Beauty in Harrogate), who is always dressed in the…

A Taste Of Italy In Harrogate
This time last year, I was sailing the Mediterranean sea, visiting different ports of Italy every other day of the week… Eating lots of pizza, drinking the best coffee I’ve had (and milk is not common with Italian coffee, so it was hardcore stuff!) and sitting in blazing sun surrounded by European beauty. Seeing pictures…

A Week Of Fun For Less Than £10 A Day!
As someone who enjoys the ‘funemployed’ life, (and is also going on holiday very soon), it can be hard to enjoy the finer things in life when you have bare-all money… In case you’re wondering what ‘funemployed’ is – it is what most actors are. Unemployed in what you want to be doing, but working…
