So this is the first of my Festive Friday series, which will be all about spreading those Christmas feelings. I hadn’t planned on starting quite so early, but when I heard that the Spinningfields ice rink was being launched this week, it definitely made me feel a little bit more festive! The Manchester city centre … Continue reading Festive Friday: Spinningfields ice rink now open!
It’s always nice to try out new lunchtime eating places in Manchester, and the latest that I can tick off my list is the Rosylee Tea Rooms, which opened in Manchester’s Northern Quarter fairly recently. It’s quite a unique place, particularly for that side of the city centre. The décor is quite a nice mix … Continue reading Lunch in the City: Rosylee Tea Rooms
Last weekend I was invited to a bloggers breakfast at The Sweet Shop at into Trafford Centre. 8am was pretty early for a Saturday, but I’ve always had a soft spot for traditional-style sweet shops since I worked in one at the age of 16, so the allure of glass jars full of sweets was … Continue reading The Sweet Shop
This Halloween I put together a costume, but strangely it wasn’t ghoulish or creepy, or even the Mean Girls Halloween combo of lingerie + animal ears. That’s because the party I went to this year was a murder mystery, and I had a specific character to create. I love the idea of a murder mystery … Continue reading My “Halloween” Outfit
Yesterday I decided to make use of my birthday voucher for Nutters - a restaurant owned by celeb chef Andrew Nutter and boasting some great award credentials as well being highly recommended by a friend!

Last year I visited Bury for their Light Night, and when I heard that it was happening again this year I decided to head down there to see whether they’d do anything differently. The idea behind the event is for the community to experience their city at night, with venues and shops staying open late … Continue reading Bury Light Night Showcases the Town at Night
So Vogue Fashion’s Night Out came to Manchester, and Manchester loved it! From the many stores that got involved to the shoppers that came out for the night, the atmosphere in the city was electric on Thursday night! There was so much going on that I didn't get chance to see half of it, or even half … Continue reading Vogue Fashion’s Night Out
This week is going to be a exciting one for Manchester fashion, as Vogue Fashion's Night Out hits the city on Thursday. I love seeing fashion events being hosted here, and I thought I’d share another with you which is also happening this week (big week for Manchester!). This is for all you Manchester-based students … Continue reading ASOS Student Lowdown
This is a post for anyone who loves animals (apes and monkeys in particular), as I cannot show enough support for Monkey World in Dorset, and every now and again like to feature them. I’ve posted about my Monkey World trips before, as we try to visit the park every year to see our adopted … Continue reading The Great Big Monkey World Sleepover
