It’s a Tuesday night – we’ve been to an event, which was fabulous, but as it’s coming to an end, three of us find ourselves hungry, and no dinner plans in sight. We ponder the options. Should we grab something to take home, a sandwich on the bus maybe? Or a quick something when we…
I was going to save this for later this week, but as it was pointed out to me, vouchers for this make an awesome Valentine’s gift, and far be it for me to deny you the opportunity to get all romantic with beer! This weekend, I headed over to Liverpool to get all beery. UK…
The Curve Fashion Festival is a bit of a plus size fashion staple – I’ve been every year since it launched, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. It’s an opportunity for fashion lovers, and bloggers like me (and those influencers far more fashion heavy than me) to meet each other, meet new brands and…

So as ever, when Curve Fashion Festival rolled around, we made a little fuss. Booked a hotel, booked a dinner (after asking friends for recommendations)…
I grumble often about not being able to get to Liverpool often enough. It’s one of those places, that whilst physically big, like Manchester it’s a place where everybody knows everybody else. A conversation whilst perched at a bar, or chatting to a member of restaurant staff can reveal a linked history of people and…
Ahh Liverpool. You’ve been kind to me and, after that horrendous hotel experience, you’ve been a little mean too. But I still love you. I love that physically you’re so big and imposing and grand. I love that the people are friendly, that your food and drink scene is still growing and learning – that…
This article originally appeared in (the now closed) Bitten Magazine in March 2016. Call it ’La Fee Vert’, the Green Fairy, or the Green Lady – whatever the name you give it, Absinthe has a chequered past. From its humble beginnings in the late 18th century as a medicinal elixir in Switzerland, to its…
