Review: Hide Above

We had a restaurant reservation for quite a while to go to the acclaimed Hide Above restaurant by Ollie Dabbous, in Green Park.

I love it 🍌🍌🍌🍌

Blue Monday 2020 💙

Blue Monday is a completely made-up phenomenon, apparently signifying the most depressing day of the year. It’s celebrated on the third Monday after New Year, when you’ve been without a pay cheque for weeks on end, and the afterglow of the festive period has completely worn off. Whether or not Blue Monday is scientifically the […]

What’s in my Birchbox | Jan ’20

This year, off the back of how much I loved my beauty advent calendar, I decided I was going to get a beauty box subscription. I heard some amazing things about Birchbox which promises to deliver 5 semi-personalised beauty treats every month.
