Christmas Gift Guide 2020: Small Business Edition

9 December 2020      Leave a Comment

 2020 is the year I launched my own business. It is also the year that my boyfriend launched his own business. Oh, and my sister too. And my friend from uni! So, you could say that this is the year that I really got to see what owning a small business is all about. And what I discovered is that a lot goes into it. I mean, it is not just pottering away in your kitchen making something cute and uploading it to etsy and, bam, overnight you have a successful business. Although a large amount of ...

Mini Halloween Room Tour

19 October 2020      Leave a Comment

 I think this must be the first year that I have actually decorated for Halloween. Usually, I will buy a little pumpkin or two and pop it on the sideboard for a few weeks until it gets green spots on it and I start to panic that it is going mouldy and contaminating the whole house then it is off to the bin with it. But this year, I have actually purposefully gone out and bought decorations. Unfortunately though, I really only have a couple of places in the house that I can properly ...

Places To Eat In Cardiff: Coffee Barker

12 October 2020      Leave a Comment

Coffee Barker is quickly becoming my favourite place to eat in Cardiff. It was somewhere that I heard mentioned a lot back in my uni days as somewhere people would go with their laptops of an afternoon and quietly type of essays, coffee cup in hand. Back then, I always felt a little awkward going to such places alone - and, alas, I left Cardiff having never set foot in their once.Times really have changed because I have only been back in Cardiff for just over a month and I am already setting ...

Little Things I Want To Enjoy With The Kids This Autumn

7 October 2020      Leave a Comment

These days, I feel like I don't often have a huge amount of time to really slow down and enjoy things. There is always another job on my list that needs doing - I guess that kinda comes with the territory of being a solo parent to two young kids. So, I have been pushing myself more lately just to live in the moment and enjoy the little things. Be it cuddling the kids on the sofa in the mornings and making the laundry wait or going for a day out somewhere just because. And, I have to say, we have ...

📍 Sibling, Lochaber St I finally made it back 📍 Sibling, Lochaber St

I finally made it back to @sibling_cardiff! I visited way back when they first opened (maybe even on their opening day!) and had vowed to return since they sorted their indoor seating - and I finally got around to it earlier this week.

Sibling is such a cosy little spot. I love the interiors, everything looks really cool and put together. And the coffee! They do a cracking flat white. Their hot chocolate also looked like it'd be great so that is also on my to-do list. 

When we visited, they had a small selection of bakes (try their banana bread if you ever have a chance!) and then some 'proper' food too. I opted for a tomato and olive oil on sourdough kinda situ - and absolutely inhaled it. Just fresh, good food. 

Absolutely recommend this place if you're looking for a quiet spot to enjoy a coffee and a chat ☕

📍@sevenluckygodsbristol at @newport.market It' 📍@sevenluckygodsbristol at @newport.market

It's official; I am addicted to the Korean fried chicken from @sevenluckygodsbristol 🙌 

The chicken is boneless but still so succulent - something that can be hard to find in boneless chicken! And the sauce. God, I could drink it! 😂 It's spicy and sweet and sticky - the perfect Korean BBQ sauce. 

Can't wait to return and take down another portion of these (or three!)

invite 📍Eat The Bird, St Mary Street The lovel invite 📍Eat The Bird, St Mary Street

The lovely people over at @eatthebird kindly invited us back to try more of their range of mega chicken burgers and loaded fries so, earlier this week, I got everyone together and we headed en masse to devour some chickeny goodness.

Between us, we tried a very good amount of the menu - and here's what we liked best! 

🍔 The Chicktator
🍟 Kyiv loaded fries
🍹 Cherry amaretto sour
🧀 Poutine 
🍻 Wing Fingers Beer

Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a cute little spot in the city centre to enjoy really good cocktails, some chicken, and some nice loaded fries! 

For more pics from our visit, head over to my stories where I'll be posting the pics that couldn't fit into the carousel formatting (love insta for that 🙄)

📍Nata & Co, Cardiff city centre Introducing my 📍Nata & Co, Cardiff city centre

Introducing my current obsession: lemon curd pastel de nata from @nataandco 🍋

Now I'm gonna be real with you guys; I'm not usually a cream based dessert kinda gal (with the exception of tiramisu and trifle - I'm only human). Stuff like cheesecakes and eclairs never really did it for me. So, traditional pastel de natas were never at the top of my dessert faves list. That's until I tried the lemon curd versions!

The lemon slices through the creaminess of the custard and adds a bit of zing to an otherwise quite mellow dessert. And I am fully here for that.

@nataandco also have a branch on Clifton St in Adamsdown which I love - it has really authentic vibes and great coffee deals. Also if you go in later in the day, they sometimes have some great reductions!

Hey MTV, welcome to my crib 😎 I wish! I captur Hey MTV, welcome to my crib 😎

I wish! I captured these shots on a recent visit to Dunster Castle in Somerset. It was my first time visiting and it was so beautiful. The house was so big and had so much to see - including a full size snooker table that we tried our hands at playing on! Would definitely love to explore more of the grounds during the warmer months too.

Deffo recommend if you're local and looking to fill up a day. Also the on site cafe was lush (can't beat a National Trust cafe!). Had a soup and a cheese scone. So good.

ad Would you believe me if I told you all this foo ad Would you believe me if I told you all this food cost under £20? 👀

@dennysdineruk are currently running an offer where you can get two breakfasts, two pancake stacks, and two hot drinks for just £19.99. And the portions are mega - we left absolutely full to the brim! 

Not only that but the food (and service!) is sensational too. The pancakes were a highlight for me - so fluffy and there was a whole bottle of maple syrup on the table to apply as liberally as you'd like (for me, the pancakes need to be swimming on the plate 😂). 

Deffo recommend this place - especially for a half term treat!

So I rewarded myself with an oat flat white and a slice of blood orange meringue pie - and, yes, it was as good as it sounds! Absolutely inhaled this. And then had to restrain myself from eating kids cookies that they were very slowly munching through. Hard Lines cookies are where it's at, you've heard it here first.

Honestly if you've not been to the @hardlinescoffee cafe on Cowbridge Rd East, arrange a visit! You may want to book ahead though, it is seemingly always busy

On our latest travels, we discovered an absolute g On our latest travels, we discovered an absolute gem - in Bridgwater! I'm gonna be honest, I went to sixth form in Taunton and, in classic town rivalry fashion, I very rarely heard a good work spoken about Bridgwater. So, you can imagine my surprise when I actually went there and discovered that Bridgwater is kinda cute. And they have lush restaurants! Namely @artichokegastropubbridgwater. 

I can't recommend this place enough! The waiting staff were so attentive and friendly, the cocktails were so delicious (this one had muddled blackberries in the bottom of the glass!), and the food was next level. Like don't even get me started on their blue cheese croquettes with a walnut crumb - every bit as delicious as it sounds! 

Definitely book in a visit if you are ever in Somerset - you won't regret it!

It was located in Combwich - out in the Somerset countryside - and was the most idyllic little retreat for a few days. I couldn't get over the gorgeous interiors, all the snacks provided, and just how lush of an escape it was. Legit I'm ready to go back now! 🏃‍♀️

It's true; it is really really really good coffee It's true; it is really really really good coffee 🙌

Tbh @hardlinescoffee needs no introduction. They're absolutely running the coffee scene here in Cardiff. Not only is their coffee lush, the food in their Cowbridge Rd East shop is so so good (especially the cakes omg). And their branding! Complete marketing nerd moment but I adore the branding on everything they produce - consistently cool 😎 

So, get yourself to one of their locations (Cowbridge Rd East is my fave!) and get an oat flat white and a slice of meringue pie, you won't regret it! 🤤

This morning I went to @the_ivy_collection_ for the first time ever! The restaurant was absolutely beautiful and the service was really good (felt quite posh!). 

I went for the veggie breakfast and it was really nice. It was good to see that they'd thought about what would work on a veggie brekkie rather than just serving up an exact replica of the meat version with some mushroom based substitutions. It came with avocado, potato rostis, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, halloumi, tomatoes, watercress, and beans. It was quite rich but a decent breakfast! 

Deffo going to return for cocktails at some point! 🥂

I opted for the Clucking Hell burger which consisted of buffalo sauce covered fried chicken, coleslaw, gherkins, and cheese. It came with chips and totalled around £11 (not bad for the size of meal you get!).

Everything on the menu looked so good - I can't wait to return to try more of their burgers and give their shakes and cocktails a go 🙌

In 2023, I want to travel more! I feel like last y In 2023, I want to travel more! I feel like last year I barely visited anywhere new so I want to make up for it this year and do so much exploring. One of my latest finds is Caerleon! A beautiful little village located just outside of Newport - and it is stunning. A bit like Topsham, for anyone Devon kids who use that as their frame of reference for everything (🙋‍♀️). And, ofc, a big part of discovering new places is searching for new places to eat. And then ordering coffees and giant lemon tarts. 

Absolutely loved the selection of cakes in @thevillage_caerleon and the friendly atmosphere. We'll be back! 🙌
