Who doesn’t love a curry? No one, that’s who! Everyone loves a curry! But if you just raised your hand and decided to be the exception that enforces the rule, allow me to convert you. This curry is tasty AF, but is also loads healthier than what you’d get from your local takeaway – plus it costs like under a…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve more than likely heard this ominous phase mentioned somewhere. Most likely on the FB or twitter profile of a mate who you know for a fact was drinking doubles on the back end of the bank holiday Sunday and spent the next day sleeping off the effects or nursing them with…

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, said Kate Moss once upon a time. I bet she’s never tried a double beef burger with battered cheese and a generous helping of chipotle mayo, because if she had, she’d never spew out such nonsense. Here’s the thing. There’s a lot of pressure for women of all ages to look a…

If you need to know anything about me, the most important thing is that I love fashion that leaves me change for a pint after a long day of shopping. I don’t believe that fabulous fashion has to cost the earth and if I can find a banging bargain that looks like a million bucks but doesn’t cost as much…

When I was in my 20’s, I was dreading crossing the threshold to 30. Like that big, round number would somehow change everything and my life would be irreparably over. Then the day came (and went) and I realised I that being 30 did indeed change everything – for the better. I am serious you guys. Since…

When I think of alchemy I don’t necessarily connect that with eggs benedict or a full English breakfast – but it seems that Alchemist does. And why not! Food is chemistry on many levels I suppose. And then there is the chemistry between people, and that’s where it all started to fold like a house of cards. …

Okay so it’s not a new thing by any stretch of the imagination, Plevna opened way back in the beginning of 90s, but it still makes it new to us who do not have the fortune of living within walking/driving distance of it. But let’s start from the beginning. Hubby and I visit Tampere every so often…

“You should dress your age” they say and I totally agree, as long as it’s the age of “I’ll wear whatever the f*ck I want”. In my 30+ years I have not learned to give two hoots about what other people think I should wear or how, and I don’t intend to start now. If anything, I’m even…

Excuse me while I take a moment trying to think back to the time when I consumed overproduced, over-commercialised, under-flavoured lagers and actually tried to convince myself that I enjoyed them. I’d rather not, but it’s such a contradiction to how I enjoy my beer now that I feel it’s sometimes required. Like, look how far beer and I have…

“Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy”, said Benjamin Franklin (arguably) way back when and if you needed any more proof that it’s true, that was at the Hoole Beer festival this weekend. Sure, I ended up with the mother of all hangovers and sore feet due to too much dancing but it was…
