On Monday I was invited to a rather wonderful event at Arthur’s of the Grand. Arthur’s is a new cocktail bar and pre-theatre area sponsored by Arthur Price, the cutlery experts, at the newly refurbished Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton, and is a beautiful Art Deco space.

From laying the perfect Christmas table, making exquisite Christmas cocktails, seasonal touches for the home and food treats in the form of Christmas cake and quick dishes.

House of Fraser are sorting out your cocktail needs
We are getting very close to the festive season, and that means that it is almost cocktail season too. On Monday night I attended a very special Christmas event at the Wolverhampton Grand, and one of the things on the menu was creating Christmas cocktails, with a Snow Queen being a particular treat (coconut cream, Malibu and blue curacao in case you’re wondering.)

The Body Shop VIP event with the Bloggers Parlour
Last Thursday I popped along to The Body Shop on Birmingham’s New Street to attend my first event with the Bloggers Parlour. It was a fabulous night of beauty, games and cocktails in a beautiful store that has just been refurbished and looks, quite frankly, amazing. The Bloggers Parlour organise blogger events in the Midlands, trying to offer something a little different in terms of activities and opportunities. Social media plays a big part of the events, with lots of opportunities to win spot prizes through sharing photographs on Twitter and Facebook, and using the #Bloggersparlour hashtag as often as possible. There were also opportunities to be creative – choosing…

Friction Free Shaving Launch at Bar Opus
When it comes to shaving, it seems women are getting a rough deal, and not just due to shaving rash. We tend to pay more for our products, and suffer with inferior bits of pink plastic. And, if we decide that we would like to invest in a better class of razor, like men are able to do, we find that these are just not available for women. Until now that is. Friction Free Shaving is a start up based in my neck of the woods (i.e. Cannock, Staffordshire) that wants to give women the same choice, quality and value as men when it comes to shaving. It offers a…
