Fabulous Food from Bun and Bowl
For foodies, Birmingham is becoming a really good place to enjoy delicious food, with lots of new eateries popping up, offering a wide array of cuisines that suit all tastes. One of the most recent to open is Bun and Bowl, which is located in the Iconic building that is ‘The Cube’. Bun and Bowl was launched in May and is a deluxe burger and shrimp restaurant. I was invited to the opening, but due to family commitments I couldn’t make it, so when I was asked if I would like to sample the menu I was really excited. And so, last Friday night, I took the hubby along to…

An Afternoon Picnic at The Balcony, Selfridges
Ever since I attended the opening party of The Balcony restaurant in Selfridges, Birmingham, last December, I have been itching to try out the Afternoon Picnic. The restaurant, part of the Searcy’s group, had shown guests their take on a traditional afternoon tea, but due to consumer copious amounts of food and scrummy cocktails on the night, I had not been able to sample any of the delights on offer. This was something I knew I had to put right. So last Friday I took myself off the iconic Bullring Birmingham store with one of my favourite blogging ladies, the gorgeous Miss Emily Jayne, to sample the delights of an…

#MorrisonsMums Bank Holiday challenge

Last Thursday (May 1st) Morrisons supermarket launched a new and cheaper Morrisons. Proclaiming that there would be no difference in the great quality choice and produce that customers expect from Morrisons, the supermarket had slashed the…

Actimel helps you #squeezemorein
I’m a huge fan of Actimel Plus. The fabulous, fruity yoghurt drink is the perfect start to the day for someone like me, always in a rush in the mornings and not really a huge fan of breakfast. I always make sure I keep a supply of my favourite Strawberry flavour in my fridge, and am keen to try the new Blackcurrant flavour too. I love the fact that I can also persuade my little boy to drink these too – he seems to enjoy them almost as much as I do, with Vanilla being his favourite. Actimel have a special ethos, they believe that squeezing a lot in is…
