My grand tour… Walthamstow
When my doctor told me that I needed to reduce my stress levels, a day trip to Walthamstow probably wasn’t exactly the remedy she had in mind. But after being lured to the urban suburb with the promise of a mani and invite to the Spa Experience bloggers event- that’s exactly where I headed.. And […]

Jerk Season!!
The title is so accurate in many different contexts #LookingAtYouTrump- but I am of course referring to this years Caribbean Food Week The CFW festival will return to Windrush Square in Brixton on 26th – 28th of August 2017.

What have you learnt from your biggest mistake?
