A Stag Do In Newcastle

Newcastle

Newcastle has always had a bit of a reputation for being a great night out – it’s got a huge range of fab nightclubs and bars with a Northern price tag. Known to many as the setting for the eponymous Geordie Shore, there’s so much more than just fake tan and cheap vodka. It’s a city brimming with history, art, and easy access to the beautiful Northumbrian countryside. If you’re planning a stag do in Newcastle, you won’t be alone, as it’s one of the top 10 destinations in the UK. Here’s some ideas to get you started.

The Evolution of the Ice Cream Van…

Did your parents ever tell you that when the Ice Cream van man rings their bell it means they have nothing left? Cruel or genius? For a long time I grew up in the countryside and didn’t have an ice cream van for a long time.

Back in 2009, I visited the Banksy exhibit in Bristol curated by the man of mystery himself. The focus point was of course, an ice cream van.

Exit Newcastle Escape Room

Have you heard of live action escape games? No? Neither had I until recently but if you are old enough to remember the Crystal Maze then you wouldn’t be far off the mark. EXIT Newcastle is Newcastle’s finest offering.

Don’t worry…. There’s no spoiler alerts….. although this could well be my most vague review to date.

British Skin Foundation launches Molly the Mole

It’s summer and everyone likes to soak up those sunny rays but taking care of your skin and checking your moles is incredibly important which is why I am posting this release from the BSF.

Hi I’m Molly the Mole,

Nice to meet you! Skin cancer can come at any time so it’s important to remember to check your moles regularly. I don’t mean moles like me, but the ones on your body. Most skin cancers can be cured if they are detected early so here are my top tips to checking your skin:

Check your skin regularly for changes to moles or a patch of skin.
Ask a friend or family member to check areas you can’t see easily such as ears, scalp and back.
Look out for moles or patches of skin that are growing, changing shape, developing new colours, inflamed, bleeding, crusting, red around the edges, itchy or behaving unusually.
If in doubt get it checked by your GP or dermatologist.

You can buy a Molly the Mole wristband designed by Martha & Hepsie for just £2 and help to spread the skin check message with your friends and family.

The money raised from the sale of the wristbands will go to skin cancer research as part of the British Skin Foundation’s It Takes 7 skin cancer campaign.

You’ll also find me on special gifts with a percentage of the sale going to skin cancer research.
