A big thank you….

An interruption to usual  service today. No Food Friday.

I wanted to sit down and take 5 minutes to thank you. To truly thank you for reading my ramblings, supporting me and my website and just helping me have a voice.

Last night, I was once again listed as one of the most influential tweeters in the North East as part of the Journal Newspapers #NETwitterati poll.

 

NETwitterati

It means a lot to me but comes at a very bittersweet time. Last year I was lucky enough to show my Grandma the supplement in which I was listed, just a couple of days before she passed away. We are at the 1yr anniversary but it’s a nice way to get through this. Don’t you think?

Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and everyone one of you who read and who voted.

Autumn Make Up Update from Charlotte Tilbury

Charlotte Tilbury 4

After buying my Charlotte Tilbury goodies online from Selfridges for longer than I care to, we finally have a concession in Fenwick in Newcastle. At long last we can swatch before buying!

I have picked up a few new bits, mostly repurchases, to get me ready for autumn and winter.

You might even have some Charlotte Tilbury items without even knowing, Myface was a previous brand that was even available in Boots!

Fusion – Ramside Hall, Durham

Fusion – Ramside Hall, Durham

I am more than happy to rave about the Rib Room at Ramside Hall. Impeccable service and an even higher calibre of food. With the launch of the new and oh so swish Ramside Spa, the Fusion restaurant was introduced to the hotel site. Would I like it just as much? I hoped so.

Byron Burger, Newcastle

Byron Burger, Newcastle

One thing that has always bothered me until very recently was the North East dining scene. Yes we do independent and awesome and we do it VERY well, but for the longest of time, hip and trendy ‘London’ based brands and chains wouldn’t set foot up North. This has changed and it has changed for the better now that Byron Burger has landed.

Byron has landed on Grey Street in a prime location right next to the Monument and most importantly – the giant screen showing the Rugby World Cup!

Funky Laser Jewellery

Funky Laser Workshop 3

A few weeks ago the lovely ladies at Funky Laser kindly invited me down to their Hartlepool workshops to learn more about the brand, their fantastic products and services they offer.

Growing from a corner of a spare bedroom in to a laser cutting colossus, as a fellow business woman, I have nothing but respect for the team.

Read on to see what we got up to at the workshop
