When it comes to Valentines Day or any other occasion that requires chocolates to be bought, I always feel a bit left out as I don’t particularly like it.
I do however like retro sweets from my childhood and I love it when I find new places to stock up or I am given a 20p mix up! I am easily pleased!
Being forever challenged in the brow department thanks to some rather pathetic blonde brows, I am always on the lookout for the next big thing.
Last year Maybelline released their double ended wonder product – Brow Satin. Quick to get my grubby little mitts on it, I have been blown away. This is a cult product for me now.
Last year I went mad for floral and patterned jersey trousers and I am glad to see that there is no sign of the trend going away.
In 2015, the bold power trouser is going to be another key look and as always New Look Inspire have their finger on the pulse. From geometric checks to dainty floral, the power pants are here to stay!

Last week, we headed on down to Bill’s, a brand new opening in Durham.
The newest resident on the Saddler Street foodie strip has a prime double fronted location on the street which attracts huge footfall from both residents and visitors alike. This is the first location for the chain in the North East and it is exactly what Durham needs as the food buzz is starting to take off.
On entering the venue, we were escorted through a vast property to a dining room at the back with views over the Elvet Bridge. The space at the back would make a great private dining room for functions! All stripped wood, bare walls and exposed ducting, the décor blends well with the existing architecture of the building providing endless charm.
Last night, Mr T and I went along to the official launch of The Botanist but just before Christmas I paid a visit to The Botanist for a girly lunch and it was a sheer delight.
Taking up residence in the old Monument Mall food court, the space has been transformed in to a botanical garden (get it?) of wonder and amazement. As you enter the bar you are greeted by a huge tree filling the existing glass atrium, ringed by the well stocked bar. Dining is placed towards the front of the building with views out over Greys Monument and the surrounding shopping streets.
