July Birchbox Review

July Birchbox Review

I know this month’s Birchbox review is super late (sorry!) but I’ve finally managed to get round to it! This is my third Birchbox and the novelty of knowing I have a gift on its way to me in the post is nowhere near wearing off and I was so excited to see what July had in store. July’s Birchbox is all about saying yes to adventure which is exactly what I’ve been trying to do more of lately (You can read my guest post about saying yes more on Influencer Writes). The box is a gorgeous summery pink and…

Aqua Parcs Inflatable Obstacle Course Milton Keynes

Aqua Parcs Inflatable Obstacle Course Milton Keynes

This week I got to try out the brand new Aqua Parcs inflatable obstacle course that has found its new home on Willen Lake. I’m used to running around the lake cursing how big it is whilst trying to finish parkrun on a Saturday morning, so actually being able to get on to the lake and get a new perspective was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.

Scandinavia 2018

Scandinavia 2018

I know, I know it’s too early for the C-word (no Not THAT one, I’m talking Christmas) but the guys from Scandinavia Events are hosting party nights throughout the Festive period and wanted to show off their new Christmas concept even if the sun is shining. The preview evening provided welcome solace from the England defeat and an opportunity to look forward to coming months over some good food, cocktails and live music. The preview was…

MK Summer Feast

MK Summer Feast

I don’t know about you but I bloody love this weather! I’ve been counting down the days until the weekend so that I can enjoy being outside and not stuck in the office. We decided to make the most out of our Sunday together by heading to MK Summer Feast. I think Milton Keynes gets a bit of a bad rap for being a concrete jungle full of chain restaurants, but scratch the surface a bit and you’ll find a whole community of local foodies putting their heart and soul into local produce, delicious street food and unique home made…
