Food of Love: Italian Cooking Masterclass



Italian food has long been considered the food of love and with Valentine’s Day upon us, what better than to find out more about the passion behind Italian cooking.


Bookings For You are a luxury villa company with a difference. Embracing the culinary passions of their villa collaborators, I was invited to an Italian cooking masterclass with the owners of the Country Relais & Spa Le Capanne.


In this post, I will be sharing more about their beautiful holiday rental in Tuscany, the passion behind Italian cooking, as well as provide the sought after recipes to wow your loved one this Valentine’s Day!

This Time Next Year: Goals for 2018



I’m not really one for New Year’s resolutions. Though, last year another blogger tagged me in a #ThisTimeNextYear post and reading my goals for 2017 I can see I actually achieved quite a lot.


Giving yourself goals doesn’t necessarily mean you have to set yourself ridiculously high standards you’ll never be capable of meeting. It’s about giving yourself focus.

Looking back at the previous year and setting goals for 2018

Top 5 Festive Films featuring Panasonic



As Christmas approaches, I quickly go from being The Grinch (why are they playing Christmas songs in October) to Buddy The Elf (all about the glitter) and, there’s literally nothing in between. Once that excitement sets in there’s no stopping me! The sparkly outfits and Christmas jumpers emerge for their annual appearance (though, in all honesty, I love a bit of glitz whatever time of year), the Christmas songs get played and out come my favourite Christmas films.

#WMGlobalTravellers: Lake District


I hadn't camped in fifteen years prior to my #GOCation camping with GO Outdoors in June. I'd never stayed in a hostel or done watersports prior to my recent #WMGlobalTravellers adventure and, the thought of both chilled me to the bone - Yet, here I was signing myself up for a travel lovers trip to the Lake District where I would not only be staying in a hostel, but I would be hiking and participating in various watersports.
