There is a gentle luxury to a Sunday. The week fully settles into weekend like how day reclines into dusk with red wine stained smiles and warm, wine-drunk giggles in the company of close friends. Times is a little bit lazier on a Sunday. In the absence of alarm clock jumpstarts, time is characterised by mealtimes. Maybe it is therein that the beauty of a Sunday lunch lies. Despite the late April drizzle pitter pattering against our window making me ache for a morning spent burrowed deep ...
Allium Restaurant: could this be the best Sunday lunch in Barry?
Decorating A Rented House: Summer Bedroom Tour
Let me preface this post with a confession: my house is a mess. I have two toddlers running around. There is plastic tat on every surface. The sofa is now better described as a montage of water stains and sticky finger marks. There is a random travel cot in the living room filled with bits and bobs that don't have a home anywhere else. And you cannot walk the length of a single room without almost falling over a plastic ball that has made its way out of the ballpit and into the bathroom - ...
Wild Thing Cardiff: The Plant Based Cafe Giving Back To The Community
36-38 Cathays Terrace, Cardiff CF24 4HXAs you may have noticed by the whole section on this blog entitled 'Cardiff Eats', I am pretty fond of exploring all the delicious cafes, takeaways, food trucks, and restaurants in my local area.

4 London Foodie Hotspots To Add To Your Itinerary
Recently, my boyfriend and I took a belated birthday trip up to London (childfree!) with the intention of trying a tonne of foodie places we had seen on instagram and tik tok. My boyfriend had booked to take me to Bao in Soho for the evening as he had previously visited and absolutely loved the food they serve there and the whole atmosphere. So, that meant that we had the rest of the day up until that to explore London - and, of course, pick up some snacks along the way. The main objective on ...
My Top Tips On How To Take Better Flatlays
Flatlays are probably one of my favourite types of content to create. As much as I like snapping pics whilst I am out and about and capturing real, in the moment shots, there is more of an art to flatlays that I really enjoy. I guess it makes me feel more creative as you have to consider so many elements like placement and colours and depth and textures. There is also so much more room for experimentation and creativity in flatlay style photography than in the other styles of photography ...
Where To Find The Best Bakes In Cardiff
If you follow my Instagram, you will know by now that I have a fairly sweet tooth. So much so that I basically make it my mission to track down the best sweet snacks my city has to offer. And, since moving to Cardiff, I have been very committed to this mission. I have tried cakes and pastries and donuts from shops and cafes and bakeries across the city (I know, it is a thankless job but someone has got to do it) and have come across some really great places that make amazing stuff. So, I thought ...
