Good Morning Lovelies, 

Who doesn’t love a game of Bingo? For me, there are many memories that I have of being little and taking party in a fun kids version whilst on holiday. I also went to a rather party based one at Butlins a few years ago now, which I also adored. I wish so much that there was a closer Bingo hall where I lived. A fun version of it though, not one all about money! 

Luckily, the fantastic TOBY team have come up with just the thing, as they have made a bingo game with everything we love. However, it comes with a slight change! It’s all about logo’s! 

Taking familiar logo signs and applying them to cards, Logo Bingo, follows the exact same rules that we all know. However, instead of numbers, the logo signs are called out instead. Putting your knowledge to the test, you must complete the board before everyone else to win. 

Upon getting a very kind sample of the game, I asked my family to gather round because for one night only (plus many more to come aha!), I became the ultimate bingo caller. And honestly, never have I seen my home more alive than it was as we played this game! 

From loud shouting to under breath swearing, a few angry shouts and a winners cheer, the game brought out all the emotions. The most though being happy laughter. Bingo is a game that the whole family can join in with. Logo Bingo has that quality but in a fun stylish way. You end up coming away more loyal to certain brands than others. The ones that don’t let you win become your least favourites when shopping aha! 

If you are having the family round this Easter then this is the game to get. Once the big Easter feast is done, get the chocolate out as the prize and put the family to the test! You will be amazed at what you see! I promise you! Mostly though, you will simply love the fun it brings and the smiles it creates. Logo Bingo is the ultimate winner this year!

Good Morning Lovelies, 

Christmas may be nine months away, however, I have been getting stuck into preparing for it already! Last month, I introduced myself to diamond art. Now, I can’t stop making things. Something that has stemmed into a bit of a Christmas theme creating session! 

I’ve made a diamond art wreath and a set of eight coasters so far, which I hope to apply setting spray, to help the sequins stick more securely. We will be getting them out when it is Christmas time to ensure that everyone gets a chance to use them for now though, I have put them away to get stuck into the next bunch. 

I’ve already ordered another wreath to design and am going to be doing some big searches and shopping sessions first pictures to create using diamond art. I may even get some Christmas cards that you can apply diamonds too and gift to my nearest and dearest. 

By spending a few hours and only £10 at most, I’ve got new decorations and a better mental health activity. I simply can’t get enough! Even if my floor has with the amount of gems on it! Even after hoovering as much as my mum can, we are still finding them everywhere. It seems our home was just made to sparkle like a Christmas tree aha! 

Amazon is a great place to find affordable creations from £2 lovelies, so if you fancy giving them a go have a look there. My delivery man must think I am crazy if he knows what is in them, however, I’m loving knowing that my home will have a more personal touch this festive season!

Top of the Morning to you Lovelies! 

Today marks one of the best days of the year to me, St Patrick’s Day! I adore everything to do with Ireland, often dreaming, wishing and anting to be back there! Next year, I will be returning to Dublin, no matter what, due to a special time in my life! For now though, I am going to spend today celebrating it by planning my return aha! 

If you have never been to Ireland, there are so many amazing places to see. However, Dublin is my special place. It’s where my heart feels most at home. From the moment I first went on my 21st birthday, I’ve told everyone to go if they can. If they ask me where to go I suggest so many places too. 

Five of those places, I am going to share with you all right now! They are must see, so if you are also planning a trip you have to try and fit the following in lovelies. They are…

Jameson Whiskey Distillery Tour: It may be controversial to say but I feel like this is better than the Guinness tour. Unlike with the one mentioned, the Jameson tour provides a guide to take a group of you around the history of the making process, before samples and sips are handed out. I need to go back and get myself one of the glasses still! 

The Little Museum of Dublin: Hidden away from view, this museum could easily be missed. However, if you can find it, you have to go inside. There are rooms dedicated to all things Irish! Including a U2 themed room! Just don’t jump at the,rage, signed, Mrs Brown stood at the side of one room like we did. 

The Guinness Factory: You can’t go to Dublin and not explore the Guinness factory. I haven’t seen someone go where they haven’t experienced something new. The place is always changing to give guests the best experiences possible. Right now, you can have your face printed onto a pint! I know mine would definitely have to be a frothy one to fit the frizz in aha! 

Dublin Zoo: One of the best zoos I have ever been too! Full of spacious places for the animals to roam, it never feels cramped or like the animals aren’t comfortable. Based in Phoenix Park, which is where the President of Ireland lives as well, it is a beautiful place to spend the day. You can even take the open top bus to it. 

Christ Church Cathedral/Dublinia: If I remember correctly, these two are joint together, however if I am wrong then the cathedral is an essential viewing. There is a point within it that you can see most of Dublin from and it is simply stunning. When I look out of it, I try to find my dream home. I’ve found many! 

There are so many places I could mention to you lovelies! From Grafton Street to the Ha’penny Bridge, the whole place makes me come alive! I hope that if you are heading to Dublin soon or are currently there that you are loving it as much as I do. Honestly, I miss it right now writing this post. That trip will have to come sooner I now think! 

Have a fantastic St Patrick’s Day lovelies! Raise that Guinness or Jameson’s high in celebration!

Good Morning Lovelies, 

Are you getting excited for BBQ season? Have you started planning your burger recipes? Well, it may be time to because there is a new relish and sauces that are going to elevate them to a whole new level. 

Focusing on the tastes of the American south, The Garden of Eva, is a brand that is changing the market very much for the better. Using ingredients that you might not think would work but bring a great change, watermelon is key in their recipes, mixing it with chilli’s, pickles and more. 

Kindly sent to me by the team to try, I made my mum cook up a few dishes to add them to. Giving off the perfect summer vibes, she decided that the jars of delights needed a proper taste test with a good burger and chips. Something that already made her happy. 

Taking the Chilli-Watermelon Jam first, mum added it to a section of the bun before reforming the burger to try it. Adding a sweet, with a hit of spicy, taste to the meet, my mum stated that it made the meat juicier somehow. Dipping her chips into the jam, she also stated that it was a great taste. One that would work perfectly on dirty fries or as the base to make the dish.

This intrigued her to try the Pickled Watermelon Rind on top of the meat too. A similar thing occurred, which she was very surprised by. My mum is not a fan of watermelon at all. Even touching it is something she hates. Seeing her enjoy a different taste, texture and added flavouring on her burger was really interesting. Her positive reaction even more so. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting her to like it that much, however, she truly surprised me with her praise for it. The Garden of Eva may have just converted her watermelon hatred. 

Finally, mum took the last section of her burger and added the American Southern Chow Chow. A relish filled with cabbage, green vegetables, peppers and more, it certainly has a kick according to my mum, yet it is one that you want on your burger. Perfect on top of a salad too, as my mum has since tried it on, she loved the edge it gave the dish. She was quick to get her friends to try it too, who now also want a jar of the stuff. 

Overall, my mum was really impressed with all the jars she tried. Great on many meals, they will add a kick to your party buffet or BBQ this summer. In fact, it would even be good alongside your Christmas spread. My mum said that the leftover turkey sandwich would be raised to another level using this. 

To get your hands on some of the jars lovelies, head to the company’s website now. However, you will have to be quick, as it is a constant sell out! It’s time to get that watermelon sugar high in a brand new way!
