There are certain bars and restaurants in the North East that I see people talk about and praise a lot on social media, and Lola Jeans is one of them.

Forget Diamonds, Thorntons Pearls Are A Girls Best Friend!
They say diamonds are a girls best friend but you know what I love? Pearls!
Don’t get me wrong, if you want to buy me diamonds I’m absolutely fine with that (wink, wink) but I’ve always been drawn to pearls. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I’m a June baby and they’re one of our birthstones! I got a beautiful pearl ring for my 21st birthday and it’s nearly always on my finger.

A couple of weeks ago I was invited along to the VIP launch of the new 1189 Bar & Kitchen at the beautiful Walworth Castle Hotel, just outside of Darlington.
The restaurant has opened it’s doors following a £50,000 refurbishment and I was so excited to head along with Adam and see what the menu had to offer!

My Clarins Skincare Range
I’ve been using Clarins for years now, and it all came about because my Mam swears by their products. I remember when I was younger I was looking for a decent foundation that 1- didn’t make me look like an Oompa Loompa and 2- gave me full coverage that lasted throughout the day. That’s when my Mam took me to Clarins and got me my first Everlasting Foundation – it’s been a constant in my make up bag ever since and I don’t know what I’d do without it.

Things I’m Looking Forward To This Spring
April is here, spring has sprung and I don’t know about you but this time of year always brings a smile to my face. I love the lighter nights, seeing the flowers bloom and just spending time wandering around in the sun!
Sushi School at YO! Sushi intu Metrocentre
Recently I was invited along to YO! Sushi at intu Metrocentre to take part in their Sushi School and I couldn’t wait to get along and get involved!
YO! Sushi is one of my favourite places to go for food, in fact, sushi is one of my favourite foods in general. I absolutely live for Salmon Nigiri and Maki Rolls – I’m actually drooling thinking about them whilst writing this post. I’ve tried to make sushi at home in the past and it wasn’t necessarily a complete disaster, but I was definitely in need of some expert advice if I’m going to make it again!
Netflix Shows to Binge This March!
If you’re anything like me you’ll love nothing more than curling up on the settee on an evening or a weekend, putting Netflix on and finding yourself a good series to binge. Mind, I tend to actually spend most of my time scrolling through lists trying to make a decision on what to watch rather than ACTUALLY putting something on…there’s just so much choice!
We’re a few days into March now and Netflix have announced quite a few new shows/seasons for this month, so I thought I’d tell you about a few that I’m looking forward to.
National Popcorn Day at intu Metrocentre
I don’t know about you but for me, a trip to the cinema isn’t complete without a massive bucket of popcorn, right?
Earlier this month I was lucky enough to be invited along to intu Metrocentre’s ODEON Cinema for the ultimate Gallery experience to celebrate National Popcorn Day – a day that gives the delicious sweet and salty snack the recognition it deserves!
Urban Decay On the Run Palettes
Last Friday I was invited along to the Urban Decay counter of Debenhams at intu Metrocentre for a sneak peak at their brand new palettes.
