March has been a crazy month – how has it been glorious sunshine one minute and snowing the next?! Like just pick a season!!!
Anyway, let’s catch up over my March debrief…

DOPPIO MALTO – METROCENTRE (AD)
I took a little trip to Italy earlier this week when I headed along to the Metrocentre to visit the latest addition to their food quarter – Doppio Malto!
Known for its motto ‘un posto felice’ – a happy place – Doppio Malto offers a beautiful, vibrant setting with vivid coloured walls filled with art, cosy botanical corners and bright lights all around. A smile graced my face the moment I arrived, and I can tell you now it stayed there til I left.
I was invited along for an exclusive evening of beer tasting and menu sampling and let me tell you, I was not prepared for what went down…
Continue readingFebruary: The Debrief
Right I said the same thing last month as well but WHERE did February go? I can’t believe how quick this year is going, it’s actually quite scary.
It’s been yet another busy month (surprise, surprise!) so let’s catch up over my February debrief…
January: The Debrief
I hate to be THAT person but seriously, where did January go?! I can’t quite believe we’re one whole month into 2022 already.
I said I wanted to get back into my blogging this year and so at the end of each month I’m going to do a little debrief of what’s been happening in my life – what I’ve been watching/where I’ve been going. That kind of thing!
January has actually been quite a busy month with highs, and lows. I suffer with anxiety and that has been quite bad the past few weeks but I’m getting there and trying new things to help with that…which kind of leads me on to what I’ve been up to!
First up…
AUTUMN BUCKET LIST!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Autumn is my favourite season! I’m so happy it’s that time of year once again- the leaves are changing colour, the nights are getting darker and it’s time to wrap up in aaaaall of the knitwear!
To celebrate this wonderful season, I’ve come up with a little Autumn to-do list for the next couple of months.
Angry Birds Adventure Golf at intu Metrocentre
The first ever Angry Birds Adventure Golf course has opened at intu Metrocentre and Adam and I were so excited to be invited along for a game earlier this month, just after we’d visited the Arctic Experience. We both absolutely love mini/crazy golf and we’re both pretty competitive- there have been many times in our relationship already where we’ve fallen out playing games. Ok, I say ‘we’ but what I mean is that I’ve taken the huff because I’m a bad loser – oops!
VIP Night At Master Debonair!
Earlier this month Adam and I were invited along to a VIP evening at Master Debonair, the independent menswear retailer in East Boldon. The invite came through at the perfect time as we’d literally JUST been looking at suits that day ready for a wedding Adam is attending this summer – so we couldn’t wait to get there and have a look around!
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.

Inflata Nation Launch!
I don’t know about you but when I was a kid I absolutely LOVED soft play areas and ball parks. I remember when I was a little too old to play in them, I’d still go along with my younger cousins and pretend I was ‘looking after them’ in order to go in and have a turn myself!
When I got the email inviting me along to the VIP launch of Inflata Nation in North Shields my eyes lit up. An indoor inflatable theme park for children AND adults?! Count me in!
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!
