New Jersey Nights at Bournemouth’s Pavilion

•Press tickets• Last night I headed back to the Pavilion in Bournemouth to see New Jersey Nights with my nan and some fellow Bournemouth Bloggers. Although I knew that it was a tribute to Frankie Vali and The Four Seasons, I didn’t really know much about the show, or the band for that matter, as they were in the charts a little before my time. I had taken my nan...

A Minibreak at Inn in the Park, Poole

•Complimentary stay• The Bournemouth Bloggers have been working with Inn in the Park, in Poole, over the past month to help promote the venue and their restaurant menu. As part of this, Ed and I were invited along to enjoy a stay with dinner, and it was the perfect chance to spend some quality time together as a couple, and reconnect after a rather stressful few months. Although our favourite...

Going Lighter with Simone Thomas

•Complimentary appointment• Ever since my first visit to the Simone Thomas salon in Westbourne, I knew I was onto a winner. The team are all so friendly, and the welcome I receive every time is second to none. Not only is the salon perfectly located, in the heart of Westbourne, and just a short drive or bus journey from central Bournemouth, but you can tell that the staff really care...

Summer Loving

•Features gifted items• I couldn’t help humming along to Summer Nights from Grease when I chose this title, but as summer is now upon us, I figured it was a brilliant time to showcase some of the new products available from So Divine. I have previously worked with So Divine, and continue to love everything about the adult toy brand from their website, to their sleek packaging, right down to...

Exploring Bournemouth, Poole & The Jurassic Coast with City Sightseeing

•Gifted tickets• The summer holidays are upon us and, as parents, we have been trying to find new activities to do to keep the kids entertained whilst they are off school. Living in a seaside town, we are lucky to have the beach just a short drive away as a fallback, but sometimes it is nice to try something new, and to explore the area with fresh eyes. City Sightseeing...

Jesus Christ Superstar Comes to Bournemouth Pavilion

•Guest Post from Rachael at The 15 Mile Foodie•   Thanks to some last minute ticket availability from Bournemouth Bloggers, Wednesday night I was lucky enough to watch Jesus Christ Super Star at Bournemouth Pavillion.   Bournemouth and Boscombe Light Opera are Bournemouth’s biggest amateur musical company and on opening night they pulled off a fantastic performance of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice production that originally hit the...

5 Things I’ve Been Loving Lately

•Features gifted items• I haven’t put together one of these posts in ages, so I thought what better time than at the start of the school holidays when the kids, and Ed, are off school and I have a bit more time on my hands to enjoy those things I have been loving lately. NOW CDs I was recently sent over two new CDs from the NOW Music collection. Both...

The Zodiac Collection from Hersey & Son

•Features gifted item• I love jewellery. There is something lovely about a new piece of jewellery, especially when it holds significant meaning to you. Hersey & Son London Silversmiths, one of the few remaining traditional silversmiths in the UK, have a fantastic range of jewellery to choose from, and their Zodiac Collection, is brilliant if you are shopping for a special gift for somebody, or looking to treat yourself. The...

Learning a New Skill with Jet Ski Safaris

•Press event• If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile you may know that I suffer from generalised anxiety disorder. I struggle with some social situations because of this, and it does make it harder for me to come outside of my comfort zone and try new things. I was so, so nervous before our session with Jet Ski Safaris. I had never been on a jet ski before, and...

Homemade Tasty Waffles in Minutes

•Features gifted item• I never used to be a big fan of waffles in the past, always choosing pancakes over them. Last year, I had them with maple syrup and bacon and they were a total game changer for me when it came to eating breakfast out. I haven’t ever made them myself before, but when I was asked if I would like to try out the Dual Round Waffle...
