Experiencing the Botanical Hair Wash at LUSH HairLab Poole

Press Visit  Recently I attended the launch event of the brand new LUSH HairLab in Poole and I had such a fantastic time. This is one of only 3 in the whole world, with another in the UK being located in Brighton, so this was so interesting to be able to come and take a look and be shown around the venue by none other than my lovely PR contact...

Annie Comes to Bournemouth Pavilion!

Press Invite  The sun really will come out tomorrow with the beloved story of orphan Annie as the BBLOC stage show plays in Bournemouth this week! I mistakenly thought I had seen the film previously, but think I must have missed most of it as I didn’t know what was coming in the storyline, which always makes watching a stage show fun! Of course I knew a couple of the...

An Indulgently Funny Night at Charlie & The Chocolate Factory

Press Tickets  It’s half term this week and I am working, so it was really lovely to be able to take some time out Wednesday evening and head to Bournemouth Pavilion with my husband and my youngest (my other two children are away for the week) for the opening night of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory on stage. The show is being performed by the very talented BBLOC, a local...

Why You Simply Must Spend a Day at The Nici Spa This Spring

I am fortunate enough that my dad is a member of The Nici Bournemouth’s spa, which allows him to bring along a guest once a month. For the past couple of months, I have been along with him and enjoyed all the benefits that spa members enjoy. The best news? You can enjoy the facilities for a day at a fairly affordable price, even if you don’t know somebody who...

A Spring Seaside Stay at Marriott Bournemouth

Press Stay  Although I live in Bournemouth, I am not adverse to a little staycation, especially as we are in the process of moving house at the moment and things at home are fairly stressful, plus Bournemouth is such a beautiful place to be when the sun is shining, so a stay at Marriott Bournemouth was absolutely perfect! I took along my mum, who is always so helpful with looking...

A Night to Remember – Rocky Horror Show at Bournemouth Pavilion

Press Invite  Rocky Horror is one of those shows that stick with you long after you watch it. When I first went to see it on stage, at Bournemouth Pavilion several years ago now, I was instantly a fan of this loud and proud musical masterpiece that just isn’t afraid to push boundaries when it comes to set, costume and script. So I was really excited to be heading back...

Jack and The Beanstalk at Bournemouth Pavilion

Press Tickets  Last night we were invited along to the press launch for Jack and the Beanstalk at Bournemouth Pavilion, along with some of my lovely blogger friends, and it was a fantastic night!

Immersive Dining on Bournemouth Pier at Key West

Press Invite  I have loved Halloween since it became a bigger deal in the UK several years ago so I was really happy when I was invited along to the immersive dining experience at Key West on Bournemouth Pier. The Overlook Hotel was put on by Histoire Productions and the whole evening was themed around The Shining, which is one of my favourite classic horror films (I am a massive...

Ghost The Musical – Bournemouth Pavilion

Press Tickets  What can I say? As soon as I was invited to Ghost: The Musical, I knew it would be amazing. I eagerly anticipated the opening night and I was not disappointed. Unlike most of the shows I have been to see, Ghost is one of those films I have seen so many times, the words are engrained on my mind, much like Dirty Dancing. I was invited along...
