  • London Nail Salon Discovery: Nailgirls

    There are a zillion neon-lit nail shacks on every high street but sometimes you just fancy somewhere well a little fancy. I’d heard of Nailgirls, the London-created, four-free nail polish brand but only recently discovered their Islington salon when I booked a £30 manipedi offer. Located in the posh bit of Islington, the salon has quite a…

  • Free Exhibition, London: Bedlam Down There

    Bedlam, a free exhibition currently on in the Old Vic tunnels under Waterloo Station, curated by the Lazarides Gallery.  The collection of “outsider art” (the gallery’s term), focuses on the themes of mania, chaos, confusion and nightmares. Stepping into the pitch black entrance down a ramp immediately discombobulates.  Spread across the warren of dank tunnels beneath…

  • See Movie Magic: Black & White (in Colour)

    Watch this black and white film turn to colour, without any digital trickery, just a very clever, painstaking process. Made by Eran Amir, you can see the behind the scenes of how he did it here.

  • Breathtaking: Dreamy Flower Tunnel in Japan

      How breathtaking are the Kawachi Fuji Gardens in Japan? I think I might cry at the beauty if I were to see this in real life. Mid-April to Mid-May is generally when the wisteria is in bloom and there is an annual wisteria festival at the same time as the more famous cherry blossom.…

  • Williams Sisters Heading to Nigeria

    http://youtu.be/khkUEGTrhB0 How exciting. Venus and Serena are making their first trip to Africa next month on a three-day visit to Nigeria as part of the Breaking The Mould initiative.

  • Recipe: 30-Second Strawberry and Pink Peppercorn Ice-cream (Vegan, dairy-free)

    My name is Lynda and I’m an Icecreamaholic. I think people who only eat ice cream in the summer are frankly amateurs. When giving directions, my landmarks are often gelaterias. I’ve been known to have it for breakfast. So when Kavey tweeted a pinterest board full of ice cream yesterday, I was practically licking the…

  • Persian Feast To Tantalise Your Tastebuds

    Well I finally popped my supper club cherry at Sabrina’s Persian Kitchen and it was so worth the wait. I love Middle Eastern mezze style cuisine and am continually getting in touch with my inner Homer Simpson drooling over pictures of Sabrina’s cooking. So when she recently announced supper club dates, I didn’t think twice about…

  • Umbrella Sky ~ Agueda, Portugal

  • Street Art – Food For Thought….

    Would like to know who this is by and where it is? Anyone know?

  • Beauty is Art? NARS Launches Andy Warhol Collection

      I rarely get excited about makeup limited editions. Too many brands do them too often and they are usually rather lame. So bravo and wigs off to Nars for this collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation which looks stunning and properly thought out. Not sure if it will available in UK. Oh well might have…

  • Courage.Inspiration.Sweat.Love: London 2012

    London 2012 posters created by leading British artists, including Tracey Emin, for the Paralympics. The originals are on display at Tate Modern until 23 September 2012.  Check out the full set of 12 including those created for the Olympics here. Which is your favourite?        

  • Miami Advice: World’s Most Glam Hostel Opening Soon

    Miami, hip hotel capital of the world, does glam hotels in spades. I handled the UK PR for the Greater Miami CVB for nearly a decade so have seen my fair share of Miami hotel rooms. The words glam and hostels however don’t go quite so hand in hand. The Freehand, a new hostel, due…

  • Touching the Torch (London 2012 Olympics)

    I’m an Olympicaholic and was desperate to touch or see an Olympic medal or Olympian during London 2012. Well I did get to see a medal – in fact, I saw hundreds – every single one since 1904 at an Olympic Exhibition at the Royal Opera House. Doesn’t count though does it? And here I…

  • Shrimpy’s: Soft Shell Crab Burger Love

    To save you walking around like a wally – the entrance is around the back of this. Service started strangely, I was actually told to shush by barwoman when I asked to be served having waited quietly for about 15 minutes in half-empty restaurant. Then was ignored for another 5 minutes. Luckily I was in…
