Life is all about balance, but recently my eating habits have been tipping the scales towards 'naughty and nice' more than 'nutritious'. The problem is going out for food with my partner and friends is one of my all-time favourite things to do, which makes eating healthier feel like even more of a struggle. So, [...]
I can confirm that I’ve officially reached the age where coffee shops have replaced cocktail bars as my preferred location for a catch-up. Few things make my heart happier than a comforting mug of coffee and some cosy conversation. If I’m in a cute café and hot chocolate’s also on the menu, even better! If [...]
Considering that you're about to read a post on my food & drinks blog, it should come as no surprise that I enjoy dining out. A lesser known fact about me however is that I love dogs. My TikTok feed is full of dogs being funny, adorable or both and I am definitely that person [...]
It’s been a while since I shared a ‘Spotlight on’ post, but I knew from the moment I heard about Café Sobar that I needed to feature them on Luce in Notts. For any first time visitors to my blog, the ‘Spotlight on’ series focuses on different businesses in Nottingham that I feel deserve to [...]

Happy Hour is any cocktail enthusiast's best [...]
Welcome to my latest 'Spotlight on' blog, a series where I focus on different businesses in Nottingham that deserve to be shouted about. After going to Luisa’s Vegan Chocolates for the first time last week, I honestly couldn’t wait to write this blog! Run by Luisa and her daughter Isabella, the team at Luisa's Vegan [...]
I’ve lived in Nottingham my whole life (apart from six months spent in Birmingham but that's a story for another time!) and even though I love to travel, I can’t picture myself calling anywhere else home. There’s so many things that make Nottingham a great city and it’s an especially exciting place to live if [...]
