Is there a better way to spend a cold Monday evening in December than tasting Champagne, cava, Cremant and other lovely fizz? I don’t think so and that’s exactly what I spent a few hours doing this week at Brigitte Bordeaux in Sherwood, Nottingham. A wine bar tucked into a suburb of Notts that I’ve never visited before but heard loads of fun and interesting things about from my fizz loving girls.

Recently I headed to check out the brand new Poundland store (actually their largest ever store, can you believe?) in Nottingham’s Riverside Retail Park. This is the largest Pep&Co fashion and homes departments in the country with loads of brands like Russell Hobbs, Rimmel, Lenor, Cadburys, you name it – they got it!

Lucky Nottingham we’ve been graced with the presence of Hickory’s Smokehouse and before I even saw it was open myself I’d heard lots about it. We tried for weeks to get booked in and finally got in on a Wednesday evening – the first slot available! This isn’t a sponsored or a gifted experience we headed down ourselves as we love barbecue food and just had to try it.

The brand new ‘crazy golf for adults’ venue in George Street, Hockley is 100% LadBible fodder, a prime stag event venue and perfect for student Instagram accounts. Glory Holes is very try hard and badly done. The staff are all out there to ‘shock’, including the security staff playing down their Covid rules and the manager wearing his mask around his chin whilst saying ‘grab a ball from my sack’. I’m eye-rolling even writing this.

Post in collaboration with Nicole’s Beauty Nottingham a lovely at-home salon in East Bridgford. Nicole kindly gifted me a set of lashes as I wanted to trial whether I’d like them for our wedding and she talked me through the four main options that she has on offer so I wanted to share them with everyone in case it’s a treatment you’re interested in getting. On a side note, Nicole has a very stringent set of policies in relation to Covid-19 so no worries there at all.

Gifted treatment & affiliate links
Let’s talk hair. I’ve been every colour under the sun thanks to those good old teenage years of the Scene. If you know, you know – our poor hair! Despite this, my hair is in pretty good condition apart from a little breakage on one side which I’m convinced is down to the way I sleep. Right side of my head only, always.

After all the Christmas treats, stuffing balls and mince pies we fancied a bit of different grub for a Sunday and recently headed to check out Red Dog Saloon‘s new Whole Hog Sunday offering. This has only been around since the 9th December so it’s a pretty new menu and we were invited to see what we thought.

You’re about to see a lot of Italian tasty treats heading your way over the next two months because I have some exciting news. I’ve become a Very Important Bella for Bella Italia and it’s my job until the end of the year to let you know what the absolute most delicious things are on the menu and what’s good for which occasion! They have supplied me with an amazing Gold Card and you can guess what that means.

A super quick but super yummy post for you all this week. Thorntons were lovely enough to invite me down to their new Intu Victoria Centre shop this week for a quick whizz round the bijou store and a whistle-stop tour of their Christmas collection. Obviously, it was chocolate so I was more than happy to pop down after work and the staff were so lovely, kind and helpful and the products are so cute that I just wanted to share a little Christmassy joy.
