“Someone left the cake out in the rain. I don’t think I can take it as it took so long to make it, and I’ll never have that recipe again” The sad news hit today, we have lost another music legend and a Queen of that. The Queen of Disco, Donna Summer passed away and I for one felt something. Donna Summer. I mean really. Donna Summer died. The news hit me like a disco ball falling and smashing on the dance floor. My love affair with Donna started from a live DVD I bought years ago. It was an impulse buy and I haven’t looked back since. I played that DVD to death and have since of course bought few albums and...

This week I was invited to attend an exclusive preview of The May Fair Hotel‘s new suite, The Ebony Suite and being a hotel obsessed I decided that I needed to go see what they were serving. The Ebony Suite is the latest suite to be added to the hotels 12 signature suites. All different, all fabulous. I must admit I am truly impressed with this one. It’s the perfect get away for a fun (dirty) weekend. Seriously. The suite I decked out in the latest gear (obviously). Two bedroom heaven as I am now going to be calling it. The lounge area is perfect for drinks with friends (did you know that you can book a suite for a time period...

So. If you remember me going on and on about the new MINI Roadster, well have I got some exciting news. I somehow managed to get hold of one for the last month and I can now confirm that I wasn’t raving on for nothing. This car is a dream. Hello! Dreamy *wink wink* The Mini Bum Bells and all Magical Specs: Built in Oxford making it purely a British car, which in this day and age is a great thing. It boats the latest BMW four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines...

I am perfectly aware that it has been raining non stop for months, however this does not mean that you should not be taking care of your skin. Enter little exfoliation action. I have searched high and low for the best scrubbers out there and below are my favorites (so far). This is of course subject to change at any second, but for now these three I am loving. Loving. Heavenly Scrubs Clarins MEN Origins Bobbi Brown Clarins MEN: The new kid on the block. Clarins has always impressed me with most of the skin care...

I have been living in the UK for a lot longer than I would like to admit and yet have never really seen any of it. Living in London has its advantages, you can fly pretty much anywhere in the world very easily. World really is our oyster and then some. Few months back I was thinking how shameful it was that I have been in this country for the past 14 years and I have not been to the Lake District, Wales, Cornwall, Cotswolds etc. So, this year its the year of the UK. First up, the Cotswolds. Done. As I was looking for somewhere to stay on this excursion, I decided that it not only needed to be pure luxury mixed with country elegance we , but...

I’ve lost another 1kg. Total loss in 5 weeks: 8kg (17.5lbs). As we’ve seen with the weather, it’s not always sunshine and blue skies around. I had a challenging week: loads of travel, a 14 hour day on Thursday, a mild cold and lack of complex carbohydrates had me feeling like a zombie by friday. It left me frustrated as I only squeezed in three workouts for the week, which at least  included my great hotel workout. I took the weekend off from gym. Thorpe Park on saturday with friends. I did well: for lunch I had a Burger King wrap (284cal) a diet coke and my first ever cheat chips. (Kiddy size). Saturday night I let...

When have you ever eaten tomato sauce just because it was that good? Well, I experienced this the other day when visiting Campania Gastronomia on Columbia Road. As you all know, we live in fairly close to Columbia Road and visit the flower market frequently and we have stopped at Campania on few occasions, coffee and a Panini to go and so forth. This week we decided to give it a proper go and go there for lunch. Ladies and gents, I have discovered the best little Italian in East London, without a doubt. I’ll have one of each Coffee and panini to...
