So, it was my birthday last week and I decided to have a city girl stay-cay with my sisters in London. We had the best time spending a couple of days together at our Airbnb apartment in Kensington. Although we weren’t that far from home it did feel like a little holiday. You can find…

Enfes Turkish
I walk by this restaurant every time I visit Milton Keynes Stadium Way. Each time it’s been super busy which is probably why I’ve avoided it thus far. We recently went to watch a movie at the Odeon and since Enfes was next door I decided to make reservations to have lunch beforehand. The restaurant…

New Skill Unlocked – Embroidery!
One of my biggest regrets of 2020 was not using all that time stuck at home to learn more! So, this year I have made it a personal goal to be more productively and learn at least 2 new skills. As a child I use to watch my mum embroider for hours, she handmade my…
Madhu’s of Mayfair
My sister made us a reservation for Madhu’s to go the day after Eid and I am so glad she did! We had a super lowkey Eid and didn’t do much so it was nice to get out and celebrate. I had seen mixed reviews for Madhu’s where some people loved it and others thought…
Hot Air Balloon Ride
Last year for my birthday I was lucky enough to be gifted tickets for a Virgin hot air balloon ride! At the time with all the rules surrounding Covid and lockdown, I wasn’t able to use them until recently. The moment restrictions were lifted we went online and booked the next available flight! There are…
Ivy Asia
When we were given the green light for indoor dining the first place we headed to was Ivy Asia. I had been there once before and it was such a great experience that I was eager to sample their cuisine again! The restaurant itself is super pretty, decorated over the top with asian influences. This…
Chocolate Medjool Dates
Happy Ramadan Everyone! For anyone who may not know, during the month of Ramadan we fast for 30 days where we don’t eat or drink between the hours of sunrise and sunset. To break our fasts we traditionally eat a date and one of my favourite things to do is cover the dates in chocolate…
Birthday ParTEA!
I feel like I’m kinda perfecting the art of a lockdown birthday party! Anyway, my baby sis turned 15 so we had to celebrate in style. We were still in lockdown at the time, which meant we had to get creative. She’s a huge fan of afternoon tea and loves the chance to be a…
Christmas in Lockdown
Christmas 2020, where to start? For us, in the UK we headed back into lockdown, which was heart-breaking for a lot of people. My family and I don’t celebrate Christmas but we needed some fun and positivity, so I planned a festive day and cooked a delicious dinner! It was super last minute and I…
Potter Party!
The annual Harry Potter marathon in my household is always something we look forward to, this year I wanted to make it a little extra special. We had the marathon over Halloween weekend and put together a themed spread for us to enjoy while we binged the films. It turned out super cute and everyone…
