Nevermind winter is coming. In the North East, winter is most definitely here. We’ve had snow, winds, ice and many days of minus temperatures. So it’s time to whip out the big coat.

Discovering Hexham’s Restaurants
Hexham is a lovely town that’s about half an hour’s drive outside of Newcastle city centre. It’s an old market town, with beautiful architecture, cobbled streets and, as it turns out, a whole host of delicious restaurants. Hexham is definitely worth a visit from the city centre and you can get the train from Central Station regularly and cheaply.
Dessert On Demand at Creams, Newcastle
Hello, my name is Jennifer and I am a sugar addict. I’m a full-blown sugar monster, I just don’t seem to be able to kick the filthy habit. So when I got invited to try Creams in Newcastle, I just couldn’t turn it down. A restaurant dedicated solely to desserts? Hubba hubba.
Côte Brasserie – A Taste of France in Newcastle
There seem to be a whole load of new restaurants popping up in the Toon, and I am all for it. In fact, you can check out some of my other recent restaurant reviews here. One of the latest is Côte Brasserie, a smart French restaurant on Grainger Street that’s taken over from another shut down bank.
Feeling Uncomfortable In Front Of The Camera
Well, this post is a bit of a ramble, so please forgive me, but I wanted to share how I’m feeling because I’m willing to bet I’m not the only one.

Star Crossed Lovers – The ASOS Leather Jacket of Dreams

Which Urban Decay Naked Palette Should You Buy?
Ahhhh, Urban Decay, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love your punky attitude, I love your celebrity collaborations (Gwen Stefani ♥) and most of all, I love your eye shadow palettes. The Naked palettes are LEGENDARY in the beauty world and there is a good reason why. Time and again, they bring out on-trend shades, giving you endless looks in one easy to use palette. Now, there are 3 “classic” Naked palettes, 2 “specials” (Smoky and Heat) and a whole sub-range of Naked Basics. That’s a lot of shade to choose from. So where do you start?
A Beauty Retreat in the Heart of Newcastle
I have a bit of a funny relationship with John Lewis – even though it’s in the middle of Eldon Square, I don’t often pop in there for a browse like I frequently do in Fenwick. I think it’s because I think of John Lewis as a bit old fashioned and a bit expensive. I tend to look there for presents for other people, not for myself. So when they invited me down to check out their beauty hall recently, I couldn’t say no. I wanted to find out what I’d been missing out on!
Five Beauty Products I WON’T Be Repurchasing
Buying a skincare or beauty product is quite often a risk – you get something and you hope it will work. I quite often buy things on recommendation from friends, from the beauty press or from other beauty bloggers. In fact I talked about this a little bit recently in my post about whether you can really trust a beauty blogger. But like I said, spending your money on new beauty is a gamble. Today I’m sharing five gambles that didn’t pay off.
