Where Amy Ate – Zapatista, Newcastle
It’s been a while since I did a Where Amy Ate post, mainly because the only places I eat out in are Costa or Cafe Nero ha. However today I was invited down to Newcastle to meet up with Rachel, Sian & Vicki as all the ladies like good food, I knew I was going to get a decent meal in a great restaurant. We had originally planned to go to the Fat Hippo for burgers however they don’t let you book a table during the day and when we arrived it was a 20 minute wait for a table then a 40 minute wait for food! No thank you!…

Christmas Ideas for Sisters 2014
ALL LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Onto my third Christmas gift guide today, this time it’s ideas for sisters. Like with all my gift guides (except my ultimate Disney gift guide) I base my finds on things my own family would like. This time obviously, my finds are based on my sister’s likes. My sister is very fashionable, into her high end beauty and hair and of course, she loves Disney. So expect to find anything related to those sort of things in this idea guide! Once again I’ve divided the guide into three price categories in hope it will help people with all budgets…

Wall Create Canvas Review & Giveaway
One of my favourite things about having a house I’m fully in charge of is deciding what I’m going to put on the walls. I have to be honest and say that 99% of what’s on my walls is either photos, Disney or travel related, some are even all three. So I do love when I’m offered the chance to review something that I can put on my walls. A few weeks back Wall Create contacted me and offered me the chance to review a 40cm x 30cm canvas of a photo of my choosing. I was over joyed as at the moment I’m collecting canvases of photos I’ve taken…

The Ultimate Disney Gift Guide for Adults
ALL LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE. I won’t lie, I spend a lot of my time hunting the net for Disney related adult friendly paraphernalia and today while I was browsing like I do most Sunday’s I decided it would be fun to put together the Ultimate Disney Gift Guide for Adults including gift ideas for men and women of all prices. I have scoured the internet for things that are Disney, available to UK residents and suitable for nice for adults. But if you still can’t find that SPECIAL Disney gift you’re after, I cannot recommend Etsy enough. I have bought a lot of…

Paul Mitchell “The Gift of Style” Event
Last night I was lucky enough to attend another Paul Mitchell event. I went to one back in May, and it was actually one of my favourite blogger events to date. So on hearing of another one, I jumped at the chance. Since my original event, I have been a Paul Mitchell convert and I swear by the Dry Wash for ensure I don’t need to wash my hair more than twice a week, it’s a godsend! Once again the event was held at one of Newcastle’s Gary Hedley Salons but unfortunately this time Gary couldn’t be there so I was thankful to have met him last time. However the…
