#117 Where Amy Ate – Stateside Diner, Newcastle Upon Tyne
Welcome to the newest feature on Cocktails in Teacups, Where Amy Ate. I have made no secret in the fact I love to eat out. I don’t do it much since leaving the city and if I do it’s usually in my hometown. I try to mention as little about here as possible. But when I’m away for the day or the weekend, one of the best things is being able to eat out. I am known for going to the same places, Nandos, Wetherspoons, Frankie and Bennys but I’ve decided to make this feature work, I’m going to try new places. As I mentioned on my Weekly Wardrobe post,…

North East Body Shop Event
As I mentioned on my Weekly Wardrobe post, on Friday I attended a Body Shop event held in Newcastle and hosted by Maddie. Despite having severe train trouble (the train sat on the platform for an HOUR before departing due to a thunderstorm knocking out the lines) I arrived only 10 minutes late and even then it didn’t start straight away giving me time to meet up with some lovely bloggers i’d previously met at the Benefit Fake Up event or I regular chat to on twitter. I was especially pleased to see Louise of Confetti Letters, Chloe of Chloe Witty and Tasha of Hello Freckles. We were all greeted…

#115 Models Own at Littlewoods.com Review
A couple of weeks back I was contacted by the lovely Laura of Talented Talkers. She had come across my blog and was interested in introducing me to some brands, one being Littlewoods which are currently running a nail care campaign. I jumped at the chance having only just started to take interest in my nails since moving home. I’m slowly building up a nice collection of colours and I do have my nails painted most days. Firstly, when you think of Littlewoods, do you think of nail polish? No, I didn’t either, until now. After being informed by Laura that Littlewoods do indeed stock nail polish I headed over…

The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick Review
Meet Pat. Pat has a theory: his life is a movie produced by God. And his God-given mission is to become physically fit and emotionally literate, whereupon God will ensure a happy ending for him — the return of his estranged wife Nikki. (It might not come as a surprise to learn that Pat has spent time in a mental health facility.) The problem is, Pat’s now home, and everything feels off. No one will talk to him about Nikki; his beloved Philadelphia Eagles keep losing; he’s being pursued by the deeply odd Tiffany; his new therapist seems to recommend adultery as a form of theraphy. Plus, he’s being hunted…

MAC Sounds Like Noise & Hang Up Lipstick Reviews
I had planned to write a book review tonight however after a really awful day I just haven’t felt like it so instead I’m posting a scheduled post early. I’m really struggling at the minute, this really rubbish year is catching up on me now, bad luck at every turn. It just seems to be weekly. Big sigh! Anyway (without getting too soppy), I just want to say blogging is what keeps me going. All the lovely supportive comments and really nice girls on twitter for daily chats about all sorts of subjects. I’m so glad I started this, it’s something nice to focus on when things get too much.…
