Steak on Six, The Celtic Manor
Not all dining experiences are made equal. Fundamentally, we all know this but sometimes we can forget what ‘great’ really feels like, especially when we become accustomed to eating out, even if it’s at our favourite restaurants or our staple go-tos. I find it’s something that you can easily take for granted, so we tend […]
Getting started with weight training
Whenever people start to incorporate exercise into our routines, most of us will usually turn to cardio to help us get started. Hell, that’s exactly what I did. Running is free and you can go at your own pace – what’s not to love? But what if you’re looking for a little more variety in […]
The Pot Bistro
Although a relatively small city, I believe that we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to eating out in Cardiff. It’s undeniable that the food and drink industry is filled with uncertainty UK-wide right now, especially with the news of Jamie’s Italian going into administration very recently. However, I feel as though our city is […]
A long weekend of living Danishly in Copenhagen
In the past several years, it feels as though elements of Danish culture have been thrust into the limelight, particularly in the UK, with author, Helen Russell, publishing her books, the Year of Living Danishly and most recently, Gone Viking. We can also thank Meik Wiking for his Hygge and Lykke books, which became a […]
How to spend a weekend in Reykjavik
If you have an interest in Viking culture and have the urge to see the Northern Lights, I’m positive that Reykjavik has made it onto your bucket list of destinations. With beautiful landscapes and the promise of so many incredible experiences, there’s a reason why Iceland saw over 2 million visitors in 2017. To put […]
How to spend a weekend in Prague
Following to 1989 Velvet Revolution which saw the Czech Republic freed from communism, Prague has become one of Europe’s most beloved cities and is considered an increasingly popular weekender hotspot, even more so over the past several years thanks to the frequency of flights and the overall affordability of the destination. As the city nicknamed […]
X Scream, Rhondda Heritage Park
With Halloween just around the corner, horror films are being dusted off and making appearances in households across the country. Despite fighting the urge initially, many of us will usually end up screaming at the characters on our TV screens with commands like, ‘Don’t go in there!’ or simply ‘Just run.’ We learnt this response […]
Camden Market
For those visiting London, Camden market has become an incredibly popular attraction and has been a secure part of the city’s history since 1974. Originally, it only housed 16 stalls and was only open on Sundays but now, Camden market is home to over 1,000 stalls with a diverse offering of food, creative stalls and […]
Oakwood Theme Park
Choosing to experience things that scare you might seem like a crazy idea. But that’s the whole premise of theme parks and in that particular case, it’s all part of the thrill. For many, theme parks are something that you tend to leave behind or forget about as you get older and life gets a […]
Viva Organic
If you haven’t heard about the zero waste movement in the past few months, where have you been? Across social media and especially in Cardiff, there’s definitely been more awareness and concern around reducing plastic waste and it’s a discussion that has probably been a long time coming, especially after the broadcast of David Attenborough’s […]
