I work professionally in social media and find it rather intriguing when small or local business can leverage channels like Instagram to propel themselves to fame. Case and point – London’s Élan Cafe. Every inch of this charming little café has been designed for the perfect Instagram moment, making it a go-to spot for influencers, bloggers and the people who follow them. So, it’s cute, but is Élan Cafe worth the hype? Read on as I share my honest feedback.
As I sat down to write this post, I was feeling a bit grumpy about 2017. In comparison to other years, for whatever reason, I kept telling myself that 2017 just hasn’t felt as special or as fulfilling. However, a powerful and somewhat surprising thing happened as I went through my photos from 2017. I realized that I was focusing on a handful of tough/hard things that I went through in 2017 and not the bigger picture of the many amazing moments and accomplishments that also happened. Going through this exercise gave me so many reasons to feel grateful for the life I have and what I accomplished in 2017. It also gave me the motivation I needed to keep going and striving for my goals in 2018. Here’s why.
Every so often, an evening takes you by surprise. Such was the case with a recent dinner at City Social. Between beautiful views of the city, artfully styled entrees and delicious wine, it’s been awhile since a Thursday night dinner has been so elegant – for this blogger at least!
Girl’s night is a treasured tradition among my group of friends. We each take turns planning fun night’s out all over London, with each evening completely different from the previous ones. For our most recent girl’s night, we went to Little Italy in Soho. From classic Italian dishes, to an unexpected magic show and a crowd ready to work off their meal with lots and lots of dancing, this venue has a lot to offer – and then some!
I have a confession to make. Up until recently, I had never been to a birthday party for a dog before! So, when I was invited to a 10th birthday party for my dear friend’s dog, I was very excited. From the venue to the food, doggie treats and more, the party was fabulous! Planning a doggie birthday party? Take inspiration from my friend’s soiree!
