New On My London Guide: Megan’s, No 32 The Old Town, Oriole, The Barbary Notting Hill, The Ivy Tower Bridge

It’s time for another update of my London Guide! If you are new to my blog, I used to live in Boston and now I have lived in London for ten years. I have a great Boston Guide which I update regularly with my trips home and I also update my London Guide monthly. Both guides are completely free and all are places I have personally visited, with my honest feedback. If this little old blog ever gets big enough to enjoy a comped meal, I’ll make sure to disclose it.

Now that we have covered that housekeeping, let’s get into the good stuff. Namely – five new restaurants on my London Guide, including Megan’s at the Battersea Power Station, No 32 The Old Town in Clapham, Oriole, The Barbary Notting Hill, and The Ivy Tower Bridge. Let’s dig in!

Free samples are especially clutch when you travel as much as I do. Here are five recent products – serums, moisturizers and primers – that I have tried out from Estée Lauder, Dr. Dennis Gross and Caudalie. What would I re-purchase and recommend? What didn’t make the cut? Read on!

London: A Visit To The Instagram-Famous Élan Cafe

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.

I recently had the pleasure of traveling home to Boston and Connecticut for a few days. The reason? My Dad’s birthday! Unfortunately, what I didn’t expect was how snowy it would be. The snow put a bit of a crimp in my plans, but I still made the most of it.

Here are a few highlights from my trip.
