Dreams come true. They really do! I have been dreaming of having that hot chocolate at The Angelina in Paris for many years. I didn't have a British passport till 2 years ago and I didn't want to go through the hassle of visas to travel to Europe. So I waited a whole 13 years [...]
I stumbled upon Devocion when a friend discovered my coffee blog and encouraged me to pay a visit. I wasn't aware that there could be such a thing as the 'freshest coffee available bean to cup' or of the concept of 'sparkling coffee' both of which are available at Devocion. I organised to visit the [...]
I have been visiting The Lowell for years and needless to say, it is a home away from home but rarely did I spend the amount of time I did during this trip, mingling with guests, the team at Jacques and The Club Room and realising how well connected the place can be if you [...]
Nothing beats waking up early in New York to make my way downtown to SoHo. I don't know if it is just me, but SoHo feels like another city. It is chic, bright and the coffee shops are another level of trendy. I had arranged prior to leaving to New York to meet with Maribel, [...]
I was nervous before the big trip. I was flying back to New York after exactly 20 months and it was hard to believe that the time had arrived. Something in me felt like it was just yesterday that I was in Manhattan. However, another part of me knew deeply that a lot of time [...]
I interviewed Ozohu during the pandemic remotely but I had the pleasure to meet her in person this autumn which I am extremely glad about. Meeting Ozohu in person made me realise how much I have missed connecting with female entrepreneurs and leaders. When I met Ozohu in person, we immediately connected over life and [...]
My first trip as an adult to New York was in 2014. It was a hot summer and I was in the city for a brief visit. I treated myself to a special night at The Mark Hotel which was exceptional and swanky. Some industry colleagues told me about it in London and it seemed [...]
I promised myself that even though 2020 restricted us from meeting new people easily I wouldn't stop reaching out to interesting female entrepreneurs who inspired me and had a special story to share. I have always been very careful about the skincare I use. I try to keep my routine as simple as possible and [...]
This year has done unthinkable things to me. I missed New York mentally. I still do. But I began thinking about all the places I missed and how could I recreate those specific desserts at home. An American Pie and Banana Cream Pudding aren't available here. So I had to find a way to curb [...]
In October, during our limited freedom to mingle and meet people, I met Clare Price for an extended brunch in Notting Hill! We were so happy to be able to connect after a very tiresome summer. We still felt the looming anxiety on what was next with the pandemic but we also felt grateful that [...]
