New Year’s Eve in Iceland

read more

New Year’s Eve need not be over rated, anti-climatic and overpriced. Having spent the last six years in different cities, from London, to Orlando, Las Vegas, New York and Abu Dhabi, we love finding a new destination to enjoy the celebrations of New Years Eve. To ring in 2016 we picked Iceland. Iceland has to be one of […]

Fire & Ice -The Best of Iceland

read more

A trip to Iceland was booked slightly naively, solely to hunt for the Northern Lights. Then realisation dawned that if we didn’t see them it would be a pretty disastrous trip. Fortunately Iceland has so much more to offer, than just the Northern Lights, so much so, we almost forgot they were the sole purpose […]

Time’s Square Ball Drop, New Year’s Eve, New York

Ringing in the New Year, 2015, in New York was amazing. The infamous Ball Drop has to be the place to be in Manhattan on New Year’s Eve. It can be slightly overwhelming trying to figure out the logistics of being in the heart of it all. One million people packed into Time’s Square last […]

Give the Gift of Scent: Landon Tyler

Celebrations

It’s the time of year where all we can think about is buying lovely gifts for friends and family. Landon Tyler have launched a lovely new range of home fragrances that make the ideal gift. They are elegantly packaged and their, simple, yet sophisticated design is a perfect addition to any room. They make beautiful centrepieces. The frosted glass candles and diffusers come in twelve different scents, with something for everyone. The Citrus Grove is our favourite. It is an uplifting combination of refreshing lemon, grapefruit and bergamot. As the candle flickers and the long, dark nights set in, cosy up to the gorgeous scent that fills the room. Diffusers are a great way of eabling the lovely scent to disseminate gently, throughout the day, and making you smile every time you walk into a room. Think clementines, cloves and Norwegian spruce. It’s Christmas in a candle. Landon Tyler capture the traditional, festive spirit with Scent of Christmas. With Christmas lurking round the corner these candles and diffusers make for lovely, affordable gifts and would be sure to be a luxurious addition to any stocking. Who will you be getting a Landon Tyler gift set for this Christmas? Be sure to check out the full range and find your local stockist at Landon Tyler, […]

A Night at the Opera at TWID

A Night at the Opera at TWID

Celebrations Food & Drink

Constantly in search of the next novel experience in London, we just found the first of its kind at TWID, in Battersea.”That’s What I do,” is a fun, dining experience that sees you immersed in live opera. Behind the facade of a converted pub, a peek through the curtains, and you are transported into what appears to be an almost, traditional theatre. There’s something rather exciting about going up the small set of stairs to the private opera boxes. There are interesting stone statues scattered around the restaurant, and clearly a lot of thought has gone into the décor, at first glance. By light of day, the décor is a bit rough around the edges, but as night falls it’s easier to look past the chipboard ceiling and appreciate the romantic booths, and the atmosphere that’s been created. The menu has a nice selection of small plates to choose from, that are ideal to share. They are actually far from small, and rather substantial dishes, and probably no more than five would suffice for two. There’s a call bell on the table, which is genius- if only every restaurant had this. It allows the experience to be private and intimate whilst maintaining attentive service. Sipping on a mojito is always the best way to start the evening. Following the a […]

Café Babalu, Reyjkavik

Café Babalu, Reyjkavik

Food & Drink

After a day exploring Reyjkavik, Café Babulu is a stone throw from the Hallgrimskirkja Church. The quaint establishment is adorned with interesting objects that looked like they were collected from all over the world over numerous years. There were dolls, elves, trolls, and even a retro pac man amongst it all. Notes of money were hanging on the pillars, with a cuckoo clock ticking and coming to life on the hour. A cafe with a lot of character and a really snug, warm homely feel that you won’t want to leave. We couldn’t resist some hot chocolate, topped with whipped cream at the quirky Cafe Babalu. The hot apple crumble was topped with oats and maple syrup and was delectable. We will have to pop back to try the Nutella Cheesecake. This places is so lovely we would recommend it for a special afternoon tea. Café Babalu, Skólavörðustíg 22a, 101 Reykjavík

Christmas Lights, London

Christmas Lights, London

Celebrations Events

With the countdown to Christmas beginning, the festivities are underway in London. The Christmas lights are being switched on across the city in readiness for the the festive season. Carnaby Street is always one of our favourites at Christmas. This year Carnaby Street is adorned with lovely, giant, funky, multicoloured disco balls and the side streets have oversized light bulbs. Taking a stroll towards Regent Street we were lucky to catch the switching on of the Regent Street Christmas lights. Classic FM’s, Myleene Klass and Aled Jones hosted the event, transforming Regent Street into a pedestrianized street. With several stages dotted along the stretch and giant screens there was a great vibe. Live jazz music by The Little Big Band spread Christmas cheer followed by some great classics from Elle and the Pocket Bells. Thousands of people packed into Regent Street to catch festive performances by Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, trumpeter Alison Balsom, soprano Laura Wright, and the Philharmonic Orchestra. Strictly Come Dancing’s judge, Darcy Bussel switched on the lights. The lights sponsored by Jo Malone took a ‘Timeless Elegance,” watch making theme, intricately designed by Belgium-based ACT Lighting Design. They were sophisticated with an understated elegance.
