A tube strike and a ridiculous amount of rain didn’t keep some of you from getting out to Donna Ida this morning for a little shopping with amazing juices by Bumpkin, decluttering advice from Vicky Silverthorn and some freebies from Blink Brow Bar, QMS MediCosmetics and a raffle prize from barrecore. A special thank you […]

You girls know me by now, and you know that I really don’t do the negative review thing (even though some of you have asked for more of them…) But, when someone tries to do Mexican food in London I feel, as a Southern California native, that I must respond. Last night we went to […]
{Eat & Drink} You Can Find Me at The Good Life

If you’re just moving to London, or are looking for a short-term lease, I would definitely recommend visiting Dolphin Square in Pimlico.
