Carluccio's Date Night.

Hey guys!

A couple of months ago, at my second job, we had a charity raffle one evening and Jack managed to win us a Meal for two at Carluccio's.

Having moved in together in February, date nights are so important to us as I'm sure you all know. It gives us the time together outside of day to day life at home.

So we got all dressed up and headed out. Luckily Carluccio's is only in the town centre so not too hard to get to.

We thought we would pop and have a drink at the sister pub of where we won the voucher as it is down the road from the restaurant and we could do some people watching as it is also opposite the station. (One of my favourite past times.) It was so nice to relax and have some time together before heading to the restaurant.

Now, Although we had the voucher, we weren't 100% sure what it entitled us to and were very pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a three course meal and a bottle of wine!

We started off with Jack ordering a beer and I had a Bellini as I love them.

I forgot to take pictures of our starters, I had cheesy garlic bread which was on ciabatta bread and tasted amazing, so I saved some to go with my main, and Jack had calamari.

For Mains, I had Spinach and Ricotta ravioli in butter which is my all time favourite from there, although I hadn't been in years, and my goodness it was as incredible as I had remembered. Jack was brave and tried a seafood spaghetti dish, he's not the biggest fan of much seafood but is starting to try more as he knows I love it. Very proud!

Finally for desert, Jack had the cheese board which he loved, although I wasn't a fan of the garlic honey... and I had a salted caramel ice cream sundae and regretted it. I don't usually go for sundaes for desert so I'm not sure why I did, it was nice but I just couldn't eat it all!

We had such a nice night over all and the staff at Carluccio's were brilliant, especially our waitress.
Thank you again to them all.

As Always,

Much Love,

Feel Unique Pick 'N' Mix

Hey guys,

Quick sneaky blog post here as I thought after my video I would follow it up with some pictures of what I received.

If you haven't seen my video yet click here:

If you prefer reading... here goes!

Basically, I stumbled across Candy Land/Pick 'N' Mix on Feel Unique last week and was super excited as you basically choose 5 sample products and simply pay for postage. The pictures below are what I picked up, but you are able to do this every month. How amazing!

All you have to do is pay £3.95 postage. I was really impressed with how quick it came too, only a couple of days which is amazing service.

I'm very excited to try them all, once I have got through them, I will do another post/video depending on what you want to discuss what I thought.

Much Love,

London Date with My Mummy!

Hey guys,

Fair warning! This is quite a picture heavy post, but we had such a good day and it was so much fun!

So, last Monday, me and my mum went up to London from where we live in Kent for my Christmas pressie treat.

 

Every year my lovely mum and step dad give me a present that involves a London trip to see a show, and me and my mum get to go together which is so lovely as I'm sure you know how hard it is to fit time in for quality time as you get older.

We caught the train up about 3pm and had a catch up on the train and it was actually quite a nice day for once!

Mum has booked a table for us at Prezzo and she'd managed to find a voucher which meant it was a bargain meal. On the way we found a Whole Foods, and oh em geeee, I want one in Kent! It has such awesome stuff in it, I wanted to try everything. I settled for this dark chocolate as I've got really into it recently and it was immense. (You may have already seen this picture if you follow me on Instagram- @Tklou)

We had three courses at Prezzo, sharing the starter and the desert so we didn't feel too full up.

We had crab cakes with lemon mayo to start, we both then had pizza. I had the Tire Gusti (all the meat) and my mum had a pepperoni and chilli one. Then we shared Tiramisu as neither of us had eaten it for ages, with an espresso martini to share also.

The food was amazing although the espresso Martini could have been stirred a bit more as all the alcohol was at the bottom...!

I love the architecture in London and could spend all day taking pictures of it all. This was a cute archway in between a couple of buildings opposite the Prezzo we were at. How pretty!

Then we headed over on the tube to Regents Park for the main attraction, Jesus Christ Superstar in the Open Air Theatre there. Wow, just wow. I had never been to Regent's Park before and I thought it was beautiful, but the Open Air Theatre was something else. The staff were all friendly and helpful which definitely helps, and something that makes a real difference to me. It was stunning inside, gorgeous fairy lights in the trees, a cute picnic area with a BBQ that we wished we'd known about!

When we got inside, it was much bigger than I expected and my Mum had got us awesome seats. We were second row and could see everything.

 

 

We were super lucky with the weather too! As it was open air we were obviously a little concerned, as it goes ahead regardless. At the start of the second act it started spitting for about 2/3minutes, then luckily stopped again.
The actors were all amazing and had insane voices! I would say if you love Theatre it is definitely a must see. The effects and how they utilised the staging was incredible and I think seeing it inside a theatre would have given it a completely different outlook.
We absolutely loved it!

 

 

Unfortunately, no pictures are allowed during the show, although I actually think this is a good thing as it means you actually see everything. So for pictures of the show click here to see the Theatre's pictures..

As Always,

Much Love,
