Are you Divine or Savage?

Are you Divine or Savage?

 Divine Savages suggested we hook up for a little cocktail inspired collab and we couldn’t believe our luck. So give a cheeky wink to our new flavours, Divine Peach Bellini with champagne and a flourish of gold and the Savage Espresso Daiquiri with spiced rum.

virtual bonfire night

Bonfire Night has to be my favourite night of the year. I plan Bonfire Night like other people plan birthdays or Christmas. From mittens, lined boots, sparklers, toffee apples, flasks of spiced rum- to the exhilaration of fizzing firework displays. Kids are allowed to stay up late and grown ups can eat hot dogs for dinner.
I couldn’t love it more.

why vanilla shouldn't be embarrassing

What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve done? You know the creeping hot sweat, bum clench embarrassment that make you freeze when walking down the street or shudder quietly in the shower. I often get caught up in a spiral of rumination remembering incidents from primary school assemblies or mistaken identities to every night out ever. Urgh.

Once you have mastered this basic recipe, you can go on to dream up your own flavours....

Veganuary Decadence

Veganuary Decadence

Happy New Year! Are you back? We are well and truly back. Christmas is just a slightly hazy memory now. But I finally get the January stuff.  This was my first Christmas off in many many years and I now understand why Dry January is a thing and why Veganuary is so popular because I’M DONE. Normally, I’m still lurking around January with a glass of wine, trying to convince friends to stay and finish off the cheese, but this year… I get it. I’m on the sparkling water and the steamed veg and the long walks and the lists of things I want to achieve.
