My Christmas Gift Guide

My Christmas Gift Guide

It’s Small Business Saturday tomorrow. And it’s nearly Christmas. And, at Christmas, you tell the truth (as Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually so weirdly told us) And the truth is…. Running a small business at Christmas is really bloody hard. The discounting pressures, the last post pressures, the running out of stuff, the underestimating, the overestimating, the not enough time or hands.

Where we’re at this Christmas

Where we’re at this Christmas

This billboard was at the end of my road for most of the summer. And I bloody loved it. It was confident, very bitchy and says so much about the relentless bullshit you have to put up with when you have a concept that other people want a piece of. Oh, and it was funny too. I really haven’t stopped thinking about it. I wish I could be as funny as KFC. Or at least have the confidence to call out poor business practices.

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you who Juliet Sear is… She’s the baker and cake maker extraordinaire who also happens to be ITV’s This Morning go- to for all things sweet. And she’s now been given her own TV show!

So, If you’re the sort of person that likes listening in on other people nattering in the pub then draw a bit closer because I recorded our chat just for you…

The Marshmallowist x Adélaïde Aronio

The Marshmallowist x Adélaïde Aronio

It was when I was living in Paris that I met my best friend Sixtine. She was completely Parisian in every way- from her swooshy slightly disheveled honey blonde hair; to her designer clothes to her 20 a day habit. We met whilst we were both worked for fancy European clothing brands in an equally fancy department store. We would take cigarette breaks together and swop discounts. She would take me on wild nights out and I completely adored how passionate and loud and intense she was.

Bonfire S'more Recipe

Bonfire S'more Recipe

When Baileys asked me to collaborate on whipping them up a bonfire night recipe I was all in. November 5th is calling out for toasted marshmallows with a fire cracking flair. This isn’t just marshmallows for soaking up the last embers of the bonfire - this recipe is the Catherine wheel, the glitter flair and the rockets too. My most show-stopping S'more recipe to date.
