This summer I had a glimpse of what cuisine the Costa Del Sol has to offer... Paella and praline were on the menu during this indulgent weekend.
First up, A buffalo mozzarella salad with cherries, pesto and a basil ice cream. Yep basil ice cream! It was a strange taste at first, a savoury ice cream with cheese.... But it was amazing and had the after taste of pizza... Not the most sophisticated description but I'm sure you're craving pizza now.
The mozzarella was fresh and full of flavour and balanced out well by the basil ice cream that I completely finished. Definitely an original to this amazing restaurant, La Terraza Laurel at La Cala Resort.
After a very filling traditional Paella, we indulged in a sweet and fluffy Praline. Such a great way to balance out all of the fishy flavours of the paella, the praline tasted like the best quality chocolate you could think of, topped off with a strawberry coulis and washed down with a cold white wine.
I would definitely recommend light dishes when abroad, but finished off with a satisfying and calorific dessert, because you are on holiday to relax and enjoy!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Park life was eventful!
From losing my friends, to raving in a huge muddy pit with strangers, I'd still do it again.
This week I am feeling so under the weather though, not sure if it was all my adventures or just the crazy hay fever that everyone seems to have.
Are you going to any festivals this year? Comment below, id love to hear of some more.

On one of my first days here in Manchester a friend took me for a little tour of the Northern Quarter. On one sunny sunday, I ventured out to see what foodie places I could visit, none of these pretentious portions though, I wanted a real meal.
Right on my door step, unknown to me was a haven of culture where it seems any flavour burger or beer would be available.
We enjoyed a filling, fancy breakfast at Home Sweet Home, the cutest american style cafe. Waiters were dressed in 50's style clothing with skater skirts and scruffy converse it felt like we had been transported to an episode of Man vs Food!

We all have different hair types. It depends which interpretation you use,
but refer to the chart below for guidance:
Moisturising natural hair is the main thing you need to worry about when transitioning. The difference between the thick coils and the straight relaxed hair has a lot of tension which means your hair is likely to break. This is called the line of demarcation and holds a lot of problems for people like me that are transitioning. By trimming you hair regularly and moisturising it with these core products you can minimise any damage!
THE BASICS
Raw Shea Butter -
blend or melt to apply to hair because it is very stiff!
Almond Oil -
or any oil that has natural protein
Castor Oil -
smells awful but is amazing for growth. Use it sparingly because it is very heavy. I only use it on my edges, but you can also use it on problem areas of the skin
Shea Butter Leave In Conditioner -
use after shampooing on towel dried hair or for use during styling
TRESemmé Shampoo and Conditioner -
Tresemmé products are often underrated but I find that the shampoo and conditioner leave my hair really soft and easy to comb out.
