‘The time Emma Bunton invited me to her party’…

I joined the ‘blogging club’ on the 8th June 2017.

Some people ‘get it’ and others don’t. For me, right now, it’s just a bit of fun. Nothing too serious. I write about brands that I love and ones that I genuinely connect with.

You will have seen me rave about Kit & Kin on here and on numerous Instagram posts so you can guess I was ecstatic when I received an email inviting me to an exclusive preview of all their amazing products hosted by co-founders, Emma Bunton & Chris Money.

Oh. My. God!

It was not just any old house. Oh no. A 1930’s semi that needed completely gutting. The walls were stained, there was an overpowering smell of nicotine, the carpets were circa 1970 and the kitchen was less than 2msq.

For the first 10 weeks of being homeowners, we lived with my parents… 4 adults and a 5-month-old baby was a bit of a tight squeeze! We finally moved into Number Seven on Christmas Eve 2016 and even then it was a further 11 months before the downstairs was habitable.

Twenty-Six Hours in Manchester with Roomzzz

March 2, 2018March 26, 2018by ohsolovelyhelen9 Comments

Oh, Manchester. You never disappoint.

I can often be found in this fair city snapping all things street art with a flat white in hand. My favourite area is Dale Street and the surrounding ‘Northern Quarter District’. It has a ‘you could almost be in New York’ vibe to it with its red-bricked art deco architecture, cobbled streets and street art aplenty.
