4 christmas cocktails!
A Very Merry Christmas!
Cocktails are great, aren't they? I love that sometimes they taste like they have no alcohol in at all.. and they can mix unusual flavours into something crazy delicious! Aldi sent over a whole bunch of spirits and challenged me to make some Christmas cocktails... and here's what I made!

taking care of number one.
Sometimes that means running a bath and eating cereal. Sometimes it means going for a run or a walk. Sometimes it means doing what will make YOU feel better, and not worrying about what everyone else thinks.

a little bit of love - self care box.
I am no stranger to mental health issues, and I think it's important to talk about it whenever appropriate - you've probably seen me mention it on here multiple times! One thing many of us do to ease depression and anxiety is practise self care. I have a whole blog post on that coming soon, but today I'm going to focus on the self care subscription box.
There are a few similar subscriptions boxes out there aimed at self care, but I was sent this new albobox to see what the deal was.

authentic indian street food in bristol.
If you live in Bristol, you've probably heard of The Thali Cafe - authentic Indian food which started on the festival scene & then they opened up a restaurant in Montpelier, followed by Clifton, Easton, Totterdown and (my local) Southville.
They've recently got a new Indian grill which is actually on the restaurant floor (you can just about see it in the left of the photo below) which I love, because it means you get to watch your food being cooked!
I was invited down to try the menu on a quiet Sunday evening, and it did not disappoint..
