Get ready to feast your foodie eyes on the restaurants that I've been checking out over the past few weeks. In my previous post, discussing the food I ate in September, I was primarily focussing on the food scene in Newcastle but, this time, I ventured out a little so you can see a bit more of what I've been trying out.  O C T O B E R 27-10-19  - Newcastle Pictured...

Last year I shared some eco-friendly ways to add some flare to Christmas gifts - this year I'm back at it, making sure my Christmas gifts look great while also being sustainable and not costing a bomb. Just as I did last time, this year I'm still always using brown paper for my wrapping. Not only is this paper easy to recycle and customise, I seriously think it looks better....

*This blog post is in collaboration with Oasis Fashion and contains gifted items. Velvet dress: Oasis | Scarf: Oasis | Bobble hat: Topshop | Coat: M&S | Boots: New Look Christmas, for me, has always been about dolling up to the nines in fancy, and maybe somewhat traditional, clothing to welcome the festivities. While I usually go for glitter, this year I decided to mix...

As bloggers, we too often set our sights on working with the big shots and, far too rarely want to really showcase what the local community around us has to offer. Whether you live in a big city or a small town, every place has its quirks and unique areas or businesses and I think it's about time we show them off. Here's why you should be sharing more about your local life... Rekindle...

*This post contains gifted items. One of my favourite kinds of invitation is that of a food invite. This time, it was the team at Slug & Lettuce in Durham who invited me to their new, updated venue to check out their menus and stunning interior. Now that this venue has returned as a slug and lettuce, it's also come with a brand new look, featuring bird-cage booths, flower...

You may be the most outgoing individual out there or completely introverted, either way, it’s not uncommon for someone of any background to experience homesickness. Whether you are travelling far and wide to start University, or just commuting into the city, it is completely normal and completely valid. Whoever you are, you don’t need to tackle it on your own so today,...

We'll kick off with a disclaimer: I'm an eager cook and frugal bunny, so eating out is always a treat for me. I see others out for food every weekend and, not only do I question 'how the hell do you afford that?!' but I also know that my own cooking is sometimes just as good (if I do say so myself). Of course, you stumbled across my blog expecting the typical 'perfect life'...

It’s been a long summer - many days off, many relaxing times, and very many fun times. It was a great way for me to invest some more time into blogging, meet new people, and spend time with those I love. Of course, it wouldn’t be a true ‘Rose Glow’ reflection if it wasn’t completely random though, would it?! From food, theatre productions and places; here are the random things...

When I was starting Uni, I had no idea what to expect and I think this feeling is completely true for a lot of people. I remember getting my enrolment email through and taking ages to suss out where the ‘dashboard’ was, let alone whatever the hell ‘blackboard’ was. When you look back, you look jovially at the struggles and worries that you had. It completely is just one big...

Never in a million years did I think I'd be the kind of girl to enjoy wearing false lashes. I've always had delicate, sensitive and all-round problematic eyes, so some eyeshadow and mascara were often enough. Not until one day I went out on a whim, bought some lashes, and then completely fell in love with them. Admittedly, I'm still a beginner myself and, if I'm honest, I...

"Don't wait until you've reached your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take toward reaching that goal" I've done a similar thing like this before on my blog; expressing the things I've been achieving and how they make me proud, or sometimes even shock me. So, in true Rose Glow fashion, I thought I'd chat again about what all the steps I'm taking at...

I had no idea what to expect upon my invite to visit Eden on their launch night. I knew that it was a replacement of the old night club, Tiger Tiger, but was a little bit confused by the way it was also advertising brunch. This only made me more eager to take a look around and, once my friends and I were through the door, it all began to make sense. The new Eden venue is...
