Unfiltered Me | Sharing a bit about myself

[Ad- collab] Social media and what is put out into the world is often described as the best parts of people’s lives. They project what they want the world to see, and hide away anything else. Filters, editing, only showing good bits of life seem to be the go to way that people use the internet, however, I have always made it an effort to show the highs and lows of my life. I’ve shared unflattering pictures on Twitter, showed off moments of failure on Facebook and Instagram, and continued to just be – me. I don’t have much time to edit myself down to this perfect version, to filter until there is something that everyone will instantly go too.

Through this, I have found myself become more approachable – I am not this perfect person with a perfect life. I have imperfections, my skin isn’t baby soft, I am a real human who you can really see and talk too. When using dating sites, this is something to heavily consider, as it’s much better to be comfortable in your own skin as apposed to creating an image of something you are not. It’s important to continue to be yourself, even if yourself is quirky, funny, loud, not perfect.

Pumpkin Pancakes | Recipe

We love pancakes in our home! It’s something made at least weekly, with berries or homemade jams or syrups on top. As it is pumpkin season, and we have made so much pumpkin puree, it was only natural that we ended up making some pumpkin pancakes. These pancakes taste amazing and bring a lot of Autumn cheer to your breakfast table – perfect for a spooky Halloween breakfast or just a new fall favorite. I am sure they go great with some pumpkin spiced coffee too!

A Day Out at Spooky Gudetama the Lazy Egg x Artbox Cafe & Boutique

If you frequent this blog (or my instagram) you may have noticed that we love the Artbox Cafe! We have been there for Pusheen and Gudetama, but when Gudetama got a spooky look (and spooky treats added to the menu) we had to go back down to Brighton to try out some of the new Halloween-themed treats! Along with their regular menu of delicious treats – ice creams, cheese cakes, soups, and sandwiches, there is a select dessert menu with a drink for the spooky Autumn season. If you were unable to attend this pop-up, consider this Cake shop online check out your favourite cake.

We, of course, tried both of these desserts, as well as the Pumpkin Spice latte, and had a lovely time! As always, Claire went along with us. Let’s get into it.

Pick Your Poison Boozy Truffles | Review

I was looking for a more upscale, adult candy for this year’s Halloween. Just because kids are the ones trick or treating, doesn’t mean adults can’t have a Halloween themed candy treat! Dann came across the Pick Your Poison Boozy Truffles from Fortnum & Mason – and it seemed perfect! I’ve not had boozy truffles before, but am a big truffle fan.

These truffles weren’t overwhelmingly boozy, they tasted subtle in their alcohol-related flavors, which felt perfect for what we wanted. Our box had two truffles that were duplicated, but the rest had one of each listed. The flavors we got were: Fortnum’s Bellini Truffle (we got two of these), Pink Marc De Champagne Truffle, Fortnum’s Kir Royale Truffle, Fortnum’s London Gin with Lime (we got two of these), Milk Chocolate Port Wine Truffle, Fortnum’s London Gin with Orange, Dark Chocolate Cognac Truffle and Milk Chocolate Whisky Truffe.

What It’s Like Dating Gamer Geeks

[Ad- collab] If you have glanced at my social media, you will find that I am actually a games journalist and community manager working in video games. My partner, Dann, is actually an editor at the world’s largest mobile gaming site. Saying we are gamer geeks is sort of an understatement – we have been in games so long that it’s just apart of our personality. Gaming is actually a big part of most people’s lives, from young children playing games to adults getting together to play online multiplayers or playing single player games on their own.

When I was younger, playing games was something uncool. Now, it seems that everyone is describing themselves as gamers or talking about the newest game they have purchased. With the continuing rise in households with consoles and the availability of games – especially free games – increasing, the number of people who are finding gaming is their main hobby is following suit. Gaming is a way to bring yourself out of this world and enjoy a world worth playing in. Often, dating gamers comes with memes that are quite… incorrect – both from the “gamers dates gamer boys” and the “gamers dates gamer girls” point of view. So I figured I’d share my point of view when it comes to geek dating.
