Stellar Restaurant Ephemera – A Space Food Experience

While in Paris for Go Fest Global, a Pokemon Go event, our friends Molly and Husky recommended a restaurant that they felt Dann and I would really love; Stellar Restaurant – Ephemera. Ephemera have a bunch of different, themed restaurant experiences, and Stellar is their space-themed place to eat. As we love experiences and we love trying new food, this felt like such a great recommendation and I am so glad we went along! You do need to book ahead, online, and when you show up you get to walk through a bunch of well-decorated areas to get to your seat. The walls themselves have space-themed atmospheres being projected, and there is a mystical, calm music playing. The ceiling is covered in planet decorations and mood lighting. It’s got some great vibes! But, let’s get into the food.

Trying the Little Big Flavour Kits Pineapple Curry

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to trying new foods, often these types of easy-to-use kits are a great introduction! I had not ever heard of a pineapple, meat-free curry, but was very excited to try the Little Big Flavours Kits Pineapple Curry. We took this kit on holiday with us to Center Parcs Elveden, as it only takes a few ingredients and creates a lot of easy, delicious food. It felt like the perfect little kit to have in our cabin, ready for a meal in. We’ve tried Little Big Flavour Kits before, so this felt like a great thing to have in our bag. If this or any of their kits is something you want to try, you can get 15% off until the end of September by using code JUPITER15 on their website.

Fancy Dinner at El Brellin

Dann and I wanted to go to a more fancy dinner while in Milan, and what better place than along the river in Vicolo dei Lavandai! There was tons of night life in the area, lots of different restaurants, but we walked along until we saw El Brellin tucked away, with upscale Italian food. Previously, this building was an old grocery store, where women who washed clothing would grab supplies. The layout hasn’t changed much, still showcasing the 1700s fireplace and coffered ceilings. We were excited to try the menu after seeing some of the selection. They have an ever changing menu, so I cannot find an accurate menu of what we had, so these names may have changed.

A Selection of Cold Cuts, Cheese Flan, and Venison Sausage

A Week at Center Parcs Elveden

We’ve been to Woolacombe Bay, we’ve been to Great Yarmoth, Butlins and to many other holiday places, but I have always heard people talk about Center Parcs. Now that two of our children have hit the teenage age, we have decided to go for it and go to Center Parcs Elveden, which is the closest one to us, for an entire week long holiday! We booked in the middle area, so it was a ten minute walk from the center of the park, and made sure to stay on the side closest to the water park as it was clear that was where we’d be spending most of our time.

Why Bold Nail Colors Are Becoming the New Beauty Statement

For decades, pale pinks, nudes, and classic reds were the polish shades of choice. They symbolized elegance, subtlety, and refinement, fitting seamlessly into both boardrooms and social events. But just like fashion and makeup, nail trends have taken a noticeable turn. Today, bold nail colors are taking center stage, reshaping how people express themselves through beauty.

This shift hasn’t come out of nowhere. It’s the result of cultural changes, industry innovation, and a stronger desire for individuality. Once reserved for daring personalities, shades like electric blue, lime green, or metallic orange are now everyday choices. They’re more than polish—they’re a statement.
