The same but different 🏡 Yesterday was a day of The same but different 🏡 Yesterday was a day off for me, thanks to my company offering everyone a day off to celebrate a new financial year 🙌🏻 So I spent it tryinggggg to declutter and get those rooms sorted - will it be done before the next #transformationtuesday 🤔
Naturally I’m knackered today so it was a nice change to be bound to a laptop. Kick started the day with some classic High School Musical 😂 How’s your Tuesday been?

We had a busy one, sorting through some of the junk we carried through the move, and finally get those must keep items stored in our loft space! I am a little gutted I’m not showing you a transformation of the two spare rooms, but it’s not long now, just a couple more boxes to sort and some things to sell and we will finally have a 3 bedroom house!

Rhodie thoroughly enjoyed his zoomies  round the garden, especially once we took the fence back so he had more room to run! Doesn’t he just look so happy. All he wanted was us all to be in the garden all day!

The grass is certainly longer and more established The grass is certainly longer and more established since this snap from early January. 🌿 Despite Rhodie being a little naughty and pulling a few chunks of lawn up in first few weeks, the lawn is going well. 
But as sunshine starts to appear, our next project is fast approaching - our garden! I have some high hopes for our long garden plot, including a larger patio and some much needed privacy. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m rather excited to get green fingered, and hopefully create a inviting outdoor space 🌿 Any advice for our rather daunting blank canvas? I’d love to hear any ideas!

I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 Y I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 You know how it is, those childhood mementos, wedding day cards and the odd air loom just have no other place that somewhere safe, like a loft. It’s something we completely underestimated, but we managed to find someone to undertake the work and we can see the light on our current mess that is upstairs! 
Yes, I thought he was coming on Friday, and yes he did get a fright when I opened the door yesterday morning in my dressing gown, but hey ho, it’s done and I didn’t know I could be so bloody excited for some plywood in a loft!

Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our loun Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our lounge? Dunno why but my colour transformation reel isn’t showing on my grid, but it’s still kicking my around. To say I’m in love with our new colour would be a understatement. Being a bit braver in our new home is coming together, just a few finishing touches to go! 
👈🏼 Swipe left to see the bland before!

Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and s Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and steady one. We found snow on our Saturday afternoon walk! And polar bear Rhodie LOVED IT 🐶 Sunday was a slow one too, with a mid morning walk, sweet treats and even some painting! Both me and my husband have the week off, and since the splash of colour yesterday afternoon, we seem a little more eager to get more colour in our home, pronto!

How was your weekend? What did you get up to?

Just a little snap shot from our bedroom ✨I can’t show much else in all honesty, since we still have clutter in boxes, and a tv currently living on a ladder step 🙈 But hey, my perfume collection looks just perfect for now!

It’s Saturday and the usual weekly shop is the only thing on the agenda. Maybe a quick pop to get some paint too? We both have a week off and whilst we will mainly be doing sweet F-all, we may just do some decorating!

Alcotraz Penitentiary: A night out in Brighton*

*AD: This was a gifted experience*

Life is all about experiences. In every aspect we just all want to have fun and enjoy something different – if only for a good new instagram pic. And this has never been more obvious than by the new, exciting experiences raising their heads in our nearest cities.

Brighton. It’s my nearest city and one, that for many, holds fond memories of walks along the beach, shopping in churchill square and eventful nights in the local bars and clubs. But if you think you’ve seen it all in this vibrant city, you are mistaken. You’ve seen nothing until you head to Alcotraz!

The rather controversial, BYO Cocktail experience has been a huge hit in London, it’s made it way down south and right beside the seaside. The speakeasy prison bar is a huge edition to the Brighton night out scene and I got my very own sneak preview!

‘Back’s against the wall’

Immersive is the key word for this experience as you are lunged, pretty quickly, into the thrilling action of Alcotraz. Your mission : To smuggle in your very own liquor without arising suspicion from the warden, so canteen workers can sneakily make us bespoke cocktails for the duration of our 2-hour sentence.

Upon arrival, you are ordered to wear orange boiler suits and offered a bible which is more commonly used as a licqor smuggling device. You may even be offered a pillow orrrr towel. It’s the down to the cell block which is right out of Shawshank redemption. It’s dimly lit and offers a bench, some stools and even a toilet for you and your inmates to perch on whilst you await your fate.

‘Just say it’s soup’

As the evening progresses, there are plenty of photo opportunities, sketches and interactions with the guards and warden. Your personal canteen worker takes the time to get to know your drink preferences and with no menu, concocts delicious cocktails based on your personal preference and the smuggled alcohol you hide in the cooking pot.

We certainly ended up a little tipsy, and both me and my sister were often commenting on how its the best night out we’ve had in ages! The cocktails we were made included elder flower pornstar martini’s and mojitos! There wasn’t a single drink we didn’t enjoy!

A great addition to Brighton’s nightlife scene

Overall, Alcotraz offers a fantastic alternative to your normal cocktail bar. Whether you head there with a couple of friends, or a larger group, Alcotraz Brighton will immerse you into the world of classic american prision life. Alcotraz would make the perfect birthday celebration and even a hen / stag experience!

Experiences can be booked individually, or the venue offers private hire if you’re planning a party. To book your place to smuggle your own liquor into Alcotraz, visit Fizzbox.

Who will be booking their place?
