Where to Eat in Madrid: Part 3

-
Hello friends!

 All the hardcore superfans of this blog (#himom) may remember a while back I started a "Where to Eat in Madrid" series (see posts 1 and 2), and with another year in this beautiful city, comes another year of discovering new favourite food and drink and spots! 

 So whether you're a fellow madrileño or you're planning your next city break, here are a few more recommendations in the much anticipated part 3...

 If you want...CAKE
Name: Celicioso
Where?: Calle Hortaleza, Calle Barquillo, Callao
My favourite: banana bread/banoffee cake

 This café/bakery is full to the brim with delicious (and gluten free!) treats. Not only do they offer a large variety of cakes, cookies, and other baked goodies, they also have an extensive brunch and lunch menu. A great spot to meet friends for a catch up over a coffee and a cupcake!





If you want...COCKTAILS
Name: Macera Taller Bar
Where?: Calle San Mateo
My favourite: Ginger Fizz Sour 

 The best and most unique part about this bar tucked away in between the bustling neighbourhoods of Malasaña and Chueca is that they make all their own spirits! A favourite among the young, international crowd in Madrid, Macera is a perfect place to enjoy a cocktail with a twist at the end of long work week.



If you want...COOKIE DOUGH
Name: Dough
Where?: Calle General Pardiñas
My favourite: Peanut butter with marshmallows and chocolate chips *drool emoji*

 Madrid's first cookie dough bar, this place is sure to cure any sugar cravings your sweet tooth might throw at you. Their different flavours are displayed like an ice cream parlour, and you can mix and match scoops of the sweet, sticky dough. Probably advisable to only make this a rare treat rather than an everyday occurrence (if you wish to hang on to all your teeth), but I definitely recommend it for something a bit different to your classic sweet treats.

 WELL NOW I'M HUNGRY AF.

 I hope you enjoyed the third instalment of basically just me waffling on about food (hmm, maybe waffles should feature in part 4...). You're welcome.

 Happy Friday beautiful people!

Happy almost New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to 2015 ...and, really, what better way is there to welcome in the new year than with trifle?   ... (tumbleweed)... Exactly . And these ones are perfect! Trust. They're easy , yet impressive , plus necessarily indulgent (it's not January yet people!) As ever, my sister and I were in charge of puddings for Christmas day, and I just happened to stumble across this genius concoction on BBC GoodFood (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/890640/baileys-banana-trifles), and there was no going back. These can be made a few hours in advance and kept in the fridge. INGREDIENTS (makes 4 individual trifles): 200ml double cream 5 tbsp Baileys 4 brownies (make your own for the best results)* 2 bananas, sliced 350ml vanilla custard toffee sauce (optional) grated chocolate (optional - we used some crumbs from the brownies) If you have time, homemade brownies really

Hi friends. ONLY ONE WEEK OF EXAMS LEFT. Woo .  5 down, 2 to go, and I'm not going to lie the motivation is flagging majorly. As is the will to not just live off pizza and  chocolate biscuits .  I came back after Easter determined to try even harder than normal to eat as healthily as possible, which isn't so easy when exam stress hits. That's where these cookies come in: Perfect for a library snack! Not only are they not packed with sugar and butter, they're really easy and super quick to make! Put on some music, throw some shapes in your kitchen and whip up these beauts - the best type of revision break. Ingredients (makes 9 small cookies): 2 heaped tbsp peanut butter 4 tbsp runny honey Half a ripe banana 4/5 dates, chopped into small pieces (raisins would work too) 1 cup oats 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract Method: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Gently heat the peanut

How to Job Hunt Without Going Insane

Since moving back to the UK in December, I have been on the dreaded job hunt.  No matter your personal situation or what type of work you're seeking, I think we can all agree the process of looking and applying for jobs is not a fun one. So here are a few tips to help make the journey a little less frustrating/joyless/soul-crushing (delete as applicable). *N.B. I am not telling you how to get a job (nor do I think I'm qualified to do so), I'm merely suggesting some ways to ease the pain of the process.*  *N.N.B.B. I'm writing this from the experience of someone searching for a job while not in employment, I appreciate it's a whole different ball game if you're looking for a job while also working full-time!*  1. Have a side hustle The worst part of job hunting, in my opinion, is the lack of control.  You have no control over how long this period of uncertainty will last.  No control over the (hundreds of) applications once they're sent out.  No con
