#AD-Gifted meal 🔥🍛 The food and hospitalit #AD-Gifted meal 🔥🍛 The food and hospitality industry has taken a huge knock over the last couple of months. Forbidden to dine in restaurants has meant eating at home has become the new normal. During lockdown, this close knit family-run company launched and provide a fantastic delivery service. It’s always beneficial to have the convenience of incredible food delivered to straight your door. This weekend, I was invited to try one of the best takeaways I've ever had in the Midlands. Let me introduce @Apinchofmasala - located in Smethwick, B66 2JL. A brand new takeaway service, they're based 20 minutes away from #Stirchley. Hands down, both the food and service we received was exceptional. They deliver up to 8-9 miles from their head kitchen depending on capacity. The team asked me to try anything I'd like from the menu: split into vegetarian options, meat dishes, naan breads, rice, sides, garnishes, drinks and desserts. It's affordable and they have an allergens list too. They can also provide gluten-free meals if asked in advance. It's delicious and to my surprise, even the non-meat dishes were outstanding (tandoori soya, anyone?) 😍 What I loved most is the portion sizes. The team think it’s ideal to have more than enough for two people per dish as most orders will have at least two people eating. Evidence: We had more than enough for two plates AND leftovers the next day. I'll be posting more on what we ordered throughout the week, but for now I can't recommend this place enough! To say thank you, I want to give something back to this independent business and I'll be running my very own #GIVEAWAY this week for someone to win a meal. So keep your eyes peeled for that. POM do bespoke orders, catering for more than 10 people – even up to a 1000! On the website, use code 'POM10' for 10% when you collect, or it's free delivery over £40. Double tap if you’ve like to enter a competition to win a meal from Pinch of Masala. 🔥🙌🏻 . . . #pinchofmasala #independentbirmingham #independenttakeaway #smallbusiness #smethick #food #foodie #masala #indianfood #butterchicken #chillipaneer #birmingham #brumhour #bhamfood #birminghamfood #birminghamfoodie

AD-gifted experience 🪓🦍🎯 Whether you’ AD-gifted experience 🪓🦍🎯 Whether you’re looking for a day out with the kids, or simply want to throw yourself off some zip lines for the hoo-har, a Go Ape adventure is never far from where you are. Since lockdown, doing any sort of family-orientated activitity has been few and far between - but when @goapecoventry got back in touch to see if I’d like to try some of their new assault courses and axe throwing games, I thought it was a great idea to go back with some friends and their kids for a day out. The Treetop Adventure lasts 60 mins and is ideal for younger ones and families who want to swing up high in the forest canopy. You can harness up and join in or cheer on from the forest floor (which is what I did with Seb!) - the Treetop Activity is between £16-£20. There’s also the plus+ activity range which is suitable for those over 6 years old / 1.2m and includes some zip lines. You can find out more on their website to choose your preferred course. The adult courses are also a lot of fun, hard work, but exhilarating. Axe Throwing is something I’ve always wanted to do and the Go Ape course is now open for group bookings. Everything is sanitised and you’re given a demonstration by an instructor. We’re lucky as we had the entire thing to ourselves, so us 4 adults swapped in and out to watch the kids. The activity will bring out your inner-warrior as you hurl giant axes into a wooden board at the end. The aim? Score points against your opponent and make sure yours sticks! This is a brand new, hour long experience and is a fab stress-reliever. It’s all about technique > strength so anyone can take part as long as you’re over the age of 16. An hour long session will set you back £14. Further info on all courses, times, prices and bookings can be found on the GoApe.co.uk website. There’s plenty of locations scattered around the UK. The Coombe Abbey, Coventry destination is fantastic and the staff are always so pleasant and welcoming. Full blog coming soon on our family day out. 🙌🏻 . . . #goape #goapecoventry #coombeabbey #goapeuk #axethrowing #daysout #familytravelbloggers #family #familytime #coombeabbey #treetopadventure
You wanna pizza me? 😆🍕 I can’t believe I You wanna pizza me? 😆🍕 I can’t believe I’m going to say this - but last night we ate an @ottohopgarden pizza for the very first time. When it came, I thought the pizza looked quite small. But the flavour soon made up it for it! Mine was a spicy nduja, wenlock edge farm chorizo, fior di latte mozzarella, homemade tomato sauce and hilltop honey (£11.50) It was gorgeous. Josh had one with salami, red onion, jalapeños (£12) - but mine was miles better. Have you eaten @ottowoodfired before? What’s your favourite pizza you’ve had from there? We ordered food on @ubereats_uk. 🏍 . . . #pizza #otto #hopgarden #harborne #ubereats #bhamfood #bhamstrong #birmingham #pizza #brumhour #food #foodiesofinstagram #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #ottopizza

Had a baby playdate today in the Botanical Gardens Had a baby playdate today in the Botanical Gardens. It was drizzly, but we made the most of it. I pushed Seb along and he held his hand out to stroke some of the greenery as we went past. There were a few sharp ones coming up so I told him, “please don’t touch those plants, be careful as they’ll hurt your hands” just as we were passing two garden maintenance guys who were potting new plants and they thought I was telling them off. It was a lovely day regardless. 🌲🌳🌿🍃🌱 . . . #botanicalgardens #botanical #edgbaston #gardens #greenery #brumhour #birmingham #greenspaces #bham

I have some news... 🙌🏻💖 I’m officially I have some news... 🙌🏻💖 I’m officially an ambassador for the magnificent brand that is @childsfarm - and their latest range for adults - @farmologiebychildsfarm. I’ve used their products religiously since baby Seb was born, so I’m over the moon to be joining the team as part of their product ambassador programme. Not only will this allow me to share new products, launches, insights and more with my followers, but my new brand ambassador role also means that I can give something back to my friends, family, and my online community. I’ll be providing my own personal discount purchase code for all products to help spread and share the love. 🙌🏻 This really is a ‘pinch me’ moment because Childs Farm is truly a brand I’m obsessed with (and use daily.) Since the introduction of their latest Farmologie product range (for adults) I’m more hyped than ever to be able to use skincare and products that don’t hurt or irritate my eczema. Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming posts as I’ll be sharing more details soon! I will save all stories to my Instagram highlights in case you’re interested in knowing more. Have you tried Childs Farm or the new Farmologie ranges yet? Available online and in @bootsuk stores across the UK. 🌎💖 Ps - this gifted #AD sample is part of their latest new hand cream range containing deeply moisturising ingredients to soothe and hydrate all skin types - even sensitive skin. Included is an uplifting grapefruit and organic tea tree oil which not only gives depth to the scent but is one of nature’s own antibac’s. They have created an unfragranced version for those who don’t like fragrance, or are super-sensitive to fragrance allergens. This is an excellent extension to the range AND are super handy, ready for those back to school/work bags.🖐🏻 . . . #brandambassador #childsfarm #farmologie #farmologiebychildsfarm #childsfarmproducts #farmologiehandcream #boots #handcream #ad #blog #beauty #skincare #eczema #dermatology
