LUX* La Reunion

Review: LUX* Resort in La Reunion

20/05/13 ᛫ 1 Comment

The island of La Reunion is one of the most unique destinations I have been to in all my life. It is a tiny undiscovered Island close to Mauritius and is a thrill seekers paradise. During my adventure trip,  I stayed at LUX* La Reunion, which is the only 5* resort on the Island and provided the perfect platform to explore this hidden… View Post

Paradise Found at Constance Moofushi, Maldives

13/05/13 ᛫ Add a Comment

Not one to frequently find herself in the lap of exotic luxury, Guest Blogger Sophie Stewart couldn’t believe her luck when she was told she would be jetting off to the Maldives to celebrate her Mum’s 50th birthday earlier this year. Swapping her high flying London job for a week of pure relaxation at the 5* Moofushi Island Resort in… View Post

A Stay at Sofitel Imperial Palace, Marrakech

A spoonful of Islamic tradition, a dash of contemporary French chic and a sprinkle of Moroccan charm.  A culturally rich combination all housed within a magnificent Moorish fortress. This is my experience of the Sofitel Imperial Palace in Marrakech… With Marrakech increasingly becoming one of the world’s most fashionable tourist destinations, it’s no surprise that the city has seen a recent… View Post

Review: The Bayerischer Hof Hotel Munich

29/04/13 ᛫ Add a Comment

In every great city, there lies a great hotel. A hotel that sits a clear mile above the rest offering a standard of excellence that can knock the socks off anyone lucky enough to experience it. To be that hotel in a city as affluent, dynamic and cultured as Munich, it has to be a damn good hotel. And I… View Post

My Helicopter Ride in La Reunion, Indian Ocean

21/04/13 ᛫ Add a Comment

Ever heard of the Island of Reunion? No, four months ago neither had I. It’s strange when you find yourself in a destination that you never knew existed, thinking about how its beauty has been around all this time and you’ve never given it a second thought. After three unforgettable days of trekking mountains, soaring over Jurassic peaks by helicopter,… View Post

A Weekend Break in Munich

16/04/13 ᛫ 4 Comments

Having recently done all the European ‘biggies’ (Paris, Rome, Barcelona) I decided I wanted to try and see some of the smaller and lesser known cities in Europe this year. I had heard a lot about Munich being a trendy and upcoming destination with double the charm and half the crowds of other oversaturated European cities. So when I got… View Post

A Mini-Cruise to Amsterdam

01/04/13 ᛫ Add a Comment

Any excuse for a long weekend away and I’m on it, especially if it involves seeing a place of the world I haven’t been to before. Despite The Netherlands being located just a short hop away from the UK and my Father’s Dutch roots, at the ripe age of 22 I had still never visited this enigmatic country. The excuse… View Post

I’d love to hear your comments about what you think of my list and if you can suggest anything else I can add to it. There’s a whole world out… View Post

Top 3 Hotel Trends of 2013

Hotels with Little Extras Hotels trying to charge for Wi-Fi these days can expect a download of complaints.  Nor will own-brand toiletries do; many now expect designer amenities, free mineral water and ‘experiences’ such as museum access… View Post

I have my friend @naomipsychotherapy to thank for I have my friend @naomipsychotherapy to thank for introducing me to wild swimming. She lives here in the Lakes and is an all-seasons pro. At first I was intrigued by her new hobby but equally I thought she was totally mad.

With 8 wild swims under my belt now I’ve definitely grown in confidence and really crave the rush of endorphins it brings. It’s such a visceral experience that pushes your body and then rewards it. There are also so many mental health benefits to wild swimming too. 

Here are Naomi’s 6 top tips if you are a beginner and want to give wild swimming a try:

1. Make sure you have a safe entry and exit point
2. Be mindful of any currents or tides. Lakes are safest as they have neither. 
3. Never swim alone. Always go with someone else.
4. Wear swim booties to protect your feet from rough ground. 
5. Remember mindfulness - try to be present in the moment, noticing what you can hear, smell, see, feel. You can’t get closer to nature than this. 
6. Make sure you have a towel and warm, dry clothing to put on immediately after swimming. 

Would you ever try wild / cold water swimming? Or are you already converted? 💬

Let me give you a tour of the penthouse suite at t Let me give you a tour of the penthouse suite at the @editionnewyork - where we just stayed for 5 nights.

The penthouse currently sells at an eye watering $10,084 a night, which we absolutely did not pay. 

For full disclosure, this was not a PR / press stay. My friend booked a loft suite and the penthouse upgrade was a surprise as the lovely reception staff noticed it was her birthday during our stay. We did not mention our social media accounts or my blog so this stroke of luck was 100% organic! 

Before booking the Edition NYC we saw online that the hotel regularly upgrades its guests whenever possible. We were hopeful but never ever expected they’d upgrade us to the penthouse! 

Insider tip: the generous upgrades are definitely a reason to stay at The Edition when you’re next in NYC.

What’s your favourite part of the Penthouse? 🗽 

📍 5 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NYC
