Man of Steel

Being in the middle of a rather unexpected phase of love for comic book films means I’m positively giddy at the thought of this. Please don’t judge.

Banana Nutella Muffins

Ever since discovering popular lifestyle blog The Londoner a few months ago I’ve been a little bit obsessed with Rose’s regular posts documenting jet setting escapades here, there and everywhere, including - most recently - Cannes with friends (definitely not jealous…); copious reviews of London clubs, shops and exhibitions it would be rude not to now check out yourself; and poignant, motivational posts on subjects from leaving for university to a new take on the conventional weight loss diet that always seem to generate billions of comments from followers.

You can’t talk about The Londoner without addressing Rose’s unescapably enthusiastic adoration for food - refreshing from someone with such an enviable figure! She introduces endless quirky London restaurants and unmissable street food vendors, providing substantial inspiration for when I’m back down south in September!

In addition, Rose bakes like a trooper. Famous for her Slutty Brownies (which I made several months ago and would heartily recommend), the results of Rose’s home-tested recipes always have the charm of looking like they came from a bakery and yet are deceptively easy to make. A recent post on Banana Nutella Muffins caught my eye (found here) and trust me, the recipe is both simple to follow and produces fabulous results.
