Brown Hound Delights

There is a little coffee shop / wine bar situated in drogheda called Brown Hound Bakery.

It is and I quote ; "A lovely place to meet friends, enjoy great wines & savour small plates of cheese, pâté, olives etc or just stop by for coffee and cake"

Myself and my fiancé popped in for the first time today and absolutely loved it!
It's so quirky and the food is amazing. Specialising in the most unusual cakes I have ever seen, and the most succulent cakes I have ever tasted. We started with a sandwich made from a Parmesan and chive scone with four different fillings and is individually wrapped. I almost didn't want to open it! And then I had a mini cake version of the Brown Hound cake and it was to die for, my fiancé is not one for desserts but he loved it too.
The price is not too steep, for under €20 we had a lovely little lunch.

The place is decorated in an unusual way in that none of the furniture matches. The ambiance the owners have created is eclectic. We have vintage tables, a country coffee bar and Bob Marley music and it all works so well together!

All in all it is well worth a visit and we will definately be making a return visit.

Nail biting no more

I'm a major nail biter, I gave up for a year and then this April, I think, I started biting my nails again. I hate it and really want to stop again. I was so proud of my nails when I let them grow long so i decided to write a blog to hopefully give me the kickstart to stop again.

I bought this Sally Hansen, Hard As Wraps Acrylic Wrap polish in tesco for €7.22 and put one layer on my nails. I'm hoping that it's like a hard barrier on my nails to stop me biting the layers off them. Nail polish never really works for me as I bite it straight off. So fingers crossed it works, and I will be able to post pics of my lovely long nails.

Never neverland

Not sure if it's just me or if anyone else feels like never growing up!
This year I'm taking some major grown up steps in my life. I got engaged to my partner of six years this year and we are preparing to get married next summer so there's alot of chat about weddings going on around here.
We are also in the process of buying a little house too. Myself and my mum have been buying all the necessities for the house like bath towels, drinking glasses etc and a few days ago my little brother comment how funny it was that I got so excited about buying towels lol. Agh I'm gettin old!!!!
I'm spending money on all this house stuff instead of having a spending spree on some wardrobe updates. Boo hoo
