The Garage Spa VIP Open Evening
I was delighted when I was offered 2 tickets to a VIP event at The Garage Spa. I had never been before and had been dying to go after seeing photos and hearing so many good reviews. The Spa is a part of The Morritt Hotel in Barnard Castle and although the Hotel has been around for many years, the spa is rather new. The VIP event was to have a look around the spa and to also sample some of the treatments available. There was also canapes and lots of fizz floating about on the evening and there was the opportunity to purchase Germaine de Cappuccini skin care products…

ThaiKhun at Intu Metro Centre Review
The Intu Metro Centre is a huge local shopping mall in Gateshead that has lots of shops, restaurants and entertainment including an IMAX ODEON cinema. You can read more about the shopping centre in a blog post here. They are always introducing new shops and restaurants to the centre and I decided to visit last month after hearing a lot of new places to eat had opened up. One new restaurant in particular caught my eye, called Thaikhun and after reading the menu and having a little peak inside at the decor I just had to try it out. I went for the first time with my mum whilst on…

Betta Living Bedroom Transformation
So a few months back I entered a competition for a bedroom transformation that, to be quite honest I had completely forgotten about! It was to win a bedroom transformation of up to £3500 from Betta Living and I think the competition was on Facebook. Well I only blumming went and won it (I still feel in shock now)! At first I was waiting for a catch, like you have to pay for fitting or spend over a certain amount, but nope, unless I wanted to spend more than £3500 I didn’t have to pay anything whatsoever. I wasn’t 100% sure what ‘transformation’ included exactly but I was very excited to…

Filming for Whiteblade
Whiteblade is a new film which is currently in Production and was originally meant to be a short but is now looking to be a full length feature which will be submitted to the likes of Cannes and similar next year. It is a series of stories based on the life of the C7th Anglo-Saxon King, (Saint) Oswald.

Following on, the series will chart Oswald’s expansion of Northumbria and the many battles ahead of…

Life As An Extra
You may have noticed on the Supermummy Secrets Facebook page that I have posted a few times about a TV series called Beowulf. You may have even seen some of the behind the scenes photos I posted of myself wearing rags all dirtied up. Well this is just another one of my various jobs that I do, I am a TV/Movie Extra. Now you may have watched the series that Ricky Gervais brought out which was a comedy all about being an Extra and, although it was a little OTT, I couldn’t help but think about how much of it was true to real life. First of all you should…

Afternoon Tea at Poplar Tree Garden Centre
I am a big fan of afternoon tea! Myself and my partner are always looking for new places to try and we are always looking for places that are child friendly too as our little man loves afternoon tea (cutta tea as he calls it). I spotted some photos on Facebook of a rather beautifully presented afternoon tea thanks to a friend tagging me in a photo and it definitely caught my eye. It was on the Facebook page for Poplar Tree Garden Centre in Durham which I hadn’t had the chance to visit yet. Once liking the page I was regularly seeing photos of the delicious looking food! We are…
