The Cardiff Cwtch - Welsh Food, Fashion and Lifestyle
I feel like my skin’s going through a bit of a shift in season right now. It’s been feeling a bit… winter-lagged (is that word?) for the past few months. Dry, a bit sad-looking and a little bit more red and sensitive than it usually is – so, I’ve been loading up on anything that’ll inject it with some added moisture, scrub away the winter scales and inject a little radiance ready for Spring.
This pineapple and coconut tray-bake looks nothing special fresh out of the oven, but is totally transformed with a layer of coconut buttercream and a scattering of flowers made from dried out pineapple rounds! 🙂
I absolutely love the idea of keeping a capsule wardrobe, but in practice this gal needs options. I’m a bit of a hoarder – it has to be said – and for that reason I have to make sure I do a little bit of a wardrobe audit at the start of every season just to see exactly what I’ve got and what I need (or, more importantly, what I don’t need)…
I’ve been on a kick recently of upping my midweek meal game – particularly when it comes to takeaway dupes – and this sticky honey and sesame chicken is a winner (-winner chicken dinner). Nail the sauce and the rest is history. You can either batter your own chicken or pop some chicken dippers (or Quorn Nuggets) in the oven, and then serve it up with some egg fried rice, a sprinkling of sesame seeds and some chopped spring onions. So easy!
Happy International Women’s Day! And here it is, a Women’s Guide to Cardiff – a Little Black Book for the women of The ‘Diff to stay clued up. A directory of listings for local networking events, places to go for advice, the morning after pill, or when you’re just in a jam and desperately need a bit of help – whether that’s for mental health counselling or refuge from violence. Let’s stay safe and in the know, ladies.
