Nothing hits quite like a full English breakfast for just £1 😭 IKEA is running this nationwide campaign with cooked breakfasts starting from £1, and a regular full plate for only £1.50!

The portions were surprisingly generous 🍳✨—flavours were nothing too fancy, but the sausages were actually pretty good 🌭 Plus, unlimited sauces at no extra cost had me sold 😮‍💨

📌 Available weekends only: Saturdays (England) & Sundays (Scotland) for ikea family members

💌 Tag a friend and plan your IKEA weekend breakfast date!

📍Song Art & Craft, Shoreditch

Looking for a unique activity to do in London? 🌟 Try out a lampworking glass workshop — it’s not something you can find in London commonly!

I joined a 2-hour session where I learned how to shape molten glass into actual flowers 🌸 Never thought I’d be able to craft something so delicate with fire! The instructor walked us through each step — from forming petals to combining different glasses to create beautiful, custom colours. 😍

I was a little nervous at first (first time working with fire in an art class), but it turned out to be super safe and incredibly fun once you get the hang of it. 😮‍💨✨

@songartcraft

The session was £80 and honestly so worth it. Besides flowers, you can also try making rings, other glass pieces, or even check out their metalwork and stained glass workshops too!

If you’re into hands-on, artsy experiences — definitely add this to your London bucket list 💖

📌Send this to your bestie to craft flowers together

🇭🇷 Comment “GUIDE” and I’ll send you my 3-day Dubrovnik guide, including where to stay, food recommendations, the best things to do + all the tips you need to know for your trip! ✨

I visited Dubrovnik at the end of summer and honestly… I completely fell in love with this city. 🥹 It’s officially one of those places I’d happily revisit again someday!

The sparkling Adriatic Sea, stunning medieval architecture and beautiful Old Town made it such an incredible destination. ✨ And if you’re a seafood lover like me, you’re going to LOVE the food scene here! 🦐🐙 There’s also such a lively atmosphere, with the city staying bustling well into the evening. 🤩

There’s SO much to see and do in Dubrovnik, from exploring the historic Old Town and walking along the ancient city walls to discovering hidden swimming spots, beautiful viewpoints and nearby islands. 🌊 And this place is also one of the famous filming locations for Game of Thrones, which makes it even more exciting to visit, especially if you’re a fan of the series! 🎬

And if you have a few extra days, you can even take day trips to Montenegro or Kravica Waterfalls in Bosnia & Herzegovina without having to spend a fortune! ✈️✨

🇲🇦 Comment “LINK” and I’ll send you the exact sunrise hot air balloon tour we booked for our trip to Marrakech! 🎈✨

📍 Marrakech, Morocco

I never thought I’d be able to tick off one of my bucket-list experiences in Marrakech for just £50 per person — which was basically half the price of many other hot air balloon experiences I came across! 🥹 Since most hot air balloon experiences can be quite pricey, I honestly thought this was such an amazing deal.

Some tours might have pickup time that was around 6:30 AM, but if you’re doing this, I’d HIGHLY recommend booking the sunrise slot, which means an earlier pickup around 4 AM. But trust me the sunrise views are definitely worth the early wakeup time.

You also don’t need to worry about bringing breakfast with you because a light breakfast is provided before the flight. A traditional Berber breakfast and transportation are also included in the package, making the whole experience even better value for money. 🤎

Our pilot was super engaging and really knew how to keep everyone excited throughout the experience! We also received a personalised Arabic certificate at the end, which was such a cute little souvenir to take home. ✨

🇪🇸 Comment ‘GUIDE’ and I’ll send you my full 2 day detailed itinerary in Granada that includes hotel recommendations + restaurant recommendations + things to do! ✨

📍 Granada, Spain

Granada is such an amazing city where you can really see the influence of its Islamic and Andalusian heritage 🇪🇸✨ And of course, it’s most famous for the Alhambra, the incredible palace and fortress complex that showcases so much of Granada’s Islamic history, together with the beautiful Generalife gardens.

But do take note that Alhambra tickets should be bought in advance, especially if you’re travelling during busy periods, as tickets can sell out due to the high demand! So definitely don’t leave this until the last minute 🤭

But honestly, there’s SO much more to explore in Granada besides the Alhambra! The city is also known for its old Andalusian hammam tradition, flamenco performances and its beautiful historic neighbourhoods. And if you’re looking for somewhere that instantly makes you feel like you’ve been transported to Morocco, you NEED to explore Alcaicería 🕌

Alcaicería was actually Granada’s old Arab silk market and today you’ll find lots of little souvenir and artisan shops along its narrow streets. Walking through here genuinely made me feel like I was suddenly in one of the souks in Marrakech 😂🇲🇦

Doing a tapas crawl in Granada is SO MUCH FUN, especially because some bars still serve a complimentary tapa when you order a drink!

Granada is honestly one of those cities where I feel like 2 days is the perfect amount of time to explore the main highlights, eat your way through the city and still have time to wander around without rushing. ✨

🇪🇸 Comment ‘GUIDE’ and I’ll send you my full 2 day Granada guide including where to eat + hotel recommendations + hidden spots!

📍 Granada, Spain

This city is indeed SO charming and one of the things that makes Granada so special is their famous free tapas culture 🍷🍴 where you can actually get a FREE tapas with any drinks that you order!

1. Bar La Riviera
A restaurant that serves FREE tapas with any drinks you order! Although the tapas wasn’t beautifully presented, IT WAS HUGE in size 😂 You’ll easily feel full after just 2 plates of tapas and you can also choose the type of tapas that you want, from fried squid, chorizo and so many more!

2. El Pescaíto de Carmela 🥘
If you’re craving for paella and octopus, this is definitely one to try! Their paella is made on the spot, so do be mindful that it takes some time to arrive and the service can be a bit slow. But if you’re not in a rush, definitely worth trying!

3. La Tarta de la Madre de Cris 🍰
This is officially my FAVOURITE cheesecake in Spain, next to Joncake 🤤 Super creamy and they have SO many flavours to choose from! They also have a few outlets across Seville and Granada, which you NEED to try if you’re a cheesecake lover!

4. Ávila Tapas 🍻
Discovered this randomly while searching through Google Maps because A LOT of restaurants were actually closed during August due to the summer season.

And guys… this place was PACKED with locals 👀 which instantly made us feel like the tapas must be good 😂 You can choose from a wide range of dishes, although the portions are slightly smaller compared to some of the other places.

5. Llao Llao 🍦
Our favourite frozen yoghurt shop that I’ve been craving SO much in Malaysia, so obviously I had to try it in its origin country — Spain! 🇪🇸😂

It was super refreshing and the toppings are fully customisable. But I’ll ALWAYS pick the pistachio sauce over everything 💚

🇪🇸 Comment “SUNSET” and I’ll send you the exact location + sunset walking tour details! ✨

If you’re heading to Granada, SAVE THIS for your itinerary 🤍

After taking a bus from Seville to Granada, we were honestly exhausted on our first day… but trust me when I say this sunset walk was SO worth spending an extra 2 hours on. 🥹🌅

For just £12, you can explore two of Granada’s most charming neighbourhoods — Albaicín & Sacromonte while learning more about the fascinating history and culture of the city.

Albaicín is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed area, so if you’re a history lover, you’ll absolutely enjoy this experience. ✨ And the best part is definitely the walk to this beautiful viewpoint just in time for sunset. 🌅

We slowly watched the sky change colours while listening to live music, watching people dance and soaking up the atmosphere. There’s also a restaurant that gets this fantastic view but will need to book in advance during peak season.

🇪🇸 Comment “AURORA” and I’ll send you the link to get discounted tickets for Setas de Sevilla! ✨

Setas de Sevilla is the world’s largest wooden structure and one of the spots that I think you definitely shouldn’t miss when visiting Seville! You can get amazing views of the city during the day, watch the sunset from the top 🌅 and stay until night time to see the Aurora light show once it gets dark. ✨

I would definitely recommend prebooking your slot, especially if you’re planning to go around sunset as these slots tend to sell out super quickly. Make sure to check the sunset time for the month you’re visiting and book your slot around 30 minutes before sunset so you can catch the golden hour too!

There’s also a video experience called “Feeling Sevilla” included in the ticket, which is an immersive experience that takes you through Seville in a really fun way. I honestly think this is something you NEED to try while you’re there! 🤭

🤫 But here’s a hidden tip that most people don’t know: your ticket actually allows you to re-enter within 48 hours after your first visit!

So I’d recommend booking your sunset slot for the first visit, then coming back the next morning when it’s less crowded and you can enjoy a completely different view of Seville. 🌅

🇪🇸 Comment “GUIDE” and I’ll send you my full 2-day Seville guide! ✨ Including where to eat, hotel recommendations + the best things to do in Seville.

Seville was one of those cities we instantly fell in love with the moment we arrived. 😍 Vibrant, colourful and full of beautiful historic buildings, charming streets, incredible food and iconic spots like Plaza de España. I’ve put together a 2-day itinerary that lets you see the best of Seville without feeling like you’re constantly rushing around.

We stayed right opposite Setas de Sevilla and honestly, it was the best decision ever! 🤭 Super central, with tons of restaurants right downstairs — plus our rooftop pool had the most gorgeous views over the city. 🌅

And you HAVE to visit Setas de Sevilla for sunset. The views were absolutely stunning and easily one of my favourite moments in Seville. ✨ For all Tapas lovers, Seville is your heaven. There are sooo many tapas spots around the city, and getting a tinto de verano for just €2 felt like such a steal! 😂

Seville also has a generally mild climate, making it a great option for a winter getaway ☀️ so if you’ve been thinking about visiting Spain, maybe this is your sign to book that trip! 👀

💡 Travel tip: Some attractions offer free admission on Mondays, but you may still need to reserve a ticket in advance. Always check the official website before visiting for the latest ticketing information.

📍 Seville, Spain 🇪🇸

If you’re planning a visit to Seville in the next few months, here are a few food spots that I LOVED during my recent visit! There were a few places I didn’t manage to visit because some restaurants were closed for their summer holidays 😭

1. Plaser
Famous for their hole-in-the-wall drinks, where you get to order your drink and collect it without even seeing anyone 🤣 There are so many special flavours like lollipop, matcha colada and even pistachio coffee that you’ll definitely want to try!

2. Bar El Comercio
This historic shop has been open since 1904 and has been serving some of the best churros! They’re freshly made and fried, then served with thick and rich hot chocolate (but it’s not too sweet), making it the perfect breakfast or sweet treat if you’re ever around this area 🤤

3. KALA Frozen Greek Yogurt
This was one of our favourite frozen yogurts and honestly such a lifesaver for us, especially during the hot weather in August 😮‍💨 It was super refreshing, and you can even customise your own toppings. The prices are super affordable too!

4. Bar Alfafa
A hidden tapas bar that’s super small and cosy but packed with locals! Prices are super affordable, and you can even get a Sangria for only €3 🍷 But be careful because it’s pretty strong, so you might start feeling dizzy after a few cups 🤣

5. Mercado de Triana
The famous indoor food market where you’ll find local fresh produce, Iberian ham and A LOT of food stalls serving tapas! We just popped in and tried a few bits from different stalls, and honestly, they didn’t disappoint 🤤

6. Cafetería Aromas de San Román
A super local breakfast spot where you might need to queue if you arrive slightly later! You can easily get an Iberian ham baguette for only €3+, or a full set with coffee, orange juice and an Iberian ham baguette for only €6.50 😭

🍷 And if you’re interested in doing a tapas crawl while you’re in Seville, I’ve also found a tapas tour that you might want to check out! Comment “TAPAS” and I’ll send you the link 🤍

🇪🇸 Comment “HOTEL” and I’ll send you the booking link 🤍

If you’re planning a trip to Granada but don’t want to spend a fortune on hotels. You NEED to add this one to your list! ✨

We booked this studio apartment for just £60+ per night, and honestly, it was such a good find 🥹 It comes with a super comfy dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, a coffee machine, and even some complimentary treats which basically covers everything you need for a comfortable stay. ☕️🍪

The location is another big plus! There’s a Carrefour Express just a 5-minute walk away, and since it’s right in the city centre, you’ll have plenty of local restaurants and cafés nearby. 🍽️

The room was spacious, the bed was super comfy, and for the price, we really couldn’t ask for more. Definitely one I’d stay at again if I’m ever back in Granada! 🇪🇸
