Something a little unforgettable… 🇮🇹🍝 We were invited to experience Grazie in Sheffield, and I genuinely don’t even know where to begin… 🤍 I have eaten a lot of food, in a lot of different places, and it’s incredibly rare that I’m left completely speechless. But when I tell you the Agnello Lento (Lamb Tortelli) was the best pasta dish I have ever eaten, I mean it with my whole heart. Every single bite was absolute heaven. Rich, beautifully balanced and cooked to perfection… I honestly didn’t want it to end. 😭✨ The starters were just as impressive too. The Cardoncelli with its indulgent cheese sauce was packed with flavour and the perfect way to start the meal. Add in the beautiful atmosphere, the warm and welcoming team, and a fantastic city centre location, and Grazie has officially rocketed itself to my number one favourite Italian restaurant. ❤️ If you’re looking for authentic Italian food in Sheffield, whether it’s for date night, a celebration or simply an incredible meal, please make Grazie your choice. I promise you won’t regret it. PR | Invite @esmaeexplores 📍 Grazie, Sheffield @graziesheffield #pasta #sheffield #italian #bestitalianinsheffield #musttry taken in Sheffield, UK by @esmaeexplores

Something a little nostalgic… 🎤✨ We were invited to Roundhay Festival as media on Friday and honestly… what a day 🤍 Seeing Jason Derulo, Tinie Tempah and Pitbull all in one day had my inner teenager absolutely screaming 😭🔥 And I still can’t believe how close we were! One thing I have to mention is the VIP upgrade… it is 100% worth it. Even if I hadn’t had media access, I genuinely would’ve upgraded. Having a dedicated space to relax between sets, an exclusive viewing platform and an amazing side-on view of the stage made the whole experience so much more enjoyable 🔥 Now let’s talk food… because WOW 👀 🌯 YorksBurrito served up the most incredible Yorkshire pudding wraps. I genuinely think the lady wrapping them is some kind of magician because they were absolutely perfect. @yorksburrito 🍫 Churros Amigos… those churros were unreal, and don’t even get me started on that chocolate sauce. Honestly, just give me the whole bottle @churrosamigos 🍕 And finally, Homeboy Pizza Co with their mushroom vodka pizza… WOW. I need that sauce recipe because I haven’t stopped thinking about it since @homeboypizzaco The atmosphere all day was incredible, there were Pitbull bald caps everywhere 😂 and… did anyone else peep the squirrel?! Amazing music, amazing food, amazing people and one unforgettable day. Bring on day two! ✨ PR | Invite @esmaeexplores @outsideorg 📍 Roundhay Festival, Leeds @roundhayfestival #pitbull #jasonderulo #tinietempah #roundhayfestival #foodie taken in Leeds, England, UK by @esmaeexplores

Something a little magical… ✨🏰 We were invited to stay at Swinton Estate in Ripon and honestly… I don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere quite like it. It felt like stepping into a real-life fairytale 🤍 Our stay began with the most beautiful Afternoon Tea, and I haven’t stopped thinking about the goats’ cheese quiche since. It was absolutely divine 🫖 We were then treated to the De-Stress spa treatment and wow… heavenly doesn’t even begin to describe it. Afterwards, we spent the afternoon unwinding in the beautiful pools, saunas and steam rooms, completely switching off from the outside world 🌿 As the evening arrived, we enjoyed cocktails before heading to Samuel’s Restaurant for a stunning three-course dinner. The fillet steak literally melted in my mouth and every course was exceptional… One of my favourite moments was wandering around the estate in our cosy Swinton jackets, exploring the breathtaking grounds before heading back to our room. And can we talk about the room?! It was genuinely bigger than my house 😂 The bed was without a doubt the comfiest I’ve ever slept in. The following morning, we woke up to a gorgeous breakfast, the perfect ending to what was one of the most memorable stays we’ve ever had. A huge shoutout also goes to Milo, the Bar Manager. Not only is he an expert when it comes to cocktails, but he was so welcoming, such a great laugh, and genuinely made our stay even more special 🤍 If you’re looking for a luxury countryside escape, a romantic getaway, or somewhere that truly feels like a fairytale, Swinton Estate is simply unforgettable ✨ PR | Invite @esmaeexplores 📍 Swinton Estate, Ripon @swintonestate #fairytale #spa #hotel #ripon #afternoontea taken in Swinton Estate by @esmaeexplores

Something a little crispy… 🍗 We were invited to Tasty Plaice in Meadowhall, Sheffield, and OH MY WORD… BATTERED CHIPS!? 🤤🍟 HEAVENLY. But the absolute star for me had to be the NEW fried chicken. That batter is by far one of the best I’ve ever tasted! Seriously, forget KFC… these might just have stolen the crown for me 😂🍗 And then there’s the array of dipping sauces… because apparently one sauce is never enough! 🤣 So many delicious options to choose from and they went perfectly with the chicken.

Something a little mysterious… 🔐 We were invited to Cryptology Sheffield to take on their Henderson’s Relish escape room and honestly, what an experience! 👀 We tackled the room as a group of 4 and it was the perfect size for getting everyone involved.
