As the weather gets better we all want to sit outside with a cold drink and enjoy the sun whilst eating good food, right? Well, the sun came out and that's exactly what I wanted to do. After thinking about where to go I thought we should try somewhere new in the city centre and visit Jam Cafe in the Hockley district of Nottingham.
Perfectly situated on a sunny Heathcote Street but away from the hustle and bustle of the main shopping areas, Jam Cafe is a music themed eatery with an outside seating area - perfect for enjoying the sunshine. During the day you can enjoy a main meal and a drink then come back later on in the evening to enjoy live music, up-and-coming Dj's and local ales.
If you are ever there I would really recommend you stopping and have a nibble and a drink whilst talking to the friendly owner, Bradley, and his employees. This is really a hidden gem in the Hockley area of Nottingham!
If you like Gin then stop by between 14th August and 30th August to enjoy their Gin Festival 2015.

I was recently contacted by Good Times Homestore to review one of their handmade soaps. The blogger in us all cannot resist a good smelling bath product (am I right?) and so I couldn't help but instantly browse their website to decide which soap I would like to try.
I went for their Rose Geranium and Pink Clay bar which looked so pretty online and the ingredients had me craving to smell it straight away. It arrived only a week or two later and I was not disappointed by it at all. Their soaps are all hand made and only include good things - here is the list of ingredients for the one I received;
Sodium Olivate - basically the salts of fatty acids from Olive Oil
Water (no surprise there)
Sodium Cocoate - the salts of fatty acids from Coconut Oil
Sodium Shea Butterate - the salts of fatty acids from Shea Butter
Kaolin and Red Iron Oxide - Pink Clay
Pelargonium Graveolens - Rose Geranium
Essential Oil
GSE Citrus Grandis Seed Extract - Grapefruit
As you can see, no artificial products are used and the soap has an amazing rose smell and cleansing feel on the skin. To me it smells just like Rose Turkish Delight and even though I am not the biggest of fans of Turkish Delight I definitely like the smell of this!
Other soaps they make include Rosemary and French Green Clay, Mandarin and Kaolin Clay and Sandalwood and Rhassoul Clay and they are all £6.00 RRP. I would recommend the Rosemary soap for the relief of muscle tension and Mandarin soap for a morning pick me up - although I haven't tried these ones just yet!
Let me know if you have tried their soaps or any of their other products! xx
This soap was sent to me as a gift but all opinions are my own.
