Celebrating Valentine’s Day in style (for two pe

Celebrating Valentine’s Day in style (for two people who usually don’t!) 💛 what a night!

When I heard @burntlemonchef was coming to @tenhandscafe to do a special Valentine’s Day Tasting Menu, I knew I had to book us in! 🙌🏻 it consisted of 6 incredible courses that had some weird but wonderful food combinations that I wouldn’t normally put to tether but absolutely worked!

One of the highlights for me was the Chocolate Delice with Black Olive Caramel, Black Olive & Chocolate Crumb with Italian Meringue and Dulce De Leche 🤤 and all washed down with wine pairings!

I hope to see these two local businesses do more together in the future! I may write a bit more about the evening in detail!

Have you experienced a tasting menu before? Tell me what you got up to last night 👇🏻 #NavigatingNorthants

If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you

If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you going to love someone else? 💗 name that quote!

Whether you’re single, in a relationship, separated, married, heart broken or totally head over heels in love ❤️ don’t let today get you down

It’s just one day and remember, there’s half price on chocolate tomorrow 🍫 however, I do hope today gives you a reason to show the love for others around you and all the local businesses who are doing something for the occasion and then continue that all year round!

Usually, Josh and I don’t celebrate Valentines Day as we think you should show love and appreciation all year round. We’ve never got each other cards! 😂 However, tonight we are going out for a tasting menu at @tenhandscafe with @burntlemonchef which we don’t really count as a Valentines Date but more “Friday night date night!” which we are very excited about!

Tell me in the comments what you’re up to, regardless of whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not and if you’re going to be eating anywhere local this weekend👇🏻 #NavigatingNorthants

THE BEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE JACKET POTATO GUIDE 🥔

THE BEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE JACKET POTATO GUIDE 🥔 Swipe for potato foodie porn 👀 can you tell which topping is my favourite?

Nope, I’m not joking. I have actually written a Jacket Potato guide! Not sure if I’ve gone mad, or I’ve run out of ideas 🤣 but in all seriousness, who doesn’t love this comfort food - it’s literally perfect for anytime of the year and is my go-to lunch if I’m out and about!

I’ve ate at a lot of places, granted I’m pretty boring with my choice of toppings, but you can beat beans with lots of sprinkled cheddar cheese on top 🤤 check out what other places I’ve mentioned who do a stellar spud in my blog post!

Tell me your favourite jacket potato topping and let’s indulge 😍 #NavigatingNorthants #NorthantsFoodGuide

THE LIFE OF A NORTHAMPTONSHIRE BLOGGER 👠 things

THE LIFE OF A NORTHAMPTONSHIRE BLOGGER 👠 things are getting busy on Nicole Navigates!

During the Christmas break, I really went to town in planning where I wanted to take this online space in 2020 🤔 I said to myself “if I’m at the same place at the end of the year as I am at the beginning, then I’m not doing something right” 💭 I’ve been working on Nicole Navigates for 5 years and I don’t see any signs of stopping!

There’s a lot going on, so lemme catch you up:

The blogging workshop at @laterrazaupton is almost booked up! 🙌🏻 and I’m excited to have a variety of small businesses, charities and aspiring bloggers joining us!

I launched details on the Northamptonshire Independent Mother’s Day Guide due to the popularity of the Valentine’s one 💗 which is still on the blog if you’re looking for some last minute inspo!

I know have a solid plan of what I want to do for IGTV! I’m late to the wagon, but after a very inspiring meeting at Facebook HQ for work (very lucky, yes!) ✨ I’m excited to make and share new video content on here!

And between that, I’ve been consistent in posting new content every Monday and Thursday on the blog, plus bonus content! 👩🏻‍💻 who knew I could be so organised!

Usually this time of year, I truly hit the new year slump and just want to hide and last year it took me AGES to get organised, so god knows, maybe 2020 is the year 💫 I truly believe that if you ask the universe for something and put positivity out there, you’ll receive it!

Gosh, that caption went on a bit! So tell me: what 3 business/side hustle goals do you have for this year? 💭 #NavigatingNorthants

The Vegan Market at Abington Park Museum was a success! ✨ did you attend?

If not, there’s a NEW blog post all about it, who we saw and most importantly, what we purchased and ate (can someone explain why I am cradling a very delicious Sweet Potato & Spinach Pie from @natashathelovingchef like a baby? 😂) but in all seriousness, it was delish!

I figured I attend and go and support so many food markets and fairs that I should feature them on the blog more 🙌🏻 but you can swipe to see some foodie goodness here too!

Keep an eye out for Abington Park Museum’s upcoming food markets, including their Spring one on Saturday 25th April!

Did you attend on Saturday? If not, let me know which food festivals and fairs you’re most excited for? 👇🏻 #NavigatingNorthants

NORTHANTS FOOD GUIDE ADDITION 👇🏻 Brunch at @

NORTHANTS FOOD GUIDE ADDITION 👇🏻 Brunch at @thegreenroombrackley!

I’ve mentioned how much I love Brackley at the moment! It has some really lovely independents shops, cafes and restaurants so it’s defintley an area I want to navigate more to!

I’ve enjoyed brunch and lunch here before, so we decided to take Josh’s mum here on Friday morning and basically: we were all in the mood for scrambled egg 🍳 and you can choose from a range of toppings on sourdough or granary bread - I never thought halloumi and egg would work so well!

It’s now featured in my #NorthantsFoodGuide for brunch and they’ll be back open tomorrow, so do make sure you check them out 🙌🏻 but right now, I think I’ll stay indoors as it’s windy as hell!

Let me know if you check it out this week! Or what other brunch spots I should be featuring 👇🏻 #NavigatingNorthants
