This truly is an empowering show that will make you laugh, cry and feel all the emotions - but it’ll especially make you realise just how incredible of a woman Cher is, thanks to the wonderful storytelling from the three Cher’s 💃🏻 

Debbie Kurup, Danielle Steers and Millie O’Connell play Star, Lady and Babe respectively and each brought their own unique but star-strikingly similar resemblance of Cher - but on top of that, they could all sing like her. I was blown away the whole show from the beginning opening number which made my jaw drop, to the finale where I danced the night away 🥹

“You have to be the star of your own show” will forever be my mantra alongside “be more Cher” after watching this show 💁🏼‍♀️ oh and that encore at the end! 

It’s a 5* show for me! Will you go and see it? Tickets are on sale and the show runs until this Saturday! ✨

What do you wish for in 2023?
2022… what a year! 🤩 Whilst there has been s 2022… what a year! 🤩

Whilst there has been some challenging and traumatic times like having a 4 year relationship ending, selling my house and moving back in with my parents, I’ve come out the other side and through some sad times, there have been moments of light ✨

I’ve travelled to places I never thought I would, including Greece, Belgium and returned to Tenerife ☀️ I went to my first music festival 🎶 I’ve had such a fun year at work with colleagues I couldn’t get by without ☺️ 

I started counselling to heal and truly get to know myself, I’ve made and lost friends, I’ve had some memorable family times that I wouldn’t have had this year and I’m ending the year on a high from securing my own little cottage to start 2023 with a bang! 🥰

Life happens, shit happens but looking back, I think I’ve had a really transformative, whirlwind year that’s certainly been memorable. What was your highlight of 2022? 👇🏻 #NicoleNavigates

I can’t wait to navigate this journey living as a solo independent woman in my dream cottage 🥹 it’s been a wild year and I never thought I’d be taking this leap, but life is unpredictable and I’m so excited to start a new adventure. Life is too short!

Out of office is on for Christmas 🙌🏻🎄✨ Out of office is on for Christmas 🙌🏻🎄✨ 

This Christmas feels very different but I’m very grateful to be at home with my family. A few things I’m excited for include eating my weight in food (mostly the cheese) drinking hot chocolates and red wine, playing board games, seeing my loved ones faces when I give them my presents and binging the festive tv schedule. 

What things are you looking forward to? 🥰

Christmas party food season is here (swipe for a g Christmas party food season is here (swipe for a glam shot)✨

I had my works Christmas party at @flyinghorseclophill on Friday night and I’ve wanted to visit this restaurant for a while and it didn’t disappoint. The food was top notch 👌🏼

Starting with the fried Brie which was stringy and cheesy (oh so good) followed by the festive burger which had more brie 😂 cranberry sauce, green beans and a big side of potatoes and gravy 🤤 finishing off with a Christmas pudding!

The cocktails were also the highlight of the evening (though I spent most of the time drinking them than taking photos!) but I highly recommend their passion fruit martinis and their amaretto sours which was my first time trying one - no going back now 😍

If you’re in the area, would recommend trying the Flying Horse for an evening out. I’m excited for the rest of the festive season now! Have you visited before?

Work With Me

It has been my passion and mission to work with local brands primarily in Northamptonshire by creating content that wows! With 6 years of marketing, content creation, blogging, PR and social media strategy under my belt, I am confident I know what content makes an impact.

There are a few ways I work with brands:

PR Products & Experiences

I am very fortunate that occasionally, brands will send me products to try and test myself. I only accept them if I feel it’s something I would personally enjoy and that aligns with my ethos and on the condition that there is no obligation or expectation for me to create content or share it across my channels.

If I do share, it will be off my own accord and it’s in an organic and authentic way. If I like it and share it, then yay! If you would like to guarantee coverage, please see the next part…

Paid Partnerships & Sponsored work

I sometimes work with local brands and small businesses on a paid partnership basis, which means I am paid to create and deliver content on my blog and social media channels. These partnerships will have set deliverables meaning they have some creative control and will always have the final say before the content goes live.

As always, I only work with brands that align with my local & independent ethos in Northamptonshire and it has to be something I would use myself – because it’s my blog and my audience trust and rely on my content for gathering their local & independent recommendations!

I have been fortunate to have worked with some fantastic local businesses in Northamptonshire. These include:

  • Silverstone Distillery
  • Hamm Tun Fine Deli
  • Northampton BID
  • Local Grocers
  • Birch Beauty & Beauty Delivered
  • Bumblebee Home Interiors
  • Lemon & Bark
  • Pink Clouding
    … and many more (and you could be on this list!)

I have also been fortunate to have worked with big nationwide brands including The Turkey Kitchen, VISA UK and Bo. If your campaign has a local & independent slant to it, I will consider the request.

How can I work with you!?

As mentioned above, I work with businesses on paid partnerships & sponsored campaigns and PR products/experiences, but here’s what I can also do for you:

  • Sponsor a blog post – if you’d like to sponsor one of my existing pre-written blog posts, or would like to be considered in sponsoring an upcoming guide and being the featured business, this would be a great way of increasing your exposure.
  • Affiliates/discount codes – If you would like to give me an affiliate or discount code for me to share with my audience and you feel it’s something they would enjoy, this is a cost-effective way of working together if you’re new to influencer marketing.
  • Speak at events – I am a chatter and have had experiences talking during events, so if you feel I have something to offer (i.e. chatting about local blogging or social media) I am your gal.
  • Giveaways – Running a giveaway is a mutually beneficial way of working together. For a small fee, I can host a giveaway on my platforms which will bring you brand awareness and maybe a few new followers/buyers!

If you’re a small business interested in working on a campaign together or any of them above, my small business sponsorship packages and media kit are available upon request – just click the button below.

I also offer other freelance services which you can check out below.

Email me about working together

Please note:

If you are hoping to gift me a product (firstly, thank you!) but it’s important to note that I do not accept gifts as payment for content creation. However, I do feature any gifts that I receive and love, with no obligation to post. 

All of my content will follow and abide to the ASA Guidelines. Please read my disclaimer for more information.
