Keeping up our Best Things in Life is very important to us as it
makes us happy to look back on how far we've come and also our feelings each
month so despite not having time to breathe sometimes at Not Dogs London here's
April's blog post...
Katie
Best Things in Life
I used Easter to finally visit the National Space Centre which I can honestly say was absolutely
brilliant. Along with the other children I had lots of fun crawling through
space tunnels and learning about how heavy a can of baked beans would be on
each of the different planets. The best bit was the fantastic show at The
Planetarium, narrated by Rupert Grint. ‘We are Aliens’ was a
stunningly produced short film exploring the possibility of life on other
planets, I would urge anyone to go & get your mind blown!
Seeing how much my mum
uses Countdown Keeper! I know she is totally biased, but she uses the app how we
envisioned and hoped people would use it, and she loves using it every day to
keep track of her very busy social life – it definitely makes me smile!
Creating a new Not Dog! On our travels in Bali we enjoyed a delicious
breakfast which has now inspired a brand new Not Dog topping, we will be
trialing it at a private event later this month, but it has already past the
Katie & Jane test, so watch this space!
How would you describe
your personal style?
I have a simple rule I live by when it comes to personal style –
stick to what I feel comfortable in. This ensures that whatever trend or style
is in season, I wear my version of it. My mum has always said it’s
not what you wear, it’s how you wear it. Although saying
this; my personal style has took somewhat of a downturn lately as all I’ve
been wearing is my ‘Kickin’ Katie’ Not Dogs uniform!
What's your favourite
thing about London?
At the moment it has to be The Shard, I get to walk past it every
day and look at it from afar before I go to bed at night and it really is
magnificent! My friends will always be my true favourite thing about London, it’s
always a great excuse to visit and enjoy the capital.

Best Things in Life
Easter - well
actually, the whole Easter weekend... a lovely break to catch-up with friends
and family and also the perfect excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast, lunch
and dinner! I brought some beautiful Easter treats from Daylesford - the real
hens eggs with praline chocolate inside were out of this world!
Wedding fever!
Although I'm not one to have dreamed of a fairytale wedding I'm getting very
excited about one of my oldest and best friends big day in May. I was
over-the-moon when Lucy asked me to be her bridesmaid and cannot wait for a
full-filled day spent with our closest family and friends in our little
village.
The Botanist, Birmingham -
We had a wonderful lunch on the opening day of The Botanist in central
Birmingham. There's six restaurants around the UK all serving an amazing
selection of botanical drinks and inspired food. Herbs are everywhere in this
unique place, not only in the food and drinks but as decorations too which
makes you feel like you're in a homely greenhouse. The service was excellent
and our lunch of perfectly baked camembert, beef BBQ skewer with rosemary
seasoned chips and scampi in a basket with homemade tartar sauce in a mini
watering can was a lovely escape from Easter chocolate!
How would you describe
your personal style?
I love to dress for the
occasion - you'll regularly see me in a 'themed' outfit - Easter pinks and
yellows, Christmas tartan and reindeers and summer pineapples! But, in this
fast-paced digital age, I love how trends are so personal now, no longer do you
pick up Vogue to see the latest season's fashions but head to Pinterest and
Instagram and get inspired by other people's personal styles. I'd say my
personal style is a mix of what I feel amazing in, the trends and a touch of
online inspiration but overall I simply pick clothes based on my mood whether
that's carefree in the Summer or glammed-up for a night out!
What's your favourite
thing about London?
I love that there's so many amazing things to keep you entertained in London. Katie and I have
a 'London List' filled with things we'd like to do while living there
part-time... we've already managed to tick off a few including pushing
ourselves to the limit at the Skinny Bitch Collective, enjoying Spanish
tapas at Jose on Bermondsey Street and picking up an amazing coffee at TheWatch House. Next on the list is take a class at Frame and go to Richard
Branson's favourite Greek restaurant!
