On Fridays We Tequila Mockingbird
Every
have one of those Fridays when you just need a cheeky cocktail?
Well I
was defiantly having one of those Fridays following one of those weeks. My
ecommerce project was close to the completion date which of course means that
everything that could go wrong was starting to go wrong!
Half with
one hour until home time I realised that I had plans to meet up with by blogger
friend Chloe of: Life Of Ci which
turned my mood right around!
Sod excel
sheets, skype chats with web developers and frantic calls to our tech team in
Denmark your girl need to fix up herself to go out on the town tonight!
The
location of my salvation was Tequila
Mockingbird (get it? I didn’t realise until I was two porn star martini’s
deep) never heard of it? Well the DMN award-winning chain of popular
neighbourhood cocktail bars are the places to see and be seen in trendy London
locations such as Putney, Tooting and Clapham, Tequila Mockingbird and now
Brixton right around the corner from am and also right up my alley!
This
super cute location just off acre lane is what my version of cheers would be
like accept nobody knew my name the super cute venue has a jazzy décor which includes
an eclectic mix of exotic prints, exposed brick and neon signs displaying
iconic movie quotes.
“You
can’t sit with us!”
Can you
guess where that quote comes from?
Comment with your answer below
90’s hip
hop, R&B pop and I think I may have heard bits of jungle and Garage
thumping through the speakers can’t lie guys I had an amazing time! The
atmosphere was chill but at the same time buzzing and the other attendees all
seemed to be having a good time.
Did I
mention it was 2 four 1 cocktails until 9pm
No?
well lets discuss the cocktails then
well lets discuss the cocktails then
Of course
cocktails are the main event, and with such a plethora of creative mixes and
classic favourites on offer; it would be rude if we didn’t try a few out.
Right
To ease
in I had to go for my all-time fave the porn star martin of course but Tequila
had some serious contenders to my old faithful tipple
Shout
outs to the Caribbean Sailor and the Bramble
Also
check out their signature Mockingbird punch which comes served in a flaming Tiki mug,
Of course
you don’t have to be a part-time cocktail drinking lush like me to enjoy
Tequila Mockingbirds awesome atmosphere
Tequila
Mockingbird will also cater to those seeking refreshment which are not of the
colourful fruity variety, boasting an extensive range of beers, wines and spirits
as well as a selection nibbles
Luckily I
was with my friend and not on a date because the wings was so lovely I couldn’t
even eat them in a lady like fashion lol
I foresee
that Tequila Mocking bird will be the venue for many of my girls nights out and
maybe a few dates.
If you
fancy trying it out please do so.
is located at 64-68 Atlantic Road,
Brixton, London, SW9 8PY
And open till 12am Monday to Thursday and 2am on Fridays and
Saturdays

Personal: Life Updates: unapologetic Unplanned break from blogging and social media sorry not sorry
After surviving 2018 I thought that I could honestly survive anything, what could feel worse than losing my best friend, hero and mentor who everyone else called Sandra or Jeanie but I called Mum.
Then there was the organising of the funeral along with the subsequent family squabbles which accompany the passing of a loved one (Apparently this is a bonified thing) let alone the family lynchpin
Stay busy Work, are the boys ok? is Nana ok? Family dramas +Friends dramas none of which were my actual dramas yet I was right in the middle, got to be more social, shouldn’t I have a serious boyfriend by now, weight game, lupus flares, doctors’ appointments, GOD I need a holiday, I want a new car/lv bag/Gucci belt/ Rolex. I need to decorate my flat
When New Year’s eve came I was happy to say goodbye to 2018 and looked forward to opening a new chapter of my life
Still oblivious to the fact that I spent the better part of 2018 trying not to be stuck with my thoughts and deal with my feelings.
To be fair I honestly thought I had and was kind of proud of myself for getting through the tunnel facing what was on the other side.
I had no what was on the other side
Once it got quiet, the baby had gone, the house was sold, I wasn’t working so I had no demands on my time, I honestly didn’t feel like being around people and there is only so much YouTube and Netflix you can watch
Oh and the final season of Game Of Thrones had come and gone
No distractions
Just me and the realisation that the person who meant the most to me in the world was gone and she wasn’t coming back
Things would never be the same
Deep right
Frigging 2019 it wasn’t meant to be like this.
I didn’t set out with the aim of placing myself into social media isolation I just didn’t feel like posting
It’s been crazy five months which in some ways has contributed towards healing me and my anxiety, but in other ways almost broke me
But I’m still here right
In the entire process, I learned that while blogging at times be a tedious, stressful and lonely process wrapped in stress from self-imposed deadlines, guilt when personal targets are not achieved.
Blogging has allowed me to be more creative, social and adventurous then I would normally be in my daily life.
I have definably missed the blogging and will be back to my regular blogging schedule as of next week
Tons of new content coming soon guys
If you have a blog have you ever or how often do you think of letting it go?
let me know your thoughts in the comments!
