When Grazia magazine got in touch & asked me if I’d like to be the Grazia Local Ambassador for Leicester, I pretty much bit their hand off! I love my little city & it was so nice to be able to tell the girls at Grazia about all of the amazing places we have here & work alongside them compiling the feature. I even have a little column!
The idea of the regional specials are to give readers the inside scoop on the best places to go, things to do & best kept secrets from local ‘girls about town’. This time the special is focusing on the Midlands including Leicester, Loughborough, Nottingham, Birmingham & Warwick, and if you live in one of these areas you can get this weeks copy (out today!) for just £1!
There are also a host of special offers & discounts from the places mentioned in the top 10 for each city, my favourites for Leicester being 15% off your bar bill at Maiyango, which makes the best & most inventive cocktails in the city, 20% off at both Pink Pigeon & Dolly Mix Vintage, plus coffee & a cake for £3.50 at The Exchange!
I really enjoyed helping to put this feature together, and I’m looking forward to working on more pieces in the future too. There’s just something extra special about seeing your work (& face!) in print that makes it feel even more rewarding. I’ve also done a ‘day in the life’ type diary post for Grazia Daily to go along with this, so I’ll be posting that too once it’s live!

FAIIINT says
Aw, thankyou Marlene! It was so lovely to meet you too, you were exactly as I had imagined as well, except without the strong kiwi accent I’d assumed! Hehe! :)
