It’s SIX weeks until Xmas! And you and I both know how quickly those weeks will disappear. Before we know it, we’ll be scrabbling around for nativity costumes and struggling to find a date free to grab a mulled wine with friends. Whether you’re a ‘Xmas Eve-one-stop -shopper’ or someone that likes to have it all done and dusted by the 1st of December,…
*This blog post contains some affiliate links. Read more about this here * It’s Sunday evening, and I haven’t had a chance to blog this week, so I thought I would share a few things that have caught my eye recently. I am trying really hard to resist the urge to buy the ‘wants’ and stick to the ‘needs’ at the moment. I do have…
*This blog post contains affiliate links* I have had lots of messages recently about Advent Calendars and since they all sell out SO quickly, this blog post is probably a little late. Last year my husband treated me to the Liberty Calendar for Christmas. At first I wasn’t sure if it was worth the expense but, almost a year on, I am still enjoying many…
*This blog post contains some affiliate links* A slightly strange blog post from me this week. I wanted to share a few new purchases. It’s a real hotchpotch with no theme, but hopefully all really useful buys. DUNE BOOTS – £140 I have had my eye on these boots for weeks. I even went in store and tried them on TWICE. And when I…
*This blog post contains some affiliate links* We are off to spend a few days in Bournemouth today, to celebrate my birthday (41 tomorrow, gulp!) and spend some time with my brother and his family.

Most of us know that Vitamin C is a vital nutrient to keep our bodies functioning, but did you know that it is also an extremely important step in your skincare regime? It helps with so many of my skin concerns that I’d say it was one of my ‘couldn’t-live-without’ products. What is an anti-oxidant ? Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants…
*This blog post contains affiliate links* It’s Liv’s 13th birthday this week. I feel strangely emotional about it. I suppose 13 is a big deal. Suddenly your little girl is a little woman and although I have seen this happen gradually, there’s something very significant about the actual day they officially enter their teens. I am very excited for her, of course, but apprehensive too.…
*This blog post contains affiliate links* Jumper – Wyse London Camel Coat – old but similar here (and currently half price!) Leather Leggings – Dom Goor Bag – Aurora London Style Vans Leather leggings, now there’s a wardrobe investment that you’ll never regret. I have had mine for years and there is no denying they were a LOT of money for a pair of…
*This blog post contains affiliate links* I am back home after an amazing couple of days in Nice with the Sky Atlantic. I won’t go into too much detail about the trip because I covered most of it over on stories and I think those that were interested would have tuned in, so probably best not to repeat it all here. But the highlights included…
