We all know that make-up hides a multitude of sins. We can look good with a squeeze of foundation, a smattering of powder and a sweep of the bronzer. Pop on some mascara, some cute pink blusher and a bold lipstick, and most of us are ready to face the day. It’s a part of many women’s (and some men’s)…
This week has been HECTIC I tell thee! Lots of late nights, a bit of falling asleep on the sofa and waking up stiff, freezing and disorientated at 4.30 in the morning, a trip to London & being custodian of the school class bear for a day. His name is Dave and he needs a good wash. I’ve been so…
A couple of weeks ago I sent some blood off in the post and found out the next day why I feel so zonked a lot of the time; really low iron levels! Beats waiting for a few days to get a doctors appointment, then coming back to see the nurse then waiting four days (or more!) for the results!…

I’ve finally got round to writing up the next part of my trip to Israel; Masada & the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth, at 420 metres below sea level. As we drove towards the Dead Sea from Jerusalem and got lower and lower my ears popped a couple of times! The Dead Sea is…
The clocks going back is always a fun time in any parents lives, my kid were just starting to sleep in a little later as the mornings were darker then BAM they go back. Lighter mornings mean earlier wake ups and more tired parents. Not fun! Proper blackout blinds are something that I keep thinking about getting for the kids…
It’s not often that I get really excited about a Secret Santa present. In the past they’ve been a bit naff, normally as a result of a workplace gift exchange resulting in a tub of random body lotion and a couple of tealights. This year however I was invited to take part in a gift swap with AO.com, and asked…
I have been listening to podcasts for a good few years now, consuming all sorts of info and entertainment. I listen to different sorts of podcasts at different times, including some really boring ones about statistics when I am trying to fall asleep! The latest addition to my podcast reel is The Discovery Adventures from Land Rover, a family friendly…
I’m still working my way towards a capsule wardrobe, and am spending lots of my spare time browsing online to find suitable pieces to include! I’m finding it quite hard though, as I need to have items for every eventuality that I really like as I’ll be wearing them on a small rotation for three months or more! The latest…
