A Year Round Valentine – When the Day Is Over

Now, there's so much to the history of traditional St Valentine's Day - but that's not what I'm here for so if you are then skip forward. I'm not a Valentine's hater by any stretch. But you won't find me in a huff if there's no bouquet of roses waiting for me. For example, this …

Stackers Peaks Ring Holder – Cute and Functional!

You're ready to do the washing up/cleaning/shower and you need to take your rings off. Where do you put them? I must say I am notorious for putting something down and forgetting in an instant where I've put it. I forget which "safe place" the ring box is currently in and simply putting them down …

Why a long haul flight was my first

As you've noticed it's been EXTREMELY quiet on the blog front! In the past two months I married my best friend and we bought our first home together. So safe to say it's been rather busy and working full time in the mix was beyond words! Following all the commotion of wedding planning and house …

Bargain Hunting in Durham – Home Decor Edition

Earlier this month I posted about a Day Out in Durham had by friend Amy and I. Now, I'm the sort of person who flocks to those bright red SALE signs and isn't shy to root through the bargain rail. Don't get me wrong I've also been known to splash unnecessarily on products. But while …

Now some of you may have already heard of The Happiness Planner , but those of you who don't - or want to read more about them - here's my take. I feel like I tend to put myself almost second to others and concentrate more on their wellbeing rather than my own. Not that …
