Laptop skins from Case App
I was recently contacted by a Swedish Company called CaseApp who produce custom laptop skins and mobile phone cases. They wondered if I would be interested in reviewing one of their custom made products, and as I am the world’s worst at looking after my laptop, I thought this would be a great product to try out. My laptop was purchased last year, but after being used every day it is showing signs of wear and tear. I have snapped plastic on the corner of the lid after dropping it, and there are lots of scratches on the lid too. CaseApp has designs for a laptop skin, but I liked…

Christmas jumpers for everyone
I saw my first Christmas House last night. You know what I mean, the houses that I always refer to as Griswold houses after one of my favourite Christmas films, ‘National Lampoons Christmas Vacation’. I did think it was a little early to be decking the halls as such, but it did give me a warm glow too – Christmas is coming! With all that in mind, my Friday shopping focus could only look at one thing – the Christmas Jumper. I remember when these were something only worn by people trying to be funny or ironic – the dreaded gift from nans and ancient aunts in possession of a…

If there is one available, you should use an automated external defibrillator (AED). Firms like Steroplast sell state-of-the-art AEDs and these devices are now widely available in public places such…

Embracing Faux Fur at Next this season
At the risk of repeating myself for the umpteenth time, I have to say I am not a fan of Winter. It is too cold, too dark and too miserable for me, I love light nights, warm days and sunshine. But one thing I do like about Winter is the way it is suddenly acceptable to add really fun, faux fur pieces into the wardrobe, with the mantra seeming to be ‘the brighter, the better.’ I took a little Christmas shopping trip with my mom and sister on Sunday, and mom treated me to a fabulous soft grey fun fur gilet from Next that I have had my eyes on…
