F&F Clothing have sorted your Winter Coat Dilemma
It is getting colder. That is official. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours on the touchline watching my son play football, and I don’t mind admitting I was cold. Really cold. The wind was blowing a gale, the sky was dark and murky and the sun never even made one fleeting appearance. It was a day when a jacket just would not do. It was a day for a proper Winter coat. F&F Clothing have totally got Winter coats sorted. Ultimately we want something that will look great, keep us warm, and be hardwearing enough to last us until Spring. But we don’t want to spend a fortune because…

The Importance of Teddy Bears
I have a teddy bear at the end of my bed. It’s over 40 years old and I wouldn’t part with it for all the money in the world. Every night the hubby kicks it off the bed, and every morning I put it back on the bed again. It’s going nowhere. It’s been with me through bad and good and I guess it can still act like a reassuring comfort blanket at times. Who hasn’t cried into a teddy bear at one time or another? Teddy Bears are an absolute stable of every child’s life, and my boy Joe is no exception. He’s almost 7 and tries to be…

Great British Bake Off Inspiration for Christmas
It is officially the biggest programme of 2015, with 12.29 million viewers tuning into the final to see Nadiya Hussein crowned the well deserved winner. I can only be talking about the Great British Bake Off, the programme that makes stars out of star bakers, has made Mary Berry a fashion inspiration, and has made Paul Hollywood into a sex symbol (something I totally don’t get…but he does have Paul Newman eyes….if you squint!). A fabulous infographic by Bingo Find gives some of the facts and figures about the series that should be loved by aged grannies and spinster aunts, but is, in fact, loved by everyone, not least my…

Fashion Focus – A few Outfits from a Busy Autumn
It suddenly struck me tonight that we are now in the final month of Autumn, and I have yet to do a single #wiwt (What I Wore Today) style post. There have been some reviews of outfits, and also events where I link to what I’ve got on, but a pure outfit post – non, nada, zilch. So, in order to remedy this I have put together a post containing some of my fave outfits from what has been a very busy Autumn. Where possible, I have linked to the actual item, or something very similar. There are a couple of party outfits, what I wore to Disney on Ice,…

Liquid Yoga from Mio
Liquid Yoga. Even the name sounds like something that will be tranquil and relaxing. Mio Skincare has created a range of products that claim to be Liquid Yoga – by that they mean relaxing, soothing and basically a personal masseuse in a bottle. As someone who spends a lot of time walking, and even more playing football in the garden with an active 6 year old, the idea of having my own personal masseuse is very tempting. And if Liquid Yoga isn’t quite George Clooney delivering a massage, it comes pretty close. Mio sells Liquid Yoga so well. It says “..Relax and calm your busy mind; ease hard-working muscles and…
