Outside the Box: Wedding Party Gifts That Go Above and Beyond Expectation
Your bridesmaids do more than wear pretty dresses and stand next to you when you get married (even if coming to fittings for the dresses should count as real work, too) — they are there for you to count on for anything that you may need. You can turn to them for suggestions, for help packing for your wedding, for beauty emergencies, to keep track of all the gifts, to run errands, and in general, for help with anything that will help you focus on the task at hand, which is getting married. For all the help that your friends generously shower on you, you must want to show them…

Escaping to some Winter Sun
That’s it, we are officially in Christmas season. John Lewis have released their advert this morning and it is another absolute triumph, a real tear jerker entitled ‘The Man in the Moon’. This very fact, combined with the passing of both Halloween and Bonfire Night, means that we are now safely on the home stretch towards Christmas. But what if your best answer to Christmas and Winter is to escape it? What if you like a little Winter Sun. There are certainly some real bargains to be found at this time of year, with companies like Sunshine.co.uk offering cheap flights, hotels and package holidays while the season is quieter. But,…

All the charm of Christmas with Lily Charmed
There’s a reindeer, a penguin, a snowflake and a Christmas tree. No, I’m not talking about Disney’s follow up to Frozen, but the beautiful, magical Christmas charm collection from Lily Charmed. These stunning pendants and bracelets are gorgeous gift ideas for moms, sisters, aunties and best friends, and could also be the perfect answer for those who want to wear something Christmassy, but find the ubiquitous jumper a little bit too much. I have been a fan of Lily Charmed, and its quirky, adorable charms, since I discovered they had created a Custard Cream charm – how could anyone resist a tribute to their favourite biscuit. I loved the fact…

Reviewed – Handmade Burger Co. at Grand Central Birmingham
The arrival of Grand Central Birmingham has meant the opening of lots of new eateries, selling a wide variety of different cuisines. On Sunday I was invited to check out on of those restaurants, the Handmade Burger Co, which offers one of the biggest selections of burgers I have ever seen. So, after Joe had made his football debut for Wyrley Rangers, and we were all suitably starving after a morning on the footie touchline, we made our way to my new favourite shopping centre to try out the handmade Burgers of the Handmade Burger Co. The restaurant is another that has that slightly industrial feel to it, with a…

Christmas treats for the feet
Feet! Probably the most maligned parts of our body and certainly ones most in need of love and tender care when it comes to Winter. From trudging through all manner of inclement weather – snow, sludge, rain puddles that seem to reach your knees, to losing all that freedom they enjoy in Summer sandal season, our feet seem to be constantly cold, constantly wet, and definitely in need of a pamper once December arrives. In honour of tootsies everywhere, this post is dedicated to all things feet, from cute socks and tights that brighten up the darkest day, to real pampering treats that will make even the driest, cracked skin…
