6 Must-Have Essentials for the Autumn Clutch Bag
Autumn is almost here. Along with the crisper and cooler temperatures and colourful leaves comes great excuses to eat delicious comfort food, dress in delightfully warm and stylish clothing and carry the perfect fall clutch to work or shopping. While it is pretty easy to put whatever supplies you need in a regular-sized purse, carrying a clutch takes a bit more planning. Basically, you merely need to pare down what you carry while finding items that will do double duty whenever possible. For example, check out the following fall clutch essentials: A Smartphone with a Great Camera Instead of trying to stuff a regular bulky camera and your phone into…

Happy 1st Birthday Nosh & Quaff
Last week saw one of Birmingham’s most popular and unusual restaurants celebrate it’s 1st birthday. And, because this is the restaurant that saucily encourages its patrons with the suggestion ‘Let’s Get Messy’, Nosh & Quaff celebrated in some style, with Pornstar Bellinis, live entertainment and some fabulous new dishes. It was quite a night. Nosh & Quaff is a restaurant that I had not visited until last week, mainly because of its reputation as the best place to eat Lobster in Birmingham. As everyone I know seemed to have tried the said lobster – getting messy in the process, and as I hate lobster, I didn’t think this was the…

From fluid style 70s metallics and crinkling, to more elegant chiffon styles that could also work for day wear, the two ‘p’s are something well worth adding to your wardrobe.

Since then they have been a steady part of each season’s looks, varying in length and fabric,…

Sourcing a garage through ‘Book My Garage’
Today it seems we do everything on line. We shop for our groceries through online supermarkets and then have our food delivered. We book our holidays online and print off our own tickets.

We literally spend our lives organising said lives online. The same is true when it comes to our cars. Or at least it is almost true. For whilst we will buy a car online, and will hunt out the best deals when it…

NRS Healthcare – Raising Alzheimer’s Awareness
I lost my nan to an aggressive form of Alzheimer’s. This was in 1998, but even today, almost 20 years on, I can still remember everything in vivid detail, from the moments when we cried with despair that there was nothing we could do, and laughed out loud because it was the only thing to do. Alzheimer’s takes away the person you love, even if they are still there in body, and despite the fact that it affects so many people – 1 in 14 people over 65, 1 in 6 people over the age of 80, it is still a disease that we seem to know so little about,…
