Stories of Hope – Qassim’s Story.
It’s that time of year when I sort out my clothes, Joe’s toys and books in order to have a cull in preparation for Christmas. I try to be ruthless with my sorting, and, when I am finished, I donate all the good but now unwanted stuff to my local charity shop. It is a win-win situation in my view, I am able to make extra space for new things that will be arriving with Santa, and know that my donation is going to a good cause. But have you ever wondered how your donation to Charity helps people – where your money goes and what it actually does? Oxfam…

Beauty Review – Shadow Switch

I just love shoes so much, and whether they have a designer price tag, or are a bargain basement find, shoes are something I can’t resist buying. And I’m not the only one, with the global footwear industry annual revenue put at $52,175,000,000 – and I’m not even sure how you say that! For me, when it comes to womens shoes, the bigger the heel the better, although I do find that I have to have flat days now just to give my feet a break. This time of year is perfect for those who like shoes to…

Pick of the Christmas Lights
[affilinet_performance_ad size=468×60] November 1st! That means we have less than 2 months to wait until it is Christmas – in fact we will be eating that turkey in just 55 days. And, as I said in my post yesterday that looked at Christmas party dressing, it does mean that quite a few of my posts are going to be looking at all things festive. Today I am turning my attention to Christmas lights. Christmas lights are now such an integral part of our Christmas celebrations, adorning our homes both inside and out. Outside lights can look so beautiful, especially if your front garden had trees and bushes that can also…
