    Sparkle and Shine Indeed! Nativity The Musical

    Christmas came to Wolverhampton tonight, and whilst it may be slightly early, I couldn’t feel more festive if I tried. Because if you are looking for a show that is the epitome of feelgood, family entertainment, then you must see Nativity the Musical, which is delighting audiences at the Wolverhampton Grand. I went to see the show last night and was totally enchanted by a show that has so much heart and warmth. In the words of my fave Christmas song, it Sparkles and Shines from start to finish. You may remember Nativity from the Martin Freeman movie that has become a bit of a Christmas classic, but for those…

    Create a Perfect space in your loft

    Many people have loft conversions on their properties these days, whether it be to create extra bedrooms for an extended family, an home office, an extra upstairs bathroom, even a space for a truculent teenager to exist in without having to see and mix with any other human beings. But if I was to transfer my loft into a living space, then I would love to create a dream haven, just for me. Creating a Living Space We have a rather large loft space that would be perfect for transformation, and what I would most like to make in the eaves of my house would be a personal dressing room,…

Today I am turning my attention to the men in your life, the dad’s, husbands, cousins, brothers, sons, grandsons and male friends who are special to you. This is a list that avoids the socks and the soap on a rope and Old Spice, and instead tries to look a little outside the box by taking inspiration from some of the men in my life.

    Gorgeous Lingerie From Tutti Rouge

    I love Tutti Rouge! I love the fact that the brand has realised that fuller figures and larger busts still want soft and beautiful underwear, lingerie that makes them feel sexy and attractive, and don’t want to be stuck in boned contraptions that are more like cages than support wear. Tutti Rouge not only understands this, it replies to it in flying colours and creates pieces that you really want to wear. One of their signature products is the bralette, a soft bra in their signature Rougette lace, with soft cups, but with plenty of support through the use of elastication that comes under the cups. The Esme bralette, which…

    Bonfire Night Fun

      Remember, Remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot. Bonfire night is one of my favourite nights of the year, I love the chance to get wrapped up in your new Winter woollies, watching the sky light up with the most beautiful fireworks, keeping warm around a bonfire, whilst filling my face with hotdogs and hot chocolate. In general, I am not a fan of the great outdoors once Summer is ended, but for Bonfire Night I will make an exception. During my childhood it was the norm to have a bonfire and fireworks in your garden, with Catherine Wheels tied to fence posts, bangers that made a…
