Beauty Review – Shadow Switch
If you are looking for beauty stocking fillers for Christmas, I think I have stumbled on one that is both affordable, practical and comes in a rather cute tin, Shadow Switch, from the up and coming beauty brand Beauty Essentials is a dry brush cleaning tool that allows you to clean your brushes by just sweeping them over the sponge. This means you no longer need to use a new brush when you are using different colours, and allows you to travel light – no need to take a host of brushes when you are traveling on holiday or going away for the weekend. The Shadow Switch allows you 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…

An Autumn Fashion Wishlist
I have a confession to make, I recently started to bet on the lottery again. After years of not bothering with the UK National Lottery, due to the amount of numbers being increased making the chance of winning even more remote, and then the ever increasing price, I suddenly realised that the slogan was right all along, you do have to be ‘in it to win it.’ So I have started to have a little flutter each week, in the hope that ‘it could be me.’ I no longer bother with the UK lottery however, but instead stick to the Euro Millions, which seems to have bigger jackpots. I also…

Sorting your home security for Christmas
You’re already starting to get excited. You’ve seen numerous countdowns on Facebook (how many weeks exactly until Christmas? How many Saturday are there until Christmas Day?). You’ve now started the shopping as you realise it really is going to, once again, creep up on you. You’re planning visits to grotto’s, pantomimes and more grown up, festive nights out. Yes, your Christmas plans are all in order. You’ve got this covered. But have you really? What about your Christmas home security? It is a sad fact of life that burglaries see a marked increase over the festive period. Burglaries actually peak in December and early January, with many people who go…

The Incredible Intergalatic Journey Home from Lost My Name
I have said on many occasions that I think the best kind of books are the personalised ones. A personalised gift is truly one of a kind, and is very special to the person that receives it, it is something that they will want to keep and treasure forever. Lost My Name produce beautifully illustrated, personalised story books for children. Their first book was, not surprisingly, called ‘Lost My Name’ and followed a child on a special journey as they traveled to find out their name, collecting letters from weird and wonderful animals on route. Joe loved this book and we have read it over and over, it never loses…
