Loving House of Fraser Homewares
I took a little trip to Birmingham last week, and ended up in House of Fraser, which I have to say is one of my favourite department stores. I love to linger in the Beauty department, and also have a real love for the Biba clothing section. But I never really spend much time in the home wares section if I’m being really honest. So, trying to waste a little time whilst I waited for my mom and sister to arrive, I made my way up to the 4th floor… instantly fell in love! There were just so many things that I wanted to buy. From Wedgewood Christmas decorations to…

Extra storage from the Plastic Box Shop
I cannot be the only one looking at a child’s Christmas list and thinking ‘where are we going to put all these toys?’, or trying to sort the wardrobe from Summer to Winter (I know I’m late, but two weeks ago the weather was still fairly glorious). and struggling for space to store the summer clothing until the warm weather comes around again. If you are also facing similar dilemmas, then the Plastic Box Shop would be a great website for you to take a look at. The Plastic Box Shop has a fantastic range of storage solutions that will basically address any problem area. If you need storage for…

Laptop skins from Case App
I was recently contacted by a Swedish Company called CaseApp who produce custom laptop skins and mobile phone cases. They wondered if I would be interested in reviewing one of their custom made products, and as I am the world’s worst at looking after my laptop, I thought this would be a great product to try out. My laptop was purchased last year, but after being used every day it is showing signs of wear and tear. I have snapped plastic on the corner of the lid after dropping it, and there are lots of scratches on the lid too. CaseApp has designs for a laptop skin, but I liked…

Destination Christmas has arrived at Selfridges
When do you officially start your countdown to Christmas? Is it when you first realise that every advert on TV is for some sort of toy? Is it when you see the giant tins of Quality street have arrived in your local supermarket? Maybe your countdown doesn’t begin until the first Christmas lights switch on, or until you see the John Lewis advert, or maybe you are far more traditional, and start your countdown when you open that first window on your advent calendar. For me, the Christmas countdown starts when Selfridges open Destination Christmas, opening the curtains on their wonderful festive windows, and introduce the ‘elfridges’ who are there…

Dettol Baby Blanket Campaign
Dettol has recently launched a special Baby Blanket Donation charity campaign, with the aim of highlighting the dangers of bacteria on blankets, along with the sad statistics which reveal that there is a real shortage of baby blankets available to infants born to disadvantaged families. Dettol ambassador Rachel Stevens from S Club 7 launched the campaign by donating the first blanket to the cause. The Campaign is one that will resonate with mom’s everywhere. Dettol and Rachel are encouraging mums across the UK to get involved with the campaign by donating their own babies blankets. The message is “keep the memories, not the bacteria”. Blankets can be donated by Freepost.…
