The Flower Effect
I have fallen more than a little in love with a sweet film I first saw on You Tube. ‘The Flower Effect’ has been produced by an initiative of The Flower Council of Holland, Funnyhowflowersdothat.co.uk , and is designed to show that flowers can bring happiness and joy to even the most miserable of days. It features a beautiful young girl called Sophie, who finds a beautiful bouquet left beside her on a park bench. She thinks the flowers may be from Paul, the man she loves.

Ikea’s Time Travel experiment with Jeff & Beth
We have all seen the first part of the hilarious Ikea Time Travel Experiment campaign, where a young couple were hypnotized by the fabulous hypnotist Justin Tranz. They believed they were in their future, complete with a grown up daughter and a home, which was, in fact, the room within an IKEA store. (You can revisit that ad here.)

Revamp your living room with John Lewis
If you’ve ever looked around your living room and longed to see something different, then you will know exactly where this post is coming from. My son Joe is now five, and it is safe to say that in his five years he has done his utmost to wreck the house. From crayon on the laminate floor, to endless drinks spilled on the sofa and cushions, children have absolutely no understanding of just how much you love your sofa, or why you treasured that vase, or why carpets and biscuits just don’t mix. But completely redecorating a room does not come cheap, and whilst your kids are still under the…
