Getting your holiday hype on
A recent You Gov poll found that only 31% off people get excited when packing for a holiday, and that, once they are there, 1 in 3 woman spend time every day worrying about their weight. I think this is just so sad, holidays should be exciting and enjoyable, with the fun starting the minute you start packing and begin a holiday countdown. Europa Pharmacy are trying to change this negative approach to holidays, and have started a campaign called #holidayhype. This is all about putting the fun back into holidays from the minute you pull that suitcase from the top of the wardrobe, until the day you shut your…

My hand luggage essentials
As we move into May, the realisation comes that it is getting very close to holiday time, and I start to think, once again, of what it is I’m going to be packing, both in the suitcase, and in my hand luggage.

The weather forecasts are suggesting that light rain showers will be occurring throughout the weekend, and so I’m guessing that I will be living in jeans. Luckily I have some great new jeans…

Reviewed – The Salamander Eco Cotton dress from Gudrun Sjoden
When we look at fabrics that are suitable for summer dresses, we seem to be naturally drawn to cool linens and cotton. I’m not a real fan of linen – I love the look on everyone else, but on myself I always look and feel like I’ve slept in my clothes. But cotton is another story, the practical thin layer that keeps us cool and avoids those lived in creases. The Salamander Eco Cotton dress from Gudrun Sjoden is one of those perfect summer pieces in eco cotton. It is no secret to readers of Fashion-Mommy that I am a huge fan of Gudrun Sjoden, the vibrant prints, unique designs…
