If there’s one thing I love, it’s saving money. I like saving money and getting good deals wherever I can. Here are some of my current favourites: Top Cashback – I wrote a post about cashback sites a while back; I try really hard to use a cashback site – Read more…
You’ve probably heard of Camilla Sacre-Dallerup from Strictly. In 2008 she was a household name, but after she won the show she quit and pretty much disappeared. She left her celebrity status behind her, and set out on a path to reinvention instead. She changed careers to become an author, Read more…
I have been using Gmail since it first launched in 2004, and I love it. I use it for my personal emails, my blog emails and my business emails. That adds up to an awful lot of email traffic coming through my inbox every day, especially when you add in Read more…
This is a guest post from Emelie Schepp, author of Marked for Life which was released yesterday. I will be reviewing the book on this blog next week. Meanwhile, in this post Emelie talks about how she managed to devote time to both her children and getting her writing career off Read more…
I had never heard of Scaachi Koul before, but having seen this book recommended everywhere from Goop to wellbeing podcasts, I thought I would give it a go. It was also often placed alongside books by Sloane Crosley, who I absolutely love.

We were sent an Animal Match game from Orchard Toys to celebrate their Mini Games. S loves a good game, and what’s great about this new range is that they’re all small enough to pop into a backpack and take on a little outing with you. When we go out Read more…
I meditate daily, and every time I mention meditation to someone, I get the same response over and over (and over and over) again: I can’t meditate; when I try to my brain just kicks into overdrive. Here’s the one thing nobody tells you about meditation though: that happens to everyone. Every Read more…
S is always excited to receive post, and when two starter packs of Num Noms series 3 arrived, she was really excited! What are Num Noms? It’s a valid question! They are the latest range of collectible toys – but what makes these different is that they are scented. The characters Read more…
It would appear that we are having a heatwave. It’s been rather warm of late, and since we’re used to the standard British summer (rain), some of us are struggling to continue business as usual. Here are some handy (and some not so handy) tips for coping with a heatwave… Read more…
I buy – and read – a lot of books. There is a teetering stack of books next to my desk downstairs, another in the living room, and three next to my bed – as well as two book cases crammed with books! My “TBR” pile is ridiculous, so I’ve Read more…
I love social media, and have been on Facebook and Twitter since they were fairly new. I spend quite a lot of time on them for my personal use, for my business and for the businesses whose social media accounts I look after. Social media can be great for those Read more…
Ok, I admit it: I’m a closet Kardashians fan. A while back I reviewed Khloe Kardashian’s book, Strong Looks Better Naked. I’ve not read any of the other Kardashian books (I think there are quite a few now), but I was interested to read Caitlyn’s book. When stories first started emerging Read more…
I try to always be positive, even in the face of negative situations. I really believe that if we allow ourselves to adopt a negative outlook it will just create and attract more negativity. Plus looking on the bright side just feels better, day to day. Everyone has bad days Read more…
I was absolutely delighted to receive a pre-release copy of Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig for review last month. I had been asked to publish my review on the release date. When the book arrived and was quite thick, I panicked; how would I read this before the review was due? Read more…
I wrote a post the other day about accepting or asking for help as a single parent. I received a couple of messages after this from people saying they knew single parents and wanted to help them, but didn’t want to appear condescending or rude by offering their help. Or Read more…
When you’re a single parent, it can be hard to get everything done. What can be harder is asking for help when you need it – and accepting it when it’s offered. I try to avoid asking for help because I don’t want people to feel that they have to Read more…
