HOW MUCH IS SOCIAL MEDIA TAKING AWAY FROM YOU AND I?

It began to feel like a job. Another job to add to my growing list of daily tasks and I found myself wondering “why on earth am I doing this?!” And also and perhaps more importantly, “what am I getting from this?” Instagram. The place of beautifully captured and edited photographs, seemingly perfect lives and an algorithm that’s making it trickier than ever to be seen or heard by your

HOW TO MASTER LONG-DISTANCE FRIENDSHIP

Change isn’t always comfortable – but it’s usually inevitable. If a friend is moving away, it needn’t be a sad thing; actually, it can be positive. Relocating can boost our confidence and allow us to see more of what life has to offer. And thanks to your close bond, neither of you will have to worry about losing touch. If you want to help your buddy settle into their new

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU’RE FREELANCING FROM HOME

I’ve been freelancing now for nearly a decade and during this time, I’ve mostly spent it working from home. I did dabble with occupying a desk in a shared office for around a year or so, but in the end, found that working from home was preferable and also much easier for me. It isn’t however always a breeze. And as appealing and as wonderful home working definitely is, there

Now, nearly a week

My debut book ‘A Little Pick Me Up’ is now officially out in the world, which I guess also means that I am now officially an author. Wowser. Like so many of us I adore books. And have done for forever! I was that

Pumping Life Into The Heart Of Your Home

Kitchens are an intrinsic part of the modern home. A place for social activities, enjoying some you-time, and, of course, cooking all of your great food, it would be an understatement to say that you need this room. With it being so important, a lot of people invest a huge amount of time into building this space into something perfect. What it often lacks, though, is a touch of real

AN UPDATE & A LITTLE APOLOGY

Remember me?! Ah, I’m so sorry folks. I’ve really neglected this blog and you guys recently. What can I say, life has been busy and as Leo has grown from a beautiful baby into a terrific (and occasionally testy!) toddler, the days have whizzed by so quickly, I’ve barely had the chance to even sit down and think about blogging, let alone actually blog. Plus, I have a book to

MONEY / HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT LENDER FOR YOU

We all need a little help with cash at times. For some, it’s a personal loan to help them make some changes to their house or install a new boiler, for others, it’s a mortgage to ensure that they can purchase the perfect house. When it comes to borrowing money from a bank, building society, or credit union, it’s important to make sure that you consider your options carefully. Not
