LIFE / MONEY TIPS FOR BUSY MUMS

When I was at University, I got myself into a bit of a pickle money wise. I spent what I didn’t have. I ran up credit card debt on a whim.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SEE OUR OWN BEAUTY?

There was an older girl in my primary school whom I adored when I was little. I thought she was the coolest, funniest and most beautiful girl I had ever met and I wanted to be just like her. She wore the best clothes, was bright as a button and had a nonchalance about her which was remarkable. Whatever that infamous ‘it’ is, boy did she have it. I would

Well in many respects it was, yes. But let me tell you, trying to find a suitable party outfit that wasn’t black, navy or burgundy was like trying to find a needle in a haystack! Some of you
