THERE’S nothing like a holiday to recharge your batteries and make you appreciate the awesomeness that is life. And in my opinion, no holiday would be complete without some brilliant holiday songs. For me, whether I’m taking a well deserved break at home or abroad, I know that my favourite songs just enhance my feel-good holiday mood even further. And if I’m holidaying in the UK with my family (which

LIFE: Girls night – staying in or going out?

I’m always eager for any excuse to wear heels – even if it isn’t really much of an excuse! So when I meet up with the girls, you can be absolutely certain that I’m going to be sporting a pair of heels – the most fabulous ones I can dig out from my wardrobe.
