Friday Five: Easy ways to help you relax

AS the fabulous Carrie once said in Sex & The City, everyone these days seems to be ‘sooooo busy!’. True isn’t it? Is it just me or have we all seem to have lost the plot a little and forgotten how to totally relax and rest up? Personally I blame smartphones. Controversial I know. Yes they are amazing, yes I couldn’t live without mine either but come on…how many of

FRIDAY FIVE: What we can learn from the ‘Fabulous Fashionistas’

I’VE already decided what I’m going to wear if I live to be a ripe ol’ age. I’m going to wear ballgowns and over the top frocks alongside lots of faux fur and huge sparkly jewellery. Yes folks, I’ve already got my future wardrobe for when I’m an old lady, well and truly planned out. So this week, when I watched the brilliant C4 documentary Fabulous Fashionistas, I was smiling

LIFE: A Saturday night with Germaine Greer

AT about 8pm on Saturday night, I was battling with myself not to cry. I wasn’t watching X-Factor or a sad soppy film. Nor was I at a wedding or in the middle of a heated argument. I was listening to the brilliant, passionate and totally inspirational Germaine Greer speak at my local theatre and I was trying not to cry because I didn’t want to end up a sniffling,

FRIDAY FIVE: Some body image inspiration…

I’VE been a little quiet on the blogging front of late. We’re having a new kitchen put in currently which means life is a little chaotic and so, finding the time to sit down and blog has been, shall we say, a challenge.

STYLE: Quotes to dress by…

I love fashion and all manner of pretty things. However when it comes to looking good, I’m much more interested in personal style than dressing ‘on trend’ or ‘to be in Vogue.’ When you know your style, you also know who you are. You project an image that says I’m happy with myself. You’re also less self conscious, much more assured and a damn sight more confident too. Here are

SASS: Define yourself…

THE world is full of labels but really when it comes to defining yourself, your opinion is the only one that matters. I was thinking of this last week, when my lovely blogger friend Jo from Dexterous Diva got in touch to ask if I would like to receive my very own personalised affirmation poster from her to which my reply was: “Hell yeah, that would be fabulous!” To create

FRIDAY FIVE: A few recommended reads…

IT’S Friday, so it can only mean one thing. It’s time for another Friday Five post! Unfortunately this week hasn’t quite gone to plan as I’ve spent most of it looking after a very poorly and tired little girl. Elsie has experienced her first proper cold so has needed many cuddles and lots of TLC. (Don’t colds just suck?!) So the post I’d been planning to do will just have
