When Money Supermarket asked me to get involved with their latest blogger challenge – Retail Royalty – I didn’t hesitate to accept. The concept was simple: I would be provided with £30 to gift in goods to a charity of my choice. As a bargain […]
The massive popularity of Superman: Man of Steel, the 2 hour sell out of Capital FM’s Summertime Ball, even tv shows such as the likes of Made in Chelsea would have you believe we live in a time of affluent wealth. True, many have seemed […]
Listening to classical and classical-crossover music is one of my favourite interests. When I’ve had a manic day and all I want to do is chill out and forget the world, the soothing sounds of an instrumental piece or the enchanting vocals of a […]
It’s not everyday you’re given the opportunity to step back in time and experience life as you never knew it. When I received a pair of tickets to attend the first ever Medieval Banquet held at Harewood House near Leeds, I was pretty excited at […]
The rigors of daily life can take it’s toll on our bodies especially when combined with stress and aches and pains of illness. Sometimes a hot bubbly bath doesn’t cut it and as much as I love my relaxing baths by music and candlelight, a […]
I’ve made it pretty obvious here about my love of rabbits so I thought I’d let you know about a hugely important date on the animal welfare calendar, which is Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW). So, calling all bunny owners, this is for you! RAW is […]

Eleven years ago, in 2002, Wonderbra decided to celebrate cleavage by giving it an official day of it’s own and so National Cleavage Day was born. I really like National Cleavage Day because, to me, it represents the mile stone of acknowledging I’m a woman and […]
Even though I’ve been blogging for two years this month, I’d never heard of the Liebster Blog Award before. It turns out it’s a casual blogger nominated award for blogs with no more than 200 readers (I’m guessing GFC followed). It’s a way of acknowledging […]
In one week’s time my 31st birthday will be upon me – yipee! A time for indulgence, treats and personal gratification. I like to milk my birthday for what it’s worth and I allow myself guilt-free requests such as magazines, pampering, new clothes and anything […]
With 2012 drawing to a close, I can’t help but think it’s been a really quick year. I turned 30 back in February, a milestone I’d long been dreading. Now with only a matter of days before we toast in 2013 I look back and […]
