On Sunday we returned to  Coral Island Blackpool for another fun packed family day.  You may remember we visited last year around this time and now with more games, attractions and rides we couldn’t wait to go back. Coral Island is Blackpool’s largest indoor free admission family attraction. With 4 different restaurants, indoor rides, arcade games, a casino, bingo and my personal favourite the Camel…

  Ivy Asia Last weekend I was lucky enough to escape from the family and take a shopping trip to Manchester. No shopping trip is complete without a posh lunch and you don’t get much posher than the Ivy. I had tried to book a table online a couple of weeks ago without any luck, but a quick call on the morning to see if…

Mum’s Favorite Accessory: A Wooden Watch by JORD Time is something us mum’s wish we had more of. More time to complete the endless pile of washing, spend more time with the kids, heck, just to sit down with a brew and spend some time relaxing would be great. Working for myself I must be very disciplined with my time. As the saying does ‘Time is…

From the second Charley was born I knew she was special. A beautiful baby girl who could light up the sky, just like a rainbow. We didn’t know it then but she had decided to pop out a little earlier than she should have done and when at 3 weeks old she stopped breathing & fell critically ill that rainbow came crashing down. What followed…

Contrary to belief us freelancers don’t sit at home tapping away on our laptops wearing our PJ’s. I spend a lot of my time in meetings or visiting clients so as much as I would love to roll out of bed, jump in the car and spend the day in H&M loungewear I need to look like I mean business.     You can never…

  When us ladies think about shaving, whether it’s our legs, underarms and or more intimate places, there’s not really much to think about – is there? Most of us have a simple, basic routine which we’ve probably done since we were about 13. A routine that sometimes involves, nicks, cuts and even irritated skin. But, that comes with the territory, right? Wrong! There are…

  We have just returned from spending Christmas at Center Parcs Whinfell Forest. The resort is just over an hours drive away from Blackpool on the edge of the stunning Lake District National Park. As first timer’s at Center Parcs I really wasn’t sure what to expect and as we had paid nearly 3 times the amount we normally pay for Haven  and i prayed Christmas Day wouldn’t…

We all like a bit of luxury in our life and with the post-Christmas Day sales now in full swing this is the perfect time to buy a designer staple. No one needs a wardrobe full of Balenciaga but investing in a key designer piece will make a Primark outfit look like Prada. A great example of this is my Gucci belt I was given for Christmas last year. The price…
