STANDOUT.NET Men’s online clothing store
Living in a house with two boys, it is safe to say I am outnumbered. I am always buying for my Mr and for my toddler and somehow they both have more clothes than me! They are also way more fashionable than me and my toddler always looks so cool. I think this is because it’s way easier to look fashionable as a guy than a girl. They could whack on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with a nice pair of shoes and look good. Us girls have to make much more effort to look remotely fashionable and lets face it, some days we just want to whack…

Berganza.com Antique & Vintage Jewellery Store
I am a big jewellery fan and I am like a magpie when passing jewellery stores however don’t tend to actually wear much jewellery. I own some lovely items and have a great collection but never can be bothered to put any on. When it comes to rings however, I always have to be wearing at least one. I love rings and although I am not married to my partner yet I wear the ring he bought me when I had our son (a push present) every day and on the engagement ring finger. Let’s face it, children are a way bigger commitment than marriage, so wearing the ring on this…

Vax Dual Pro Advance Carpet Cleaner Review – AO.com
I am a regular reviewer for ao.com and I review the latest appliances/white goods from them. I was delighted to receive a new Vax carpet washer to review as I had been wanting one for a while. You can read my brief review below and watch the full review (and see it in action) in the vlog above! When I first took the product out of the box I was surprised to see just how much came with it. I thought to begin with that it looked really complicated but I soon realised that it was quite the opposite and very easy to set up and use. You could tell…

The Garage Spa VIP Open Evening
I was delighted when I was offered 2 tickets to a VIP event at The Garage Spa. I had never been before and had been dying to go after seeing photos and hearing so many good reviews. The Spa is a part of The Morritt Hotel in Barnard Castle and although the Hotel has been around for many years, the spa is rather new. The VIP event was to have a look around the spa and to also sample some of the treatments available. There was also canapes and lots of fizz floating about on the evening and there was the opportunity to purchase Germaine de Cappuccini skin care products…

My Dad’s Weird and Wonderful 50th Birthday
So you may have read the blog post on my mum’s 50th birthday which was earlier this year. Well not only was my mum turning 50 this year but my dad also joined the 50 club in June. Like my mum he turned 50 in style however in a completely different way. There wasn’t a big party or getting overly dressed up but it was still as crazy and as fun! His birthday was on Wednesday 15th but the celebrations started the weekend before. My mum had put a lot of effort in to plan everything and keeping it all a surprise was extremely difficult and there were many times I…
