Who doesn’t love a fresh, new pair of athletic shoes, especially when they look cool? But a word of caution: looking cool is often not enough and finding the perfect pair of shoes can depend on a great deal more than that. This can add a rather confusing layer to the search process in the quest for the perfect shoes, very bewildering very quickly! So how to navigate this process,
I didn’t know they were called “Joy Triggers” until I saw a blog post from Jess at Cupcakes and Cashmere about them that was linked from a newsletter landing in my inbox every morning. But you know what I am talking about, right? Those little moments that put a smile on your face, or a spring in your step, they’re insignificant really and could quite easily pass you by if you
I think it is safe to say that this year we are all going to be approaching Christmas differently, aren’t we? Where the number of people around our Christmas table is usually between 10 and 12 this year we are going to be a maximum of 6 and are painfully aware that many are facing the very real prospect of being alone, or separated from their loved ones.
