Did you see the Odd One Out, Jesy Nelson documentary on TV recently? I have to admit I started to watch it, fully intending to watch it all as Jesy detailed being trolled online. I am ashamed to say that once Jesy started talking about trying to take her own life as a result of the online abuse in 2013 I couldn’t watch anymore. Listening to Jesy Nelson, a
Google “cheating on hairdresser” and you get over three quarters of a million results. Some telling you how to do it, some telling you it is the best thing they ever did, some saying they regretted it the second the stylist made the first cut and are now wearing a hat for eight weeks. My reason for cheating on my hairdresser recently was a little less complicated and was
“You’re fat because you eat too much” is a direct quote from an article Michael Buerk has published this week. He went on to say that essentially we should give fat people the facts and then let them die, thereby saving the NHS money. The NHS is buckling under the weight of obese people and that they are reason it’s in the current dire financial state. This type
Want some advice? Just do you If I had to write a top five of phrases to live by “just do you” would certainly be up there. And if I was ever to impart some unsolicited advice “just do you” would be it. I was reminded of this on Twitter yesterday when a chap I have never met but have chatted to online for years sent me this Tweet:
With the emergence of home cinemas and the access we have to so many films online now, it’s a wonder that cinemas still exist. However, there is still something magical about going to the cinema and nothing else quite compares…or does it? Here, we compare the two experiences to see if home cinemas really are the future… Media Quality If you use something like these Luxury Home Cinema Room Installers
ALKIMI is an innovative first in household cleaning. Have you heard about them? It is likely you haven’t but that is a shame because it’s a new cleaning sensation. I have been trying their products for a month or two now and although I was sent the products to try once they run out I will be buying and continuing to use them. ALKIMI use naturally derived ingredients to
We recently spent an afternoon at Taste of London as guests of our friends at The Firepod We hadn’t seen them for awhile so we were keen to find out all about what has been happening over the past couple of years with their pizza ovens. If you don’t know about them, do look them up. We have been huge fans of theirs for years (since they were on Kickstarter
I originally wrote this post as a back to school organising post because it went live in August but actually the tips I shared are useful for any time of the year, and particularly in Janaury. For years I have organised our family’s life with an A4, day to a page diary. I cannot begin to imagine how many hours of “what;s happening./ what do I need / where is
I have been increasingly thinking about turning off the outside world because my phone buzzed at 07.18 this morning. Not for the first time, and as before, not my alarm, I had turned that off at 5am when I had finally given up on sleep because my mind was whirring, but by a text. A text that had been sent with a query that needed to be dealt with fairly urgently.
Off the beaten path holiday destinations Exploring new places is something everyone should do in their lifetime. You can learn so much from visiting a new city, country, or continent, not just about the culture, history, or people of that place, but also about yourself. Travelling is rewarding in so many ways. You can gain so much life experience from opening yourself up to new adventures, new foods, new languages,
We are all busy and have busy lives. With family, work commitments, social life, and so on, it can leave very little time for other things. But there is something that you can do that can be a real benefit and add more value to your life, and that is through volunteering and looking for ways to help your local community. There are a lot of things that are
If you know anything about me you will know I love a back story which is why I love Cocochi Candles. With all the gins in my collection I know a bit about either the reason it came to being, or something about the distiller. Products only come to exist because somebody decided to make it happen. It doesn’t matter if that is a gin, a candle, a piece of
