Cavities, gum disease, stained teeth and other more serious dental problems are all something that most of us want to avoid. But in order to avoid these issues, it’s vital to have a good oral hygiene routine in place. Taking good care of your teeth doesn’t only improve their appearance, it also helps to minimize your risk of issues such as gum disease, plaque, cavities, abscesses and even losing teeth.
It’s today, International Women’s Day 2016. I am sure there will be lots of campaigning going on today. As there should be of course, possibly some of it being about gender equality. As is right. I guess. I don’t actually want to be equal to men if I am honest. I like that Mr B holds doors open for me, that he lets me get into a
That pic up there is our patio. Was our patio. Last year I was picked to be one of Karcher‘s “Super Bloggers” (I think my name must have been included on the list in some kind of clerical error) and throughout the year we were the lucky recipients of five different cleaning machines. Everything from the hand held window vac to the beast that is the patio cleaner. Fast
In my defence I had been awake for 37 hours when I made this purchase. And in the three days prior to that point I had only had about 14 hours sleep. So when I saw the silver bag in the foodie shop at Duty Free in Amman airport I could be forgiven for thinking it was coffee, right? It even had a lady on the front of the packet
Taking time out to watch the birds I need to explain my un-authorised absences over the past few weeks first of all. For the past month I have been suffering from “cluster headaches”. A right royal pain in the arse head which are a bit like an ice cream brain freeze, eight or ten times a day and last about half an hour, well for me they are.
When asked by a group of bloggers at Britmums how you get into travel writing, Simon Calder, Travel Editor for the Independent replied: Start in your own back yard In our “back yard” is Fleet Pond. Just half a mile from our front door it is the largest freshwater lake in Hampshire, covering 52 acres. The total area of the nature reserve that it is in though is over
I seem to spend my morning school runs discussing driving safety tips with my youngest who does her theory test next week. How that is even possible when I am still only 27 I really don’t know. What I would like to scream is “You are never driving on your own in the winter. Or after 5pm. Or in fact in the summer” but I know that
The only banana cake recipe you will ever need Lots happened this week. One was that I bought a new bread maker. The other was that four bananas started to look past their best. A happy coincidence that I decided to do something about. Baking is my new happy thing to do. The results are still a bit iffy on some things but putting some ingredients in
That should be the tag line of my blog: “Keeping it real” not the, “I am not a sodding potato” line it currently is (due to the fact people think my avatar shows a potato and not the duck that it is). Over the past few months I have found more and more that everything in the social media world is stylised, beautiful, perfectly lit or just pretty. Don’t
I feel like I am on a mission to save the world at the moment. No sooner am I back from a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan with World Vision than I am knee deep in helping jump start the Team Honk bus for Sport Relief this year. And please don’t mention the other trip to west Africa with another charity that I have just turned down on health
. Well actually it isn’t really a resolution, it is more of a switch I guess. You see the new year is full of “New Year, New You” type slogans and messages in the media but i don’t want to resolve to make a new me. I quite like the current me. What I want to do is make a better me. I want to just make
As I look at the rain outside again, and see on the weather forecast that we might get snow at the weekend, I realise how lucky I am in to be at home. When the 700,000 Syrian refugees currently in Jordan are not. Through no fault of their own they are no longer not only not in their own home, but not in their own country. Thousands of them are
