Business Content // The Start-Up Guide to Running a Small Food Business*
You know me, I’m all about pushing for people to do those things they love. Life is too short to have a job you hate, and although right now I’m not making a penny off the book I’m writing, I feel rewarded knowing I’m doing something I love. Today I have a start up guide to running a small food business. I’ll be honest, when I went through my cake baking phase, I did consider this. However it was short lived as I hate washing up, but I could have taken it to the next level for sure! Getting started in running a small food business, be it a kiosk,…

Fashion Content // Getting the Right Ring Size*
Have you ever bought a gorgeous ring only to get home and realise it doesn’t fit? Yep, that has happened to me an most frustratingly it usually happens on holiday where I can’t get back to exchange the ring for my correct size. Checking your ring size can be a little difficult and it’s always recommended you do visit a jeweller to be measured correctly.

Travelling First Class with Virgin East Coast
VIRGIN NO LONGER OWN EAST COAST, SO LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED. Many years ago before the trains cost an arm & a leg, and I lived in Lincoln for university. I used to have to take a 3 & a half hour journey home at least once every half term. I could get tickets up to a few days before for less than £20 return (and back then I found that expensive!) But the best part? For an extra £5-£10 I could travel first class, and I won’t lie; I loved it. When Virgin bought East Coast and train fares rocketed (that and the points system that you could exchange…

Samsonite Disney Ultimate 4 Wheel Spinner Case Review
If you’re an avid reader of Cocktails in Teacups, you’ll know I declared this year as the year of Disneyland Paris. As the months go on we do miss Florida terribly but we are making some fab memories on our trips to DLP. So far we’ve managed 3 this year thanks to our annual passes, with another 3 to go (and possibly one in January before our pass expires). Our favourite way to travel is via Eurostar which involves an almost 4 hour journey to London then almost 3 across however by taking the Eurostar we do arrive right into the gates of DLP which is a huge bonus. Flying…

According to the people behind CityMarble; CityMarble™ is a new and original way to design and customise your smartphone case. You can create your own patterns with maps (like Google Maps) and print…
