My 5 Favourite Apps*
The one piece of technology I’m always in fear of losing these days is my iPhone. I’m not onto an iPhone 7, having started at the 4 (prior to that I swore by Sony Eriksson and then a Blackberry). I remember when I phone was just a phone, for calling and texting. Then you could take photos with it and use it to store music, these days however it’s a mini computer. I use it to send and reply to emails, keep up to date with friends and secure work for myself. I’d be completely lost without it. For me what sets my iPhone apart from all other phones is…

UK Driving Laws and What You Need to Know*
I recently started taking driving lessons again, mainly because I’m desperate to get out of this small town and I feel if I could drive that would be beneficial. It’s been a while since I last tried, long before I even had LM so I’m a little rusty on everything from turning the car on, to the laws of the road. Of course to me a lot are just common sense but from reading some research put together by Van Monster, that doesn’t mean everyone feels the same way. It’s crazy just how many people break driving laws every day but thankfully there are people out there who work hard…

Business Content // Innovative Recycling Techniques*
At the rate the population is going we really need to start looking at more ways to be green and reduce our carbon foot print. A few days back I put together an article of three easy ways to get started on being Green and today I’m going to take that a little further by sharing some truly innovative recycling techniques. These aren’t exactly things you can do at home, but it’s definitely information you should be thinking about when you’re deciding whether or not you’re too lazy to separate your metals and glass. Hopefully attitudes towards recycling are starting to change across the world. Research has suggested that Europe…

Safety Content // Bicycle Safety: Evaluating the Safety of Our Roads*
It’s obvious to everyone that cyclists are diminishing on our roads as cars and public transport becomes more accessible and affordable. In 2014, Bicycles accounted for only 1% of the total number of vehicles used on our roads, which is a 13% decrease in cycle use since 1952 when the official figure stood at 14%. More often than not, this means that their safety is overlooked when it shouldn’t be at all. Together with True Solicitors, specialists in bicycle accident claims, we evaluate how safe our roads are when it comes to cycling. Cycling: the British Picture In a survey conducted in 2015 it was suggested that 1.5 million people…

Summer 2017 Festival Check List*
In the UK, summer time equals festival time and I’m super excited! Although my days of big festivals are on hold due to having Little Miss, we do try and visit every single festival our town has to offer, from the seaside festival to the food and beer festival, nothing says summer like walking around in the sun munching street food while LM goes on mediocre rides. However if you’re heading out to the big ones this year, Leeds & Reading, Glastonbury Festival or V, packing is essential, no matter what the forecast weather says. If you’re leaving things to the last minute I’ve put together an extensive festival checklist…

Going Solo: Making Life As A Single Parent Easier*
When you decide to have a child, it’s rare to envisage yourself bringing them up by yourself. In the UK alone, there are two million single parents, meaning that a quarter of families with kids under the age of 18 are solo parent families. Bringing up your children on your own may not be what you imagined parenthood would be like, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t give your kids the best start in life. Your relationship status doesn’t have to impact your children in a negative way – studies show that kids being raised in single-parent households are just as happy as children raised in two-parent families. The…
