Being a parent is such a huge responsibility. As soon as your child arrives (if not even before that) you are constantly looking for ways to keep your child safe especially in the home. So many accidents can occur in the home but one of the main things to think about is gas safety. If you have gas appliances in the home, the best thing you can do is make your child aware of the dangers from a young age and get them involved in ensuring your home is safe. Flogas have asked me to share some ways you can encourage your child to recognise the dangers of gas and…

I’m really focusing on looking after my smile this summer. It’s getting warmer outside, my outfits are getting brighter, so I want a bright smile to match. Some whitening products on the market are not only expensive and potentially dangerous, but they give your teeth a strangely unnatural look. Everyone wants white teeth, but there is such a thing as too white. When you glow in the dark, you’ve gone too far. To start me off with a whiter, brighter smile I’d feel much more comfortable going to professionals, such as the chic and cosy practice at Ollie and Darsh. Then to keep your new smile white and bright, instead…

It can be a stressful and strangely emotional time, but it is one of those parts of life which need to happen. For most parents, their child going to university is the first time they experience the empty nest feeling. That’s why it is so important that parents learn how to cope with these kinds of situations. The truth is, it is not easy for anyone. If your child is due to head off to uni soon, and you are dreading it, you’re not alone. It’s perfectly natural, and it’s healthy to feel that way. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean that you should wallow in your feelings. At the end of…

I don’t know about you but I feel so much more inclined to eat healthy and fresh when the summer rolls around. My fridge is always stocked with fresh fruit and veg in the summer because it always look that bit more appealing. I really enjoy making up smoothies for breakfast, fresh fruit and greek yoghurt for a snack, salads for both lunch and dinner. This is all great news since I’m off to Florida again in October and really want to have lost a fair amount of weight before I go as we have the dining plan! However one thing I haven’t tried that I know will be benficial…

There are literally millions of people that went through teeth whitening so far and there is no sign that this trend will stop since the associated benefits are quite interesting. You end up with a better looking smile and when the procedure is done at a specialized cosmetic dentistry clinic, the results can last for a really long period of time. The problem is that we are not faced with a complete medical solution. There are cases in which teeth whitening will not bring in the results you are looking for. It is important that you understand as much as possible about this condition. This does include side effects. Teeth…

Money money money, it makes the world go around, right? In this day and age it’s so hard to find a job that you really enjoy and causes little stress but earns you enough money to support yourself or even a family. Tragic right? I’ve been self employed for the last year and a bit, working from home so I’m able to be a mother to my daughter first but I know that is probably close to coming to an end as she starts school in September. It’s been wonderful but the money is sporadic and as a single parent, it would be irresponsible not to go out and find…
