    Kitsch Culture – Nobody Does it Better Than Here*

    December 30, 2014 /

    When it comes to kitsch – nobody does it better than the British. Things pretty quickly get so far out they’re back in style. We get to love the things we used to deride and there’s a gradual dawning consciousness amongst the bulk of the population as to exactly why we suddenly “now” like something. Kitsch isn’t something that’s easy to define, though. It’s far easier to “feel” it. So let’s take a look at a few examples of life where you can see kitsch in action still today… The most kitsch seaside resort For example, millions of people make their way to Blackpool every year. This is the king…

    Lifestyle Content // Choosing the Right Colour Scheme for Your New Home*

    December 17, 2014 /

    Credit Once you’ve settled on the exterior design and layout of your new home, it’s time to get started on the really exciting tasks like choosing the colour scheme for your fixtures and fittings. While it is fun to get creative, it can also be a little daunting. Below are some tips to help make sure you love the colour scheme you choose now and for years to come.  Choose a Flexible Builder Some house and land packages have set colour combinations for you to choose from.

    Job Seeker Tips: Understanding Psychometric Testing*

    December 16, 2014 /

    There has been a shift in the recruitment and hiring industries over recent years. Now the attitude of candidates receives as much – or sometimes more – weighting as their aptitude to perform a certain role. In their quest to match people’s personality and work style to the right role and team at the right organisation, many recruiters and human resources departments like Chandler Macleod are now using a combination of psychometric testing applications, psychology based testing and interviews to assess and place candidates. Below you’ll find more information about some of the tests that you may come across while you’re searching for your next job. What Is Psychometric Testing?…

    #ChristmasJumperDay 2014

    December 12, 2014 /

    Today is Christmas Jumper Day! Last year Little Miss and I took part, so obviously when I saw matching sweaters in Asda that included a fair donation to Save The Children I knew what we would be wearing. If you are donning your festive sweater today, don’t forget to text JUMPER to 70050 to make your £2 donation. Save the Children is such a wonderful charity that helps children not just living in poverty around the world, but also here, right on our doorstep. I’m completely out of the swing of taking outfit posts. They’re just not top of my priority at the moment what with the bad weather meaning…

    Christmas Ideas for Stocking Fillers*

    December 11, 2014 /

    ALL LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE. This is my final gift guide for the year guys. I apologise for the fact it’s smaller than the rest but I’m going through some stuff with my family and I don’t really want to spend hours in the evening on my laptop (hence the lack of post yesterday). Today I have a few stocking ideas for girls and guys. In our house we never bought designated stocking presents, it was just whatever was small or edible. I seem to do the same with LM and of course I don’t have a stocking. I know a lot of people…

    Christmas Ideas for Men (Brothers, Dads, Male Friends etc)

    December 9, 2014 /

    ALL LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE. Every year I say (and write) this, but I find men so incredibly hard to buy for. Luckily I only have my dad, my sister’s boyfriend and my best friend’s boyfriend to buy for. Bee told me what to get her other half thankfully, because otherwise I would have had no idea! Thankfully my sister’s boyfriend and my dad are very into pop culture and geekery meaning I can generally find something that would do for them. Like with all my gift guides the gifts I have chosen are inspired by people I know but this one more so…
