#ChristmasJumperDay 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…

Wall Create Canvas Review & Giveaway
One of my favourite things about having a house I’m fully in charge of is deciding what I’m going to put on the walls. I have to be honest and say that 99% of what’s on my walls is either photos, Disney or travel related, some are even all three. So I do love when I’m offered the chance to review something that I can put on my walls. A few weeks back Wall Create contacted me and offered me the chance to review a 40cm x 30cm canvas of a photo of my choosing. I was over joyed as at the moment I’m collecting canvases of photos I’ve taken…

Paul Mitchell “The Gift of Style” Event
Last night I was lucky enough to attend another Paul Mitchell event. I went to one back in May, and it was actually one of my favourite blogger events to date. So on hearing of another one, I jumped at the chance. Since my original event, I have been a Paul Mitchell convert and I swear by the Dry Wash for ensure I don’t need to wash my hair more than twice a week, it’s a godsend! Once again the event was held at one of Newcastle’s Gary Hedley Salons but unfortunately this time Gary couldn’t be there so I was thankful to have met him last time. However the…

The Wizard of Oz by U Star Novels Review
The Wizard of Oz Personalised Novel* £16.95, U Star Novels One of my favourite gifts to buy for my daughter are the kind she’ll appreciate when she’s over. For all her birthday’s and Christmases I always try to get one thing that I’ll put away for her to have more for pleasure from when she’s grown up. In the past this has included personalised Christmas decorations, a jewellery box, a bangle and a few other bits, but for her third birthday I have got her a personalised version of one of my favourite books as a child, The Wizard of Oz. I was offered the chance of a review copy…

Collective Haul – Hot Topic, Lush, BHS, Amazon & Cohorted
LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE I swear I’m trying to save for Florida.. but at the time of year where shopping becomes something you do a lot more of due to buying gifts for Christmas, it’s so hard not to spot things you REALLY want for yourself. I also think I have some form of kleptomania when it comes to Disney… Not stealing, more falling into my virtual basic during online shopping… Sometimes I manage to close the page before I purchase (like with Etsy, I have like £100 worth of stuff in my Etsy basket) but sometimes my best friend…

Recipe No.24 Pressure Cooker Tomato & Basil Risotto*
One of my favourite things about the colder weather, is eating so much comfort food! I’m not talking about roast dinners (although I won’t say no to one of those) for me it’s soup, casseroles and my favourite, risotto. My mother could never be bothered to make risotto when I was a kid, in fact I taught myself to make it while I was at university and since it has been a staple in the older months. Plus it’s something I can guarantee Little Miss will eat. Making risotto is a lot of work, a lot of patience and stirring goes along with it. But I have finally found the…
