Beating the January Blues with a Perfect Spa Day*
I really really struggle with January, not only is it a long depressing month where it’s really cold and money is tight but everyone is feeling flat after Christmas. I also struggle with anxiety at the start of the year which I blogged about as the next 12 months feel daunting. I know I shouldn’t hate January as much as I do because Little Miss has her birthday but still, it doesn’t stop how I feel both mentally and physically the other 30 days of the month! This year we got lucky and headed off to Disneyland Paris for 3 days, but now that I’m back I feel flatter than…

Superhero Shoes – Are Knee High Boots the Secret to Heroism?*
We all know of a world of superheroes, and their power comes in many forms. Both LM and I partial to a bit of power. I’m a sucker for Spider-Man and Iron Man, and of course Little Miss loves the animated kind both Big Hero 6 and The Incredibles and their array of feats that we see on the silver screen is always impressive. We sometimes over look just how hard their life is, running to and from crime scenes, protecting loved ones and fighting villains because we’re all so wrapped up in their heroic antics and flashy powers. But do we ever stop and think about what kind of…

Spoiling Your Pet At Christmas*
Whenever anyone asks I always say I have a family of three, myself, Little Miss and my furbaby Elsa. Elsa is as much part of my family as anyone and since having a cat I don’t know how long I survived without her. Because of this she gets throughly spoilt at Christmas. Why shouldn’t my baby be surrounded by gifts on the big day? Unlike with Little Miss who is able to pick what she’d like Santa, I try to buy Elsa more pratical gifts and of course treats that are going to last us over the next few months. Of course it’s so easy to completely spoil your pet…

Disney Parks Essentials – Our Favourite Small Shops*
Getting ready for any Disney holiday is stressful, be you visiting for a couple of days or a couple of weeks. It’s not cheap and you want to have the most magical time possible and part of that magic is in the preperation. As a parent, for me the prep is in the outfit planning and the little things that will really make Little Miss feel like she’s in the Disney bubble and I’ve found if you shop small rather than shopping while at a Disney Parks it doesn’t need to cost the earth. Over the last two years I’ve come across so many different shops through places like Etsy,…

Tips for Getting That Perfect Instagram Picture This Christmas*
Whenever I’m asked what my favourite app is my answer is ALWAYS Instagram. I’ve been on Instagram since I got my very first iPhone back in 2010. In the beginning Instagram just worked as social media to share photos, being a very visual person I love snapping, adding filters and posting mundane moments of my life. I was also going through my “self confidence” phase so I loved a selfie. It wasn’t important to take your photos from amazing angles and since everyone love the filters (and back then there was no other way to edit your photos) it wasn’t important to have amazing photography skills. After 3 years I…
