    Why it’s Important for Children to Take Breaks from Schoolwork*

    August 14, 2019 /

    The start of a new term is inching ever closer, in a way I’m both looking forward to it (school holidays are so expensive!) and dreading it because I’ll miss LM so much. I enjoy her company even though I feel the pressure daily to keep her entertained. When you live in a small town like I do, it’s hard to find something to do every single day for 6 weeks, and the rising cost of petrol and train fare make it harder to explorer further a field. But I know she needed this summer holiday. As she gets older, the school year gets harder and there is a lot…

    Helping Your Kids With Modern Foreign Languages*

    August 8, 2019 /

    Although it’s the summer holidays, I’m always looking for ways to broaden my daughter’s horizons when it comes to learning. I’m working hard to limit the screen time and trying to encourage her to do something educational every day, even if it’s only for a short period of time. She has reading, work books or she can write but since coming back from Disneyland Paris, and now being 100% sure she wants to work at “Little Disney” she’s expressed and interest in French. If you’re able to give your child a leg up in education but sending them to a school like Bassett House School then you should do so…

    Lingerie Trends Throughout the Decades*

    August 6, 2019 /

    Lets face it, there isn’t much better than buying yourself some truly gorgeous underwear. It can make you feel empowered, even if you’re the only person who sees it. I truly feel good about myself when I strutting around in a matching set, the kind that is slightly uncomfortable but you just know you look good in it. Sometimes if I’m having a bad mental health period, it’s the little things like matching underwear that keeps me going. Lingerie started out as something to preserve the modesty for a woman, to something specifically chosen to look good in while undressing (or sometimes to help you look your best in clothing,…

    Whitening after Orthodontic Treatment

    August 6, 2019 /

    When people finish their orthodontic treatment, they usually breathe a big sigh of relief. The waiting is over, and it’s finally time to enjoy the brand new smile. It feels great to have smooth, even teeth and eating is no longer a potential problem area. Some patients find that during the time they have braces, it is difficult to clean every single part of the teeth – this can cause them to become a little stained or less white than the rest of the teeth. People who have made the commitment to get this kind of cosmetic dentistry are often keen to get a whitening treatment to complete the work…

    What are Clear Braces?*

    August 6, 2019 /

    As the name would have you to believe, clear braces are invisible to the naked eye and so they can be confidently worn by teenagers and adults alike in order to correct their misaligned bite or crooked teeth. There are two different styles of these braces and that is to have them either fixed or removable. A discussion with a dentist will allow a patient to understand what style of treatment is best suited for their needs. It is generally understood that all braces of this nature are for issues of misalignment such as a crossbite, underbite or overbite of a mild to moderate severity. Teeth that are in need…

    August 6, 2019 /

    It can be almost impossible to maintain a happy smile if your teeth are missing due to a sports injury, tooth decay or an accident.  Many people who are unfortunate enough to have a gap in their teeth, simply do not know of all the marvellous modern-day options which are available to them.
