    Why I Start Christmas Shopping in July*

    August 4, 2017 /

    Yes, you read that right. I start Christmas shopping in July. Well they don’t have a whole “Christmas in July” thing for nothing! Jokes aside, yes weeks ago I started Christmas shopping. I received an Amazon voucher and aside from my sister’s belated birthday present I used it to buy things to put away for LM’s Christmas and I have absolutely no regrets. Christmas is expensive! And this year in November I want to book our flights to Florida and make a Christmas trip out to Disneyland Paris as a last hara with our Annual Passes before they expire. I used to start in September but these days with being…

    July 29, 2017 /

    No one really mentions how much moving around you end up doing when you’re a student. Whether you’re moving back with your parents for most of the summer, moving into new student accommodation, or you’re lucky enough to be going on a year abroad, you’re always surprised by how much stuff you’ve collected over the past year.

    Food Content // Is it Time to Return to Home Cooking?

    July 28, 2017 /

    How many times a week do you opt for a meal you haven’t cooked yourself? Be it take away or eating out. Over the last few years more and more people have been opting for take away over a home cooked meal and it isn’t all down to having more disposible income (lets face it, we don’t have any!) Research published by the John Hopkins School of Public Health has claimed that people who frequently cook meals at home eat healthier and consume fewer calories, but as a society we’re once again opting for ease over health. And I have to admit, I’m one of these Today five-star kitchen splashbacks…

    The chances are that it was less than an hour ago that your fourteen year old asked whether they could use their tablet to see what their friends were up to on the world of Instagram. It is becoming increasingly hard, in an age of technology, social media, and virtual reality, to say no. As a parent, you want to ensure that you children are receiving the best upbringing, with opportunities to become technologically savvy. But you are afraid of them becoming technologically reliant.
