The cold weather is here and I am not living for it! In fact, I think I can honestly say, I really hate the cold. And what I hate most about it is coming home to a cold house, yes, even with the central heating on. I am a creature of comfort and if I have to living in a country that spends 90% of the time without sun I want to feel warm and toasty in my home. Unfortunately, due to people buying into trends, you may find your new home or even current home feels quite cool as people have spent years trying to make smaller rooms feel…

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just feel like I really need an escape from reality, and this feeling seems to crop up more often in the middle of winter when everything is dull and grey. The funny thing is, I don’t always need to escape somewhere hot (although when I’m doing the freezing cold school run, I do often dream of white beaches and turquoise seas) sometimes I just need to go somewhere pretty, and there are few places prettier in the world than Paris in the winter. If this is you too, I have some news, the Voyage Prive website has some great Paris city breaks…

Designing a New Blog Logo with Font Bundles*
With the end of the year (and end of decade, oh my goodness) in sight i’m obviously starting to evaluate the year across all aspects of my life, including work. Does anyone else does this?

It can be tough trying to decide whether or not it’s a good time to sell your house, especially if you already know your current home isn’t one you plan to stay in forever. According to the National Association of Realtors, the average person lives around nine years in their home before putting it on the market.

5 Things to Do If You’re Visiting Edinburgh on a Budget*
As I’ve mentioned many times before, Edinburgh is one of my absolute favourite cities in the country, actually in the world and I’m so lucky that it’s my nearest city. It’s the one I go to when I need to go clothes shopping, or to the cinema. It’s popular for nights out, special weekends away and if you want to enjoy anything remotely historical or involving the arts. I also like because it’s not a huge city. You can explore it all as a tourist within a couple of days and feel like you’d seen enough to get a good taste. I was asked by Megabus to share some of…
