3 Ways to Refresh Your House This Spring*
As February inches towards it’s end Spring is finally in sight. I don’t know who else counts March as the first month of Spring, but I certainly do. The days are getting longer, it’s not dark at 5pm and it’s light when you get up for the school run. Unfortunately these brighter days make you notice things you feel are wrong with the house that you couldn’t see in the candle lit Winter months. If you’re feeling that your house is looking a bit dab post Winter, here are 3 ways to refresh the look of your home without breaking the bank or investing too much time in it; Change…

What We Did for Easter 2017
I can’t believe that’s Easter over with, the next time a term ends LM will have finished her first year at school! The Easter holidays seemed to last forever, probably because we managed to cram so much into two weeks, including LM having the dreaded chicken pox for 7 of those days (technically 9 as she had two days without spots). Now she’s been back a day the holidays feel like they never happened. Crazy huh? Of course I’m already looking forward to May half term as we have two days in London with a friend from Shanghai and we have two days in Disneyland Paris! It’s definitely all that…

Spring Favourites
You might remember back in January I shared my favourite products for Winter and in October I share my favourite Autumn products, well today I’m sharing my favourite Spring products. These are a mixture of products I have purchased this Spring or I’m using from my stash because their colours and scents make me think of Spring. For some reason the change of season makes me want to change up the sort of products I use, from the make up I wear to the style of my hair or even the smell of products I use. It’s nice to keep a note of what are my current favourites and I…

Outfit of the Day – Golden Afternoon
For some reason, today when I was taking my outfit of the day photos I had Golden Afternoon from Alice in Wonderland stuck in my head. I don’t know if it’s because the flowers on my dress made me think of the talking flowers in the movie, or because I was wearing my new Disney Couture Alice in Wonderland inspired necklace. But then again, I often feel like Alice, so maybe it just happened to be one of those days! Denim Jacket (last year), Primark Stella Floral Skater Dress* £12.99, UGGBUGG Disney Couture Drink Me Necklace, Trade on Depop White Socks £1.99, Primark Jelly Shoes £4, Primark Red Satchel…

Outfit of the Day – Spring Has NOT Sprung
Although pretty much everywhere else in the country is experience warmer temperatures and glorious sunshine, up here in the forgotten lands it has been very cold, very damp and very misty. Tragic. After buying a whole new Spring wardrobe last month (still no regrets) I’m having to come up with outfits that still use my beautiful new clothes, but are combined with my old faithfuls I’ve been wearing over the winter. Just because it doesn’t feel like Spring, doesn’t mean I don’t want to look like Spring! I guess the weather reflects the week i’m having. I’ve cried more this week than I have over the whole year so far.…

Planning a Fun Filled Spring with a Child *
It only seems like five minutes since I was talking about my plans for the Christmas break and here we are inching ever closer to Easter. I always look forward to the school holidays despite the fact my daughter is only two, more so because my mum and best friend get time off work. Due to money being tight at the moment i’m already trying to budget for some fun activities to do with Little Miss to make Easter time seem more special, as when children are young they’re yet to understand what they are actually celebrating and besides, as i’m not religious I see Easter more as a celebration…
