5 Resolutions You SHOULD Make in January

So, back to work then. Truth is I’ve managed to start the new decade with the dreaded lurgy (otherwise known as a bit of a cold). Even so, despite the fact I don’t make resolutions, I’m finding it hard not to be filled with the urge to make changes and improvements to my life. I

This Year I Resolve….

I never make New Years resolutions. Starting the year with a long list of aims and targets with which to punish yourself after the excesses of Christmas always seems, well, just plain wrong.

Christmas Trees of the World (ish…)

So, it’s very cold and I’ve already eaten far too much chocolate. This means that it’s DEFINTELY Christmas time.

A Trip to the Beach

This weekend I abandoned my computer completely. I don’t think it missed me, it was probably glad of the rest. The next few weeks are shaping up to be busy as September appears to be the new August where Weddings are concerned and I get to watch 2 very close friends tie the knot. It’s

What Happens at a Burlesque Lesson?

This weekend I went to a friends Hen Party, which included a Burlesque Lesson in the afternoon. I have to say I absolutely loooved the Burlesque lesson, despite the outfit traumas it gave me! Burlesque lessons naturally come in many variations, from those aimed at established burlesque artists looking to improve their craft, to group

Top 5 Tips to have fun with no money

When you have no money, whatever the reason, it’s easy to resign yourself to a life of 10p Supermarket noodles, (economy) beans on (economy) toast and endless sit com repeats on TV. But it doesn’t need to be that way. Redundancy, lack of availability of credit, falling interest rates for savers and rising interest rates
