Packing Light For The Summer Holidays With Simply Be
In a few weeks we’ll be packing up and going to the coast for a week so lately, I’ve been slowly collecting stuff ready for everything to be packed. What’s hard though, as a mum to 3 children, is packing everything we need but having a limited amount of space to do so.

Going Floral This Summer
It’s no secret that I love colourful clothing. I mean, around 90% of my wardrobe is bright, or pastel, or a colour or some shade that’s not black or white. I actually have hardly any plain clothing as I adore colour too much. For summer though, my love of colour goes further as I opt for floral clothing. I adore floral designs, whether or big, or small patterns, I just love how they can make almost any outfit summery. Usually, I would pick out a few Maxi Dresses, some skater dresses and then a couple of nice blouses, all floral, and all bright, and then alternate them throughout the summer.…

Super Geek Heroes Review and Competition
My sons are partial to watching cartoons and so, when I told them that there was a new brood of characters on the way, they couldn’t wait to give the show a gander. The animated series I’m talking about is Super Geek Heroes. The Super Geek Heroes are a unique group of super-kids… with the tagline ‘having fun in turn with a mission to learn!’. Their seven friendly ‘super-powers’ are derived from the three prime and four specific development areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage. The development areas and resulting characters are: · Personal, Social and Emotional Development – Suzi Smiles · Understanding the World – Peter Planet…

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Collection
My light blonde hair is one of my favourite parts of me. It’s what I stood out for as a child, in a family full of brunettes, and I’d always have people saying how they’d love to have natural blonde hair like me. As I got older though, the colour dulled to a mucky blonde which I disliked. I love light blonde tones and so I started to colour my hair to ever so slightly lighten it . But as we all know, when colouring your hair, you come up with a heap of problems – brassiness, dry hair, yellowing – and so I thought it important to find a…
