Whilst many people may be dreading more months of dull and dreary weather, there is one thing to look forward to once winter descends – the style.
Most people love nothing better than putting on a thick wool jumper, wearing their favourite parka and pair of biker boots. I know I do, but if you fancy something different, check out five of the top winter trends here.

The gift of time. Who wouldn’t like a few more hours in the day? We all could use that. Sometimes when we’re so busy, our health, wellbeing and self care can slip to the side just because of the effort that it can sometimes take to get small health issues sorted. You don’t want to bother anyone with your suspected ailment, the doctors are understandably very busy so you just avoid it until it goes away, right? So, what if you could check out this at home before you start to sit on hold and wait for an appointment?

After the year we’ve had I’m sure we’re all thinking differently about the future. Maybe we’re thinking about living with relatives that we wouldn’t before? Or even having older relatives move in when they’re ready to instead of moving into a care home if that’s possible for their situations. So, what are some clever additions that you can do to your home in the future to make it more accessible for family members over 60, or, even yourself in the future? Here are four ideas.

You know I am all about the luxury home vibes and planning crazy dream homes full of concrete floors and extensions. Let’s face it, I love houses, property, interiors, other people’s homes – the lot!
I will watch interiors programme after interiors programme and I won’t stop. Dream Home Makeover, anything George Clarke does even Selling Sunset and Million Dollar Beach House – I just want to see houses! I mean, even give me some old school Changing Rooms or 60 Minute Makeover. I’m there. I even started watching Instant Hotel because I couldn’t get enough of just residential homes, I had to start on the Airbnb market!

Before the second lockdown and after the first we were planning our honeymoon trip to Scotland and this post with Carparison came up and I thought it was the perfect time to share what our plans were and what we’d love to do in the future.
Where?
We wanted to spend a whole week travelling from where we are in Nottingham, up to the Lakes as a stop off on the way and straight to Ayr to see the beaches, have some amazing fish and chips and explore things there.
AD Gifted Product for my Gift Guide series.
We’ve already had the Under £10 Beauty & Grooming Stocking Fillers post and my Bumper Gift Guide packed with everything from pet-lover’s gifts to gin. I’m back with another gift idea for the hair-obsessed in your life. More specifically, the types in love with colouring their hair! I am definitely one of these people and this would be a great gift if the person you know loves to dye their hair vibrant colours or maintains a glossy dark mane.
Let’s be honest, whilst you’re busy buying gifts for everyone on your list this festive season, it’s always nice to also get something special for yourself. A little treat for being so good this year? Why not? Spoiling yourself for a year’s worth of hard work, getting through ups and downs, and just giving yourself something to enjoy can be the perfect way to end the year. Here are some ideas if you’re fancying a treat but you’re not sure where to start…

You guys know I love to dream about that George Clarke designed house with incredible architecture and breathtaking design. Today’s material of choice to dream about is concrete. Now, hear me out. Concrete is not an ugly material if the finish and design is done right and it can look so elegant and luxury. Here are three ideas to use concrete in a domestic setting for that Grand Designs-esque home.
A life size teddy is a massive stuffed toy (usually an animal like a bear or a dog, of course). Mine was a bear called Holly! It is often considered the perfect toy for children of any age especially young kids. Why are they great?
They’re entirely safe and meet the strict health and safety standards that are required, meaning you do not have to worry about your child accidentally getting hurt. Plush toys come in various different sizes, but the bigger the better and that is why a life size plush is especially great.
With 2021 just around the corner and we can start to put 2020 and a global pandemic behind us, it’s time to start planning to have some fun again. While the pandemic isn’t over yet, the good thing is we are learning to live with it and adapt to it. This way, we can continue to plan our lives around the rules and restrictions in place. It’s pretty clear that 2020 is finished and while Christmas may still go ahead it won’t be the typical Christmas we’re used to. To save disappointment, it’s better to accept that and start looking forward to 2021 and how you can make your birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and any other celebrations ones to remember and here are a few ways you can do that.
