For a long time, my husband has been a water filter fanatic. He just loves them. I, on the other hand, have been a bit dubious regarding the actual effectiveness of water filters and have thought of them as merely a way to make tap water more expensive! As I have tried my best to give up sugar over the last year and a half (I was totally addicted to Pepsi Max and drank 2 litres a day!) when I…
I was recently faced with a bit of a foodie dilemma. I needed to find a London restaurant for brunch which would serve food which would satisfy both my omnivore sister and friend as well as my vegan self. There are lots of vegan places in London which serve up amazing food but finding one which did both was proving difficult until I came across the Natural Kitchen. With several locations around the city, Natural Kitchen is an all-day concept serving…
Even before we talk about ordering a new kitchen, it is important to understand the meaning of planning. It is true that you can also buy ready-made kitchens that come in standard sizes, but if you have the option to adapt the kitchen to your personal needs, this is of course preferable. In fact, the more accurately and professionally the kitchen is designed, the better and more convenient the result will be. Do not forget that usually, this kitchen is…
With AW18 trends firmly established on the high street and on social media, you may be looking at your winter clothes from last year and wondering if you need a revamp. But there’s no need to change up your whole wardrobe — those AW17 purchased can be tweaked to suit AW18 trends! AW18 trends for men Shearling was a hot trend for AW17, and we loved it so much that it’s back again for AW18. Giorgio Armani mixed up the…
When people think of trends, they usually think of fads that will come and go in a few months or even weeks. For example, fanny packs have seen a recent resurgence in the past year. Many people consider them to be practical and useful in daily life, but others might see them as an ugly trend that should disappear as soon as possible. While the use of a fanny pack has once again died down, it has paved the way…
Like most women, I have a range of bags in all sorts of shapes and sizes but I usually stick to my main dependable Radley handbag which I have had for a good few years now. It’s often tempting to add a few more to my collection but how do you know which bag is right for you? Here are some simple tips to help you choose. First things first, what will your bag’s purpose be? What will you be…
I have to admit that May is one of my favourite months because it has two bank holidays! Do you do anything special over the bank holidays? This month I have been invited to attend the Weald of Kent Country Craft Show and I am really looking forward to it. Having grown up in rural Kent I attended many country shows as a child with my parents and sister where we got to see all manner of animals and farm machinery along…
I rarely wear a lot of jewellery, the pieces that I do wear mean a lot to me and are usually on the minimal side of style so when I discovered Sederhana Jewellery I was inspired by the simplicity of design and the notion that by choosing jewellery from Sederhana means investing in the local people, creating jobs and investing into the Economy of the Island of Bali where the pieces are made. I was lucky enough to be able to put some…
When you live in the beautiful countryside there really is no excuse to not get out and explore it. Since becoming a dog-mummy I go out walking for between 45-60mins twice a day to keep my rambunctious labradors exercised and happy, usually with my mum and her two Labradors; we make quite a pack! I have to admit that I don’t really dress up much when I am exploring the countryside with my dogs. At the end of the walk…
