Freelancing is becoming more and more attractive compared to traditional work.
The latest Freelancing in America in Upwork found that the number of people who freelance full-time increased from 17 percent in 2014 to 28 percent in 2019. This means that people are starting to see that freelancing is a viable long-term career choice instead of just a way to make extra money. In a separate report…
Due to having access to social media, teens are maturing faster and seemingly at a much younger age than ever before and this is something that previous generations (even the millennials) did not experience. They now have a far greater insight into adult lives and experiences and they may feel like they’re missing out. It has become less acceptable among teens to be seen in a set of traditional…
When your website first went live, you probably thought “that’s it, job done!”. Well, unless you want to reap the benefits of having an online presence then you’re going to need to know how to optimise and maintain it.

Gameplay, and review by my eldest daughter.
I found the intro to the story excellent and easy to understand too, which is good for young children. The added subtitles are a greatt good touch. Subtitles and narratation is something that from what I’ve seen don’t get include that very often.
As for the controls, they were simple and well thought out. Many games you have to manually add the…
Dental implantsare an extremely advanced treatment that involves the replacement of the entire tooth. Often, a dental implant is the ultimate step in replacing a tooth, as it will succeed where other treatments may fail. Dental implants can be expensive, however due to their longevity, they are considered good value for money, as it is unlikely you will ever need a replacement for the implant…

It has been a wild ride the last few months. The girls are about to finish their first term of language school, before we move to Almere, (which is super close to Amsterdam).
We’ve been staying in Enschede, and the girls have attended a local school here. They’ve been made to feel so welcome and supported in their learning, it’s been amazing for them.
I’ve been driving since about a week or so…
When you’re in primary school, good friends are the ones who share their cool ruler with you. You might go round for dinner, to play and spend the weekend in the park. As you get older, and you change into who you might be one day, good friends change too. It might be the girl who has fantastic eyebrows or the one who dresses grunge, or the clown – you find some piece of common ground.

When it comes to gardening, not everyone is excellent at it – or has the time. It is one thing to enjoy relaxing in your garden sipping a crisp white wine in the summer evenings, but another entirely to put the work in to get it there.
I love small soft fruit trees, and there is nothing as lovely as when your kids can pick their own strawberries and blueberries directly from something they have…
If I’m honest, the summer has never been my thing. I don’t like the heat or the sun unless I can hear the sea too. Watching the kids play on the beach is pretty delightful though. Last summer we took a few spur of the moment trips, and they will be in my favourite moments forever.
Still, I think there are moments of loveliness in every season, even if you don’t love them all the time.
I love late…
Home is a sacred spot for all things family, friends and fun. You can express your personality in your interior design, and out loud. Make rules (or break them), test entrepreneurial ideas at your kitchen table, have secret chats with your other half, play hide and seek with your children, tell stories, dance, sing, share your home with pets, grow plants and infuse the house with cooking aromas,…
Getting your ducks in a row is a crucial part of moving home. You need to remember things like strategically packing your underwear to prevent spending your first morning rifling through boxes to find them. The same goes for coupling items together that are useless without their other half.

This is the ColorPop Villians Palette – Ursula Collection. But, look, if you don’t know this already sometimes on some orders from any USA brand, you will pay import taxes. Which means after you pay for your goods, and shipping from the USA, you might end up needing to pay import taxes this side too. It’s usually if your package is worth over a certain amount.
But, ever the…
Sometimes prices can be too low to be true. Like, a pair of cotton joggers for about £1.50. Then they wash like a bag of shit and fall apart, and I hate it.
Anyway, I picked up a few things for myself last summer from Pep&Co. And so far, they’ve all been great – washed plenty and worn a lot. So since Boy Baby has been born, I have been nipping in for a few bits and pieces since he grows at the…
Pampering means different things to different people. For me, it’s putting a conditioning hair mask on, a facemask and shaving the dry skin off my feet. (oh yeah, beauty ain’t always pretty).
But sometimes that shit seems to be expensive. £35 face masks, hair masks that cost the same as a whole months rent. I like my face, but I don’t know if I like it to that amount of money. Y’know?
There are a…
I have long been an avid fan of beauty boxes. Glossybox was my first, Birchbox has also been a staple. I had an email from GLAMGLOW with this little beauty, and honestly, I can’t believe it was only £28.(the price I think varies from where you buy, and there are plenty of vendors).

I have been obsessed with beauty oils for a little while now. I have combination skin, and as I’m that wee bit older, I have some fine lines and wrinkles. I don’t mind them, but I know that my skin needs some love sometimes. Oils and ampoules are something I love to use.
I have used a few that have felt a little sticky and ultimately ended up in the land of no return. In general, I have always…
Oh my god.
I have been toying with the idea of a Morphe eyeshadow palette for ages. Everyone seems to love them, and I wanted to know why. This one, the Morphe Boss Mood Artistry Palette is £23, and there are 35 shades – holy shit.
Here is their own photo, for colour comparison due to editing and lighting:

Even though most of what I talk about is related to the kids or home, those who know me know how much I love beauty and skincare. For some reason, I just never get around to writing about it, because I’m generally too busy with work or writing about products we’ve had for the kiddos. That and unless you have perfectly smooth skin, it’s not taken seriously.
I spend a fair amount on beauty and…
During my pregnancy with baby 4, I felt so horrible for so long I ended up having to throw most of my makeup away. That little pot on the packaging was letting me know it was time to hit the bin. I knew I wasn’t going to feel up to wearing it any time soon.
Some went to the girls to play with – which was a bit painful for an Urban Decay Moondust palette, but they had a lot of fun.
It left me with
