    6 months after my marriage split

    January 18, 2021 /

    I want to reflect a little 6 months after I saw my husband for the last time. I didn’t want my marriage to end. Both of us had invested more than 20 years into our relationship. Even now there are times when I wish you could press a reset button and put ourselves back together again. Is there any point trying to work out who was right and who was wrong? The result is the same. Two people hurting  in their own individuals ways not to mention the impact on our three children. I have a new man which makes it look as if this is easy for me. That…

    5 Ways to Make Your Home More Fun

    January 12, 2021 /

    Given the amount of time, energy, and money we spend on our homes, it’s reasonable that we have high expectations. We should ask much more from them than just providing a place to sleep and store our belongings. They should be tranquil, restorative, and also fun. In this blog, we’ll focus on the latter. We shouldn’t always look to the outside world to provide enjoyment; our homes can also be spaces where we create fun moments with our friends, families, and ourselves. Let’s take a look at some of the best ways to do this. Pexels – CC0 Licence Don’t Let Tech Do All the Work There’s much to love…

    The Bad Habits That’ll Impact Your Health The Most

    January 12, 2021 /

    No-one’s perfect. We all have bad habits, things that we wish we could put behind us. The problem with many of these bad habits is that they only impact our lives marginally, not quite enough to really take seriously. A mild tendency towards procrastination is annoying, sure, but it’s not going to derail our lives too much. But then there are the other bad habits, the ones that can impact our lives. Take the ones that’ll impact your health, for example. Below, we’ll run through some of the habits you’ll want to put behind you, for the sake of your physical (and mental) wellbeing.

    In my final business woman interview of 2020, I share my interview with Louise Palmer-Masterton of Stem and Glory. Tell us a little about your childhood and teenager years I was born in Devon and lived an idyllic life there until I was 8 years old. My family then moved twice in quick succession, first to Cambridgeshire, then to Oxfordshire. The second move landed me to a primary school with an ambitious headmaster who spotted something in me. I sat the entrance exams for Christ’s Hospital, and got in. I then spent my years from 11-18 at a boarding school, which was an interesting experience. I left school very independent,…

There are so many different time periods from which you can choose these additions and there’s no need to stick purely to one either – you can successfully mix a multitude of eras and create a fantastic finish that is wholly unique to you. And you don’t have to break the bank either! The…
