    10 Credit Score Myths that are Completely Wrong

    February 19, 2020 /

    There are so many rumours that circulate in relation to credit scores and reports. This guide will go through some of the most common credit score myths and explain why they’re totally false. Credit score myth one: Not borrowing money improves your credit score. Why it’s false: Not borrowing any money at all definitely won’t build up your credit score, it may even mean that you won’t have one at all. This is because your credit score is based off of your borrowing history, and lenders will look at this to determine your ‘risk factor’. If there’s no credit history to look at, it’s likely that most lenders will place…

    Returning to Work After a Car Accident

    February 16, 2020 /

    Some people want to return to work straight away after an accident, in order to try and get their life back on track. However, depending on your injuries, doctor’s recommendations and treatment, you might have to take more time off than you’d like. If you go back to work sooner than you should, then this could actually worsen your condition. It’s also important to make sure that if you have been injured due to a car accident, that you file a lawsuit particularly if the injury affects your life. There are plenty of lawyers out there (like this personal injury lawyer Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff) who can help you…

    Feel Fabulous With The Clothes You Wear

    Not everyone is going to feel fabulous in the clothes they’re wearing. In fact, we’d go as far as to say that if you’re reading this you’re reading it because you know you struggle to feel fabulous with the clothes that you’re wearing. Sometimes we just get to an age where our body begins to change once more, and we can’t help but feel like nothing suits us. Age plays more of a role than you realise. As you go through the years it’s far easier to fall out of love with your body. Clothes you once might like to wear, you might make you feel like you’re dressing younger…

But now, organic options are now everywhere at the supermarket, and you might even know a few people who choose to buy everything organic. If you’re looking to try these products out for yourself, it might be best to know what the term “organic” means and whether organic products are better than your usual staples. The standards governing the use of the term “organic” as it pertains to food products can vary from country to country.

    Making time for self-care when you have young children is not easy. I remember struggling to remember my needs when my now teenagers were little. I was so concerned about keeping them healthy and  safe that I lost myself a little in that process. This is normal but you can guard against it becoming too much if you look after yourself. Remember doing so is not selfish. You need to be on good form to be a good mum and to be there for those you love most.

    How to naturally calm your mind

    February 4, 2020 /

    Anxiety and stress are currently rife in the UK’s workforce. In 2019, 602,000 people suffered from new or long-standing stress, depression, or anxiety according to a Labour Force Survey.
