Five Gift Ideas For Women Of All Ages
https://www.pexels.com/photo/assorted-gift-boxes-on-red-surface-1666065/ Buying a present for someone special is far from easy. It is often difficult to find the perfect balance between finding a unique present that has the ‘wow’ factor and ensuring that it is something that the receiver will 100% like. Nobody wants to give a boring, unoriginal and uninspiring gift, such as, flowers or chocolates, if they are trying to make a lasting impression. But at the same time we do not want to buy something so ‘out-there’ and crazy that it makes the complete opposite impression of what we desired. In order to give you a helping hand when it comes to buying a present for a…

Dating with disabilities in the pandemic
2020 has hit us with so many challenges and has changed society for good. Although some of those issues are sad to say the least, some positives have emerged.

Dating with disabilities Dating for people with disabilities using online methods is an accepted way to meet…

How Family Can Make Hearing Easy Over The Holidays
Image: https://unsplash.com/photos/kwqJwtlb0KU While visiting family over the holidays is a fun way to catch up, but it can also be stressful for those with hearing loss. Asking people to repeat the punch line of a joke or the key moment of a story is uncomfortable for those with hearing loss. As a result, most people don’t ask, which makes them feel even more lonely and isolated. Hearing aids certainly reduce the impact of hearing loss, though there are still ways that family and friends can make hearing easier. Here are some tips to make the holidays enjoyable for everyone at the table and how you can support loved ones with…

Introducing BDSM in a new relationship
Sex is always nerve-wracking in a new relationship. You worry about your body and whether it is OK. Most of us have the odd hang-up about how we look. We all have our own tastes when it comes to the physical side of a relationship. One of the trickier subjects to navigate is that of BDSM. We fear being judged adversely but at some point you have to bite the bullet and talk. Avoid misunderstandings If your partner has not tried BDSM before they may have completely the wrong idea about what it actually entails. They may secretly fantasise about getting tied up or wearing a blindfold. However, they may…

Staying safe on dating sites for the disabled
The pandemic has really heightened feelings of loneliness and isolation for many of us. When you have a disability, it can be really daunting to put yourself out there in search of companionship, adventure or love. Disabled dating sites are attractive and can lead to great things from a hot date to wedding bells. You know that people on there will know you are disabled and may be disabled themselves. However, dating for people with disabilities is as prone as any other dating method to find users falling prey to scammers.

Wall Art For A New Home
I hope to move in 2021 so will be looking for wall art for a new home if all goes according to plan. I think back to my childhood and cannot remember any art when I was little. I do remember my Auntie had a well-known retro print of a certain lady. Wall art came into my life when someone painted a picture of a watermill for my mum. That inspired my Dad who took up painting. He liked to depict boats and planes but also did a set of paintings of the four seasons. Student days When I became a student, I was thrilled to express my individual taste…

The history of T-shirts
There is one item of clothing that almost everyone will have in their drawers or wardrobe. I bought two in the charity shop yesterday. This type of top can be dressed up or down. It keeps us cool in the Summer and adds a useful layer in the colder months. I am talking about the humble T-shirt. I like slogan t-shirts and you might prefer the classic white. My daughter loves lots of T-shirts in pastel shades. My son prefers vibrant colours. T-shirts are a great way to express your individuality and sense of style. I wonder how much you know about the history of the T-shirt. The history of…

The importance of product packaging
The purpose of product packaging is obvious, right? When you’re buying a packaged item from the supermarket – maybe a dairy product such as cheese or milk, or even something for the bathroom, like hand sanitiser or bleach – you’ll want it to be packaged properly. Product packaging, then, is important for protecting and preserving an item and making it easier for you to carry around. Sturdy packaging, together with the seals and locks on bottles, packets, boxes and other forms of packaging, help to ensure the product inside remains in the best possible condition to use. So far, you might think, so obvious. And it’s probably true that the…
