The Importance of Fonts in Email Newsletter Imagery
I am a huge advocate of email newsletters. It is a great way to keep in touch with your readers and customers and is proven to have much higher level of engagement than other means on contact e.g. through social media. For me, there are three elements that make up an impactful email newsletter: A catchy title that makes the reader want to find out more, therefore making them want to open the email Punchy text, in short paragraphs, with the most important content near the top Compelling images – people have short attention spans and striking imagery will keep them engaged I’d like to focus on #3, specifically the…

Working from Home with Kids Around: My Top Tips
Due to the lock down situation, many people are finding themselves in the situation where they are working from home with kids around. With no childcare options and an income to maintain, we have no choice. Let’s be real… It. Is. Awful. But it won’t last forever – thank God. Let me start by saying that you cannot physically be a perfect mum/dad AND a brilliant employee simultaneously, you need to take the pressure off yourself and allow ‘good enough’ to be your new aim. I am the mum to a 4 year old girl and a newly 3 year old boy. Ever since I left the world of accountancy…

Has lock down changed the dating scene forever?
We have now been in lock down for what seems like forever. In fact, when I try and picture what it’s like to be in a crowded bar or in the audience at a gig I can barely imagine it. It’s hard to believe that we were all doing those kinds of things all the time only a couple of months ago. Life perpetually at home has become normal. One aspect of life that has changed massively has been the online dating scene. For one, I’m sure every dating site has seen a massive upswing in new members as most of us find ourselves with more free time. Those who…

Keto Margarita Recipe: super simple, only 3 ingredients
I would describe myself as a frozen margarita fanatic. Before I book a Mexican restaurant, I always check their menu to make sure I can scratch my frozen margarita itch. On a hot sunny day, I always, without fail, crave an ice cold, super slushy, tart and tangy, frozen margarita. But – confession time – until recently I had never attempted to follow a frozen margarita recipe myself, let alone a keto margarita recipe. I tend to stick to wine and beer when I am drinking at home, never branching out into cocktail making. Whenever I looked up a frozen margarita recipe I was always put off because it seemed…

When Is It Okay To Borrow Money?
We might be amid a lockdown, but that doesn’t mean that opportunities to make money have disappeared entirely. In fact, with the economy shifting in a new direction, this is the perfect time for people with cash to start investing in new projects and ideas. Even as old companies fail, new businesses with pop up, and the country will continue to move forward. These opportunities bring up an important subject – that of borrowing.

Bloggers Together Giveaway – Win Supermarket Vouchers!
Many of us are facing huge food bills at this time of lock down – personally, my weekly food bill has gone up about 70%. I always get a shock at the checkout – it’s just so much money! It’s particular tough when you have young kids as I do, they just constantly need feeding. As much as I try to save money when I buy groceries, I feel like it’s much harder to do so – cheap own brands are often out of stock, leaving the only expensive brands left. What’s more, many supermarkets have now stopped doing deals such as BOGOF or 3 for 2. As so many…

Easy Bubble Mixture Recipe Without Glycerine
Hello, looks like you have found this post because you are looking for an easy bubble mixture recipe. My kids LOVE bubbles. We go through bubble mixture incredibly fast… especially when my two year old takes control of the bubble wand and inevitably tips out the mixture onto the ground within a few seconds. I have been getting a bit fed up of repeatedly buying new tubs of bubble mixture – not only is it expensive (like, hello, £7 for 2 litres?!) but all that plastic is so wasteful. So I thought I would try to make it myself. Unfortunately a lot of the recipes I have found call for…

Dreaming of a Post-Lockdown Jeep Adventure
I’m sure most of us are dreaming of the things we will do once we are allowed to go back to living a normal life. There are the simple things like meeting a friend for coffee, having play dates or simply a casual visit to the shops. Then there are the bigger dreams, personally I have enjoyed planning some global adventures that we hope to go on in the future. One of the things I would love to do is go on a Jeep adventure… I’ve always loved Jeeps, in fact I remember asking for one for my Barbies when I was little. Modern days Jeeps not only retain the…
