My 10 Weeks In Lockdown

May 31, 2020

It has been 10 long weeks since lockdown in UK. Restrictions are starting to ease off from today but I can barely believed that we've endured months of social distancing now. It has been incredibly hard and traumatic at times, but I am most grateful that my nearest and dearest have managed to all avoid getting ill.

Happy Halloween 2019

November 06, 2019

This is the first year that Isaac is old enough to understand the concept of Halloween and it was the first time I took him trick or treating! Halloween was never a big deal for me as a kid but now that I have my own child, I can't love this holiday more and have so much fun making an occasion out of it. I blogged about his first halloween when he was a wee 3 months old and now he's 3!

I'd heard about these cute Trunki* ride-on suitcases for toddlers long before I had my own little one, and always thought they were such a clever idea so when I was offered one to review, I couldn't wait to test it out. We even picked one in a custom colour of our very own choice!

Get Organised for Moving Houses

Get Organised for Moving Houses
Whilst I'm not moving houses anytime soon, I have done it so many times in my life and the best thing you can do to minimise stress is to get organised with a timeline of tasks, as soon as you know you're going to be moving. I recently helped a friend out with said tedious task and as she was planning on moving countries, the first thing we did was to reduce and get rid of her belongings as much as possible. This absolutely works even if you are just moving down the road, offloading and moving 'light' is essential.

Watches Gift Guide

September 25, 2018


One present that never gets old to receive or to gift has got to be a watch.

As a teen, I loved spending my Summer holidays in Hong Kong wandering around the bustling markets. I picked up so many cutesy cartoon adorned watches and stop-watches on these market runs; Hello Kitty being firm a favourite and would always buy extra to give to friends as a souvenir. Once I went off to college and later on uni, I bought my first Fossil watch and also started to buy watches for friends and family birthday presents.

Smooth-House-Move
Moving houses can be one of the most stressful and all-consuming experiences in our lives. After uni, I moved houses 3 times and each time took a huge amount of effort.

How to Negotiate Buying A Used Car

August 01, 2018

Buying a new car is a big commitment, whether you buy brand new or second hand. It was the second biggest expenditure for us after our house, and once Isaac came along, I knew we really needed to upgrade our old 3-door Micra which just wasn't practical for getting a baby in and out of the back seat.

Pearly Whites with an Electric Toothbrush

Best Inexpensive Gift Ideas For Him

October 27, 2017

I can attest that buying a gift for G sends my stress levels shooting right up and I can barely keep up with all the occasions that calls for a present in the year. I’m sure G is not the only notoriously difficult person to buy gifts for, men just always seem to have everything they need or the stuff they want is eye-poppingly expensive.
