Holiday clothes shopping for my 18 month old -Primark/Matalan
We have our first family holiday coming up in July since having our son. It will be his first holiday ever and I am far too excited. We are going to our family villa in Spain which is conveniently all baby proofed, with a good sized car (with air con), a buggy, car seat and stair gates all there ready. Holiday’s are expensive and it’s not just the cost of the holiday and money spent whilst away, it’s the preparation leading up to it. Main one being clothes, suntan creams and more, plus we now have another person to buy for. So with that in mind we decided to go…

Beara Beara – Santa Cruz Backpack Review
Whilst flicking through Twitter recently, a page really caught my eye. The page was called Beara Beara and I decided to check out their site. Beara Beara sell beautiful genuine leather bags in various different styles and are very new to the market. The business began when the owner was a travel writer in Bolivia. She came across a woman named Julia and her family making and selling quality leather bags from a tiny shop in the back streets of the city. They then began collaborating, turning the owner’s designs in to never seen before handbags. The full story behind how…

Oxfam Boutique – Durham
Oxfam Boutique – 18 Elvet Bridge, Durham, DH1 3AD I have always lived in County Durham up until a few years ago when I met my partner and moved to Newcatle with him for a few years.

So much has actually changed and I feel like I have had very little time since moving to have a good look around. So in saying that I decided to google the shops in the…

Style Heist clothing- Review
I was very excited to find that I had won a twitter competition for a fab clothing company called Style Heist. The prize was a £25 voucher to spend on their site and on their fashionable clothing. Although I do get to review some brilliant products, I am not usually one for winning competitions for things I really want! So of course this was a great surprise and definitely came in handy for ordering something new to wear for Valentine’s day. I am terrible at making decisions and it actually took me about 3 days just to choose what I wanted! My poor boyfriend was sick to death of…
