Allergies are a right pain. I am very lucky that I don't suffer too badly with allergies, but the rest of my household are incredibly allergic (to seemingly everything) so I am well versed in how horrible the symptoms can be and how it can actually stop you from living a full life.

So let's take a look at how you can identify your allergies to help reduce your chances of experiencing symptoms.

Planning a wedding is stressful at the best of times... let alone during a pandemic.

Christmas is just around the corner and this year I have decided to do a round up of the little gifts which make perfect Christmas stocking fillers for kids! I love the stockings more than the big presents. They are super fun to open and you never know what you are going to get (although it is essential mine includes a chocolate orange). Everything is available to buy online so you don't need to worry about the crowds during this very unusual year.

If you are a fan of black comedy look no further. Shortlisted for The Women's Prize for Fiction, My Sister the Serial Killer by Uyinkan Braithwaite is a novel take on the thriller genre which will make you question how far you'd go to protect the ones you love. 

It is Father's Day this weekend and my Dad is super hard to buy for. But he loves wine. Enter the Wine List. Now, I admit not a massive wine fan but my Dad is. In fact he's a proper wine lover.

With the global pandemic in full swing and the majority of us on lockdown at home what better time to jump back into my TV and movie entertainment guide and share with you which shows are helping us get through lockdown...

My kids grew up watching Paw Patrol, Shimmer and Shine and Dora the Explorer (my eldest spent most of her younger years shouting 'Backpack! Backpack!') so it is safe to say Nickelodeon is a firm favourite in this household. How wonderful it would be if those shows could be brought to life... Enter Nickelodeon Adventure which has just opened at Lakeside, Thurrock. We were very lucky to be invited to celebrate at the launch event of this brand new play space along with our Paw Patrol obsessed nephew Little A.
