Are you looking for Mr or Miss Right?

Pinks

Are you still looking for the one? Bored of being single and are ready to mingle??? It’s claimed nowadays that women tend to focus more on their career then settling down and having a family. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with being driven and motivated by your job but people are forgetting about what matters the most… family! If you’re in a job you love and you’re successful, fair game to you but I think you still need to think about your personal life and not just your job. I claim myself to be one of the lucky ones to have found my Mr Right a few years ago but I do have a few single friends that are desperately trying to find their Mr or Miss Right.…

I’ll Be There for You, Cause You’re There for Me Too!

Pinks

Yes, you guessed it… the title is from the Friends theme song. Today’s theme is friends but not the programme but before I talk about friends, can you believe it’s been over 10 years since the programme ended?! They say you can’t choose your family but you can choose your friends! I don’t have a huge amount of close friends but the ones I do have, are so special to me. Every one of them has their own uniqueness and I wouldn’t swap them for the World! We can go partying, shopping or just chilling and relaxing but I know they will be happy and comfortable. You really do know who your friends when it comes down to it. I keep in touch with old school friends but we’ve all…

The 90’s Dungarees Are Back!

Reds

The 90’s dungarees are back and trending. They’ve been around for a few months now and don’t seem to be going away any time soon! Come rain or shine you can wear your trending dungarees and feel good.

If you want to jazz it up a little, why not wear a statement necklace in case you want to feel more glam. For the cooler days, you can either choose to wear your long dungarees with some slouchy boots and a long sleeve jumper or sweater over the top or you could wear your short dungarees.

Make Sure You Have Gorgeous Paws For Summer!

Neutrals

We all want gorgeous paws. Especially now it’s Summer time and we’re out and about more showing off our bodies and nails! There’s nothing worse than seeing horrid nails on someone. First impressions count and even if you haven’t thought about it, people do check out your nails so be aware! The first things I check out is hair, nails and sometimes clothes… and to be honest I think everyone else does… even if they don’t admit it. Anyway, why would someone want to go around with awful nails? Sometimes we don’t have time to re-do them and I understand that. Everyone’s busy in their hectic schedules so fair enough. Not everyone has the time to pop to their local beautician. I tend to do my own nails; this saves…
