What Mistakes Do You Need To Avoid When You’re Making Your Home Worth More?

Although you might not think about it because you’re happy to just live in your home and enjoy it, the fact is that property is always an investment, and you’ll want it to be worth more when you’re done with it than it was when you bought it, and that’s true whether you want to pass it on to other family members, sell it, or just use the equity you’ve built up in it to make improvements, for example. 

There are dozens of things you can do to your home to make it worth more, but there are also lots of mistakes you can make that can actually devalue the property. With that in mind, here are some of the biggest mistakes to avoid so you can get the most value out of your home. 

3 Easy Ways To Look After Your Health

Everyone knows they need to look after their health, but few people actually put the time and effort into it. They often believe it’ll take a lot of time and effort, and some people don’t even know how to do it.

We all love to throw a party or have a great dinner party every once in a while. Some people choose to have small intimate affairs. Where the detail is in the food and the good company you keep. Others choose to host more people and turn the celebration into an event or party, where every need is catered for. Or you may be somewhere in the middle. However, no matter how big or small your event, birthday party, or dinner party is, we all tend to have to go through the same steps to get from the planning to the implementation stage. I wanted to share with you some of the things you could consider if you are about to embark on the planning of an event very soon. I hope this helps you put it all in top perspective and enables you to create the perfect event. 

New Bedroom Decor: Yellow, Grey and White

I mentioned in some of my previous posts, that I redecorated our master bedroom, but still had some work to do. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to change the colour of the walls or the flooring yet, but... if we decide to stay here for longer than 6 months, I will paint the wall light grey and get gorgeous white wood flooring. Anyway... Here is the bedroom after a little makeover. I will make sure to list everything I bought :)

Aromatherapy Associates Revive Candle Review

Candles are something I absolutely adore. I always have. I remember being told off for burning candles as a teenager, because my room was full of them. I secretly dreamed about marrying someone who shares my love for candles, but unfortunately... my husband isn't a fan, unless it is a simple vanilla, or cinnamon scent. Well... I will just enjoy my candles alone :) When I found out that Aromatherapy Associates are bringing back their candles, I  was very excited, especially about the Revive one. Their Revive range is my favourite. 

Bloom & Wild Flowers - Delivered Through Your Letterbox

I couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw this 60cm long box pop through my letterbox. Literally! I am not even kidding! I was kindly sent the flowers by Bloom & Wild, a brand new subscription service, offering fresh flower deliveries through your letterbox. Sounds crazy and amazing, doesn't it? 

Genetic Testing: Why It's Important

When it comes to your health, you should never turn down the opportunity for genetic testing. There are so many benefits here, whether the results are positive or negative for a gene mutation that you have asked your doctor to look for, test results give you a sense of relief from any uncertainty you may have been dealing with. 

And if you are living with family members who have experienced Alzheimer's, dementia or even Huntington's disease, then genetic testing can tell you a lot about yourself and your future. Negative results can eliminate the need for any unnecessary screenings or checkups, which is always a good thing, and a positive result can help you towards going down the road of prevention monitoring and any further treatment options. A cancer gene test can give you insight and help you to prepare for any future possibilities. Any gene testing is going to give you a window into your future. Let’s take a look at how genetic testing can be useful:

Marc Jacobs Honey EDP Review

I can't even describe how much I love the design of Marc Jacobs Honey EDP. It is beautiful, unique, fun and interesting. I also adore the colour combination, as it goes with my  new yellow, grey and white bedroom decor ;) I realise that some might find it tacky, but I am in love. What about the fragrance itself?

Home Decor: Why I love wood flooring...

I really love the look of wooden flooring and since we moved to a house with carpets in every room, I can't stop thinking about all the pros of having laminate. It is very easy to keep clean, more friendly for those with allergies and... it simply looks better in my opinion. 

Lash Boutique False Eyelashes Review

I love false lashes and I started wearing them regularly, after a long break. I tried the Rapid Lash Serum to make my natural lashes longer, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. Thankfully, the choice of falsies on the market is amazing and the good quality ones are very easy to apply and super comfortable. My latest discovery in the falsies department is a brand called Lash Boutique. I was kindly sent some of their lashes to try out and I am very impressed.

Sigma Creme De Couture Macaroon Inspired Palette Review, Swatches and Makeup Look

Sigma Creme De Couture Eye Shadow Palette* (£27.95) via www.beautychamber.co.uk

Let's be honest - most of us always stick to neutral colours and our everyday eye makeup consists of various brown/muted gold shades or a simple flick of black liner. Sigma Creme De Couture  Palette is the total opposite of what I usually go for, but I love to experiment with unusual colours and makeup looks, so I was happy to give it a go. 

Guest post: Why Autumn is the Perfect Time For a Spa Break

Now that the leaves are starting to fall and the shops are full of stylish coats and cosy jumpers, it is the ideal time to prepare for the cold winter months with some self-indulgent pampering. And what better way to do this than to head off for a spa weekend?
