Choosing the right venue for your wedding is something you shouldn't rush. The last thing you want is to have post-wedding regret or be worried the venue can’t accommodate your needs in the run-up to the big day. And while the nuptials and what they represent should be the day's main focus, there is nothing wrong with wanting to start your married life in a perfect venue that can offer you the day of your dreams.

New from Daniel Wellington

Nescafe Dolce Gusto Movenza review.

I love coffee and I have a Nespresso Citiz coffee machine in the kitchen , but I've always liked the idea of having a little coffee setup in the bedroom upstairs, so I was delighted to get the new Dolce Gusto Movenza*(£179.99) to make our mornings a little bit nicer.

Ready for the picnic season!

I love picnics, I really do. My husband is probably sick of me dragging him to parks with blankets and cool bags... Ooops. I am not even sorry, haha. Even Zachary (who turns 6 soon) is all about that picnic vibe and whenever it's sunny, he asks if we're going to have a picnic. He's definitely my child. We had our first picnic of 2017 at Loch Lomond in March, when the weather was absolutely beautiful and a few in the garden in April, including the one in the photos.

How To Prioritise Your Relationship After Having Kids

Having kids can be significant for many couples, as having a mini human to nurture is an amazing experience. Moreover, it's a great opportunity to learn new skills to cater to their little ones. Despite these, it's not uncommon for parents to lose sight of their partners when kids enter the picture. Things can change between you and your partner as more responsibilities roll in. That said, you may spend less time together than in the earlier phases of your relationship. Fortunately, you can still prioritise your relationship with the right strategies after having kids.

HoMedics Salon Duo IPL (AD) #SmoothForSummer

We are travelling for a few weeks in July, so I would love to be able not to worry about hair removal, especially on my legs. I will be updating you on my journey/progress in 5 weeks time and then in 10 weeks as well with my final thoughts. Exciting!

There is never a bad time for a hair reset. If you don’t already have a great hair routine that looks after your hair from root to tip - then there is no better time than now to get it done. Once you have done a hair reset, you can make sure that you stick to that much-needed routine. 

Liz Earle Superskin Overnight Mask Review

Switching off at night and digital detox. (AD)

I am  sooo guilty of being a social media addict. Obviously, it's a huge part of what I do, so I have an excuse, but I have been trying my best to stay away from it all as much as possible. Too much screen time isn't good and it has many downsides which affect the quality of our life, but most importantly - the quality of our sleep.

Your Guide To Successful Laser Hair Removal

With more and more people opting towards hair removal options, laser treatments are becoming a popular and convenient option for everyone including males. Laser treatments are easier, less messy, and completely pain-free. They are the best and most useful alternative to other procedures for hair removal either be it extremely painful waxing or not-so-effective shaving. The treatment is effective and long-lasting, unlike every other alternative which might produce short-term results.

I was planning to share this makeup look during the festive period, but I was completely out of the full blogging thing and haven't even logged into my dashboard. I think it's a nice look for New Year's Eve though, so I decided to share it anyway. I created it with some gorgeous bareMinerals products I've been using for the past few weeks.
