It was during a podcast recording that the creative director of a branding agency made an interesting observation, in that a key group of people to target with lifestyle or life-changing products are the ‘niners’. Those on the cusp of moving into a new decade. It’s something that’s frequently noted in popular culture – the … More For the Niners
The female body may be a mystery to many, but shouldn’t be to the woman who lives in it. From first flushes 20 years ago, to an eye-opening 12 months, I’ve been on my own path of discovery. … More Seeing Red
I know I am adding a small voice to a very large pond of chatter about the current situation we find ourselves in. But – despite the fact that my blogging is no longer as proficient as it used to be – it would be remiss of me to not type down my thoughts and … More In these uncertain times

We’ve also had a shed built and the front room is ready for repainting after a lot of wall destruction and replastering… But we never could keep things … More The Final Fortnight
There’s a huge amount of help out there for people with various mental health issues, especially anxiety. There are countless blogs, self-help books, TED talks, meditation apps. I’m not competing with them, and know my little article is just a drop in the ocean of the internet. To be honest, it’s as much to be a reminder to myself as it … More Advice from the Fog
It’s just 117 days until our wedding day. Just under 4 months. 17 weeks. That’s not too many. I think my last update was about The Dress Hunt… and I can update you to say that I have indeed picked the dress, and all going well will be picking it up next week. Simon’s bought … More 117 days
