For a while at have been thinking about the top 3 splurges that are actually worth it. There’s something about spending money that’s absolutely true – splurging feels amazing. Whatever it is you’re spending money on a holiday, some tech, something for your home, or a wonderful treat, the act of paying for whatever it is can make you feel great, and in the end, it really can be worth it. Of course, it does depend on what you’re buying, and sometimes it’s easy to splurge on things you don’t actually need and, in the end, don’t really want. That’s why it’s wise to splurge on essentials because then you’re not going to feel guilty and you’ll know you made the right choice. With that in mind, keep reading to find out more. A Really Good Mattress If there’s one thing you definitely shouldn’t skimp on, it’s a good (great!) mattress. Think about it this way – you spend around one third of your life in bed, so in the end, a good mattress isn’t the luxury it might seem […]

Family movie night is one of those fun events that almost all families enjoy. If you have been seeking ways to make it even more special than it already is, there are some ways in which you can do this. Trying to make everything fun does not have to leave you scratching your head trying to figure out what to do next. Here are some of the major things you should take into consideration to make your next movie night as fun as possible. Select the right movie The first thing you’re going to need to do is to make sure that you are selecting the right movie. You need to choose a movie that is going to appeal to everyone in the family. This is easier said than done. A good idea is to let everybody put all their favorite movies into a box and then you can have a random draw on movie night. Of course, if one person’s movies keep coming up way too much you have to do the raffle again. You can do it in […]

So with Halloween only a week away, I thought that I’d be super organised and decide which 5 films I’ll be watching Halloween 2020. I am not one that goes in for gore and horror. I hate films that make me jump. So let me assure you that these will be family friendly. 1. Original Jumanji. There is something creepy about the 1994 film. Whether its because Peter’s transformation into a monkey is weird and he ends up looking more like a wolf. Or if it’s Van Pelt’s determination that the game shall not end. I’m not sure. But one thing is I am glad that I was not playing this game! 2. Hocus Pocus. What is Halloween without Witches? And these three are hell-bent on getting their revenge. But they have not quite anticipated how the world has changed in the last three hundred years and it leads to some hilarious results. 3. Casper. I love all the Casper films. So while I’m saying Casper I mean all okay. Probably Casper the Friendly Ghost is my favourite. But I […]

Today is my Birthday 🙂 So today I’m going to share five bookish things I will be getting up to for my Birthday. From food, drink and games, let me know if you have any more suggestions or if you will be trying anything out! 1. Have Cocktails, Literacy inspired. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I love a good cocktail. How about, One Flew Over the Cosmo’s Nest or Tequila Mockingbird or Are you There God? Its Margarita what ever your tipple I’ve got you covered with Tequila Mockingbird filled with some gorgeous cocktails to set you on track. 2. Read a Book I’m never far from a book and almost always have one one on the go. This year I’ve requesting some books I’ve been meaning to read for ages so hopefully I will wake up to that smell of new books. 3. Eat book themed cake! Whether you’re a cake fan or not everyone needs cake on their birthday. And there are so many that you can do. Whether is an open book, a character […]

Recently, I’ve noticed on my social media that a lot of people are being questioned over their review etiquette. Whether its for promoting their review, showing of a haul or even communicating with other bloggers. Some of the things that people have been told off for include, tagging a person in a five star review. Being tagged in a book haul. And even being told off for publishing a negative review (the person who the review was about was not tagged or anything). Yes, it is a balancing act. On the one hand you have to be honest and truthful, on the other you don’t want to cause offence. Although it seems more of the case the offence has been taken indirectly. So, I’ve decided to thrown my opinion into the ring and list my own review etiquette, let me know what you think! And if there is anything I can improve on. 1.  Only tag the person being reviewed in a positive review. This to me is only fair. You wouldn’t like waking up one morning to find that […]
