For now I’ll just enjoy my latest addition to my ever growing cat themed clothing collection. Is being the wrong side of 30 a bit old for this kind of novelty print? Not a chance…not in my book anyway…the more cats the better for this lady.

5 Fun Ways To Create Wild and Wonderful Wedding Day Memories*
There is nothing more amazing than listening to stunning singers during the ceremony, at the wedding breakfast and at the evening reception. You could hire a gospel choir or a quirky band that will really leave their mark on your big day. Instead of opting for something that has been done a million times before you could truly make your special day completely unique. Not only will this create wonderful memories for you, but it will also ensure your guests have the most amazing time.
2. A Photo Booth
One of the best ways to collect unbeatable memories is to hire a photobooth for your evening reception. As soon as your guests have had a few drinks they will want to leave you a special picture to commemorate such a fabulous evening.
3. A Quirky Guest Book
Instead of your traditional guest book, why not opt for something a little unique for your big day? You can purchase jigsaws, where each guest write their own personal message for the bride and groom. Or you could invest in a small tree where guests can hang their message to you. Not only does this serve as an amazing decorative item, but it also gives you a different guest book option.
4. Vibrant Video
A wedding video will ensure you never miss any special moment of your big day. From the moment you walk down the aisle, to the funny best man’s speech, there are so many wonderful things it will capture. Look for a videographer that fits within your price range and you will be able to collect some wild and wonderful memories to last a lifetime.
5. Fabulous Photography
When it comes to choosing your perfect photographer, you need to make sure you’re truly on the same page. When you share a vision with the person on the other side of the lense, your photos are bound to come to life right away. Make sure you outline every shot you want to achieve from the big day so that you aren’t left disappointed when you get your prints back.
You have always been a huge fan of making memories, especially when it comes to planning your special day. You want to ensure that everybody on your guest list has the best time ever, without forgetting a single moment. There are many ways in which you can achieve this so consider all of the ideas above and you will have the picture perfect wedding bursting with memories.

Hit Refresh
Last weekend, determined to pull me out of my January blues, Bob packed me off to the salon (he kinda owed me after telling me he’d never seen me with so many grey hairs) and I came home re-vitalised and ready to plough on through these last few kilos of weight restoration and turn my life in to something even more fulfilling than it already is.
Time is ticking and I know that if I want to start a family, if I want to live the rest of my life in a world where I don’t count every calorie or scrutinise every menu within an inch of it’s life I need to do this. And what’s shameful about wanting to be the best version of myself I can possibly be? What’s so wrong about wanting to have a healthy figure that has the energy and strength to start running again, or embrace the great outdoors and go on long hikes or bike rides with my boyfriend or my friends and family?

Review: Vape Mate Juices from E-Cigarette Direct
Juices c/o e-cigarette direct
The first flavour I tested was Mint Choc Chip which I knew from the off I probably wouldn’t enjoy much. Sadly I wasn’t wrong, whilst I loved the mint notes in these I am yet to find a chocolate flavoured juice I enjoy. That being said, it was more subtle than those I have tried and hated previously and as a result I have managed to use the bottle, it just wasn’t my favourite and I wouldn’t purchase it.
Next up came Lime Zinger which was every bit as punchy as it’s name would suggest. This was refreshing in a way I haven’t yet experienced from a juice and very pleasant, 100% would get this again.
Following on from this came Harvest Berry which I fully expected to dislike as I’m not a fan of berry flavours in general. I was so wrong though, this was probably my favourite of the four I tried. It combines strawberry, blueberry and raspberry as well as a “secret ingredient”, and whilst subtle it was pleasing and smooth. Again, I would get this again without a doubt.
Finally came the flavour I had highest hopes for; Glazed Doughnut. I’m a sweet juice devotee and I really thought this would be amazing- it wasn’t quite everything I hoped for but I enjoyed the sugary hit and baked good aftertaste, I just think I built it up a bit too much in my head.
Would I buy cheaper juices in the future? Yes, I absolutely would. I’m not sure I’d stoop to pound shop level but these are perfectly acceptable, the largest indicator of their price tag was that these are a 50:50 PG:VG ratio and usually I seek out 60:40, that certainly doesn’t make them unappealing though and I would be keen to try out more flavours from the range and will be popping some in to my next order (the strawberry and peppermint flavours are next on my list).
Does anyone else have experience of lower prices juices? I’d definitely like to check out more brands- I’ve saved so much money since quitting the cigarettes but further savings could be made.
