Spring has Sprung with the #MoonpigCollection
Moonpig. I know what you’re thinking – they do cards, right? (and also, you’re welcome for the lovely ‘Moon-pig-dot-com’ tune now ambling around your brain) If i said I went along to the launch of Moonpig’s Spring Collection on Thursday, you’d be expecting me to show you this wouldn’t you: A genuinely lovely array of cards waiting for your personalisation, plus some mugs thrown in...

Following on from our recent Top 5 Fitness Tips from an (ex) Couch Potato, George at ASDA thought I might like to try out some of the sportswear in their amazing value range. So they sent me some. And I tried it on. And I loved it! Honestly, it’s properly great.

Beautiful Evening Lace Wrap Dress for Tall Women
Woot; bring on Burns Night! Thanks to Long Tall Sally, I’ll be shaking a country-dancing leg in style. The Lace Wrap Dress is properly stunning, and I feel amazing in it. This was just me having a quick try-on, I’ve not even any face or hair on yet, and I’m ready to party! I’m not one that’s usually keen on a figure-hugging silhouette – even in my new slimlined version I’d rather there was...
