The Gaming Laptop – ASUS RoG STRIX GL702 Review
The ASUS RoG STRIX GL702 Review is by Cameron, my 18yr old Head of Tech and Media (really, I have no business near this laptop, not knowing my League of Legends from my Battlefield Go; it seemed better I hand it over to Head Gamer). And this is what he thought… Readers warning; this will be a nerdy review. And I’m not even sorry. “Compact and Potent” is the leading selling point on the ASUS website, and frankly I’ve...
It’s that time of year – let’s talk Sunglasses
It’s that time of year, isn’t it? You’ve handed over your holiday deposit, booked the time off work and officially started counting down the days until you head off for some sunshine. And you know what that means – you’ve started looking for your summer essentials. Top of my list this year is some new sunglasses – something I keep putting off because it’s such a faff. I prefer to do all my...
Whooop! Pretty new notebooks for National Stationery Week #NatStatWeek
When you realise it’s National Stationery Week and your job now means you have to spend the Whole Week looking at new stationery… I decided to kick off the obsession with a stop by my favourite place for a quick happy burst of notebook shopping – Paperchase’s sale department. I know, go me. Oh, who can so no to that little sleepy owl face? And the bee, did you spot the bee?! The teal felt cover is created...
Sunday Picture Book – Imaginary Fred
We love books – obviously – and we often review latest releases. But I’ve been a parent for nearly twenty years, and I know that the older books sometimes get overlooked by new parents – and they’re missing out on a gem or two of bedtime reading. I think we all know the Very Hungry Caterpillar, of course, but I find newer parents may not know Albert Le Blanc, Little Tiger or Spot. There have been some beautiful picture books that we’d...
The lightest, thinnest, fastest (& prettiest) laptop – the ASUS ZenBook 3 Review
It’s a conversation I see a lot in my online social circles; “I’m looking for a new laptop. It needs to handle all my work, but also needs to be light to carry around. Any suggestions?”. Yes, yes I do. Just for you, here’s the ASUS ZenBook 3 Review. For bloggers and writers and photographers, it’s the same perennial issue (and yes, it’s no doubt the same for many others too) – we...
Luxury Brecon Beacons Cottage | Tyn y Coed Review
I closed the door of the woodburner and settled back down into the huge expanse of sofa, listening vaguely to the muffled murmurings of the teens in the hot tub outside. It was a damp and windy Welsh night out there, but happily ensconced in hot bubbles they didn’t seem to mind, and I certainly wasn’t complaining as I curled up with my book, glass of wine at my elbow. As always, the first day of the holiday had been a very...
