The sun has finally made an appearance. After such a long old-spell, it’s not unknown for us Brits to lose our minds a little bit. So here are a few words of warning for things to avoid this summer….

Happy Sunshine… I mean Thursday!

18 sleeps. 18 SLEEPS. EIGHTEEN SLEEPS. That’s all that separates me from the big man, Santa. Oh yeah, baby.

With so little shopping time left to go, boys, it’s time to start thinking of gifts for your loved ones. Yes by loved ones I mean family, your mates (unlikely I realise), but most importantly your partner. You see, your partner holds the power to make Christmas one of the most special or painful times of year.

So without further ado, let me give you some tips to keep you out of the doghouse this Christmas.

Probably worth also noting that you could buy the most amazing gift in the world, but if you rock up at 4am on Christmas morning having been out with the lads the night before, leaving you incapable of eating Christmas dinner… it’s going to be an uphill struggle.

I’d love to hear from you, so make me happy and leave me a comment.

Much Thursday love.

We all know that Movember supports a brilliant cause – it raises awareness and saves lives. Trust us, we girls appreciate it, especially if it helps the men in our lives.

Now that I’ve got that little disclaimer out of the way, some thoughts you may wish to consider when participating in Movember.

Congrats to all of those that took part… now, Saturday, add to your to-do list remove tache! Thanks! Roll on Fanuary….

Much Thursday love

For those of you in the States, Happy Thanks Giving!

Normal service resumes: With Black Friday and Christmas almost upon us, it’s fair to say, we are now firmly in the shopping season. Oxford Street will be closing to traffic this Saturday to allow pedestrians to pound the streets.

If you’re considering a trip with your boyfriend or husband though, you may wish to watch the following:

No need to thank me. Seriously.

Stay awesome.

The man’s a pro, you may not have seen him, but he has a whole YouTube channel dedicated to tips. The thing is, I wasn’t shown these before it happened to me. So a gift from me to you, the warning signs. I mean, it wouldn’t be clear otherwise.

In case that’s not enough, there’s evidence of him sharing his tips with others. Please take note.

… and yes, I too will now be doing shoutouts. Make your requests in the comments below.

Much love xox

Let me start by saying girls are awesome. Really awesome. They rock in pretty much every way.

However, there are some reasons that guys make awesome friends… I kinda love them like that. For some reasons why, just take a look at this week’s video.

Much love. Stay awesome.

Boys, you’ll know that I like to do my bit to help – in this week’s video, secrets that us girls keep amongst ourselves until now… You may not wish to click play if you’d rather think we smell of roses. I mean, we do, but only 80% of the time.

I’d love to hear your insights too, so don’t be shy, leave a comment and make my day.

Big love,

We all know that the communication between boys and girls is often complex territory. They say that men are from Venus and women from Mars, I personally think this may be too close.

Then of course, there’s the subject of white lies. In this week’s video, I uncover some “untruths” that us girls may have been guilty of telling our boys…

I’d love to hear yours too, so please use the comments.

Much love and Thursday hugs.

p.s. I’m being a spanner. The last part was meant to say the man with the sticker on his trousers. Poor thing was telling the world he has a 38 inch waist all the way down his trousers on a sticker. I should have said something. I feel bad.

OK, by now, you’re bound to have been subjected to my addiction to Pinterest. You’ll also be aware that I’m single. Therefore I guess, the following video will come as no surprise.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dudes and dudettes, I present to you the reasons that Pinterest is better than sex.

I know, I really need to get out some more, but pinning is so god damn good!

Stay awesome.

p.s. thank you so much for all of your support in raising funds for Saskia’s kitty. We’ve been totally overwhelmed!

You know how your girlfriend doesn’t wear any makeup and yet it takes her so long to get ready? She promises you she’ll just be another couple of minutes but she’s still in the bathroom after an hour?

Today I’m letting you into the biggest kept secret… welcome to the club. Just don’t tell anyone you heard it from me!

You’re very welcome. Of course, if you want to show your appreciation, flowers, wine, chocolate or Hob Nobs are always appreciated.

Much love and stay amazing.
