Practicing mindfulness has helped me massively over the last year or so and today, I'm going to tell you how it can help you too!Over the year or so, I've tried quite hard to reduce stress from my life - mainly because there have been times recently when my stress levels have been so high that I genuinely could have crumbled. That sounds super dramatic I know but there's been so much going on in my life and I've had so much on my mind at times that I needed to find a way to help me to handle it all and practicing mindfulness has helped me with some of it.I used to think … [Read more...]
Let’s Test: Tesco flowers 14 day freshness guarantee….
Usually, when you buy supermarket flowers they come with a 5 or 7 day freshness guarantee which means exactly what it sounds like it does - that your flowers will stay looking fresh for at least that period of time.That freshness guarantee is something I look for when I buy any fresh flowers because, in my experience, even reduced price flowers last for at least as long as the length of time the label says the guarantee is for.I've only ever had a couple of experiences where the guarantee hasn't worked - one it kind of did work as the flowers didn't exactly die within the guarantee … [Read more...]

Amazing Ferrero Rocher Cupcakes….
I have an amazing treat for you today - Ferrero Rocher cupcakes!I didn't set out to make Ferrero Rocher cupcakes but as I was making some chocolate cupcakes for Miss Frugal and her friends, I spied some Ferrero Rochers tucked away in the treat jar and thought I'd have a bit of an experiment.

I used the rest of the chocolate cake mix to make normal cupcakes but if I'd known how brilliantly these would turn out I would have definitely made more - lots more! How to make amazing … [Read more...]
A Perfect Weekend…. {Part 2}
So, earlier this week I told you about the start of my lovely weekend away last weekend and today, I'm going to tell you about the main event - the blogging retreat that was hosted by the amazing Tots100 team.I'm naturally quite shy and because of that, I generally avoid these types of events but after loving last year's UK Money Bloggers conference as much as I did, I decided that leaving my comfort zone every now and again was a good thing. Mr Frugal treated me to the weekend as part of my Christmas present and ever since I found out I was going I've been torn between excitement at … [Read more...]
