Netflix Stream Team – Staying In. It’s everything it’s cracked up to be.

As the nights draw in and the weather turns cold, we all naturally begin to hunker down and get that hibernation feeling. Staying in – it’s just not dull any more. Babysitters are expensive, a night out on top even more so. And staying in needn’t be dull! We have regular date nights, and rarely go further than the sofa. Close the curtains, put the youngest to bed and banish all older children up stairs; cook a nice...

The ASUS T100 Review – You might want to add one to your Christmas list.

*The ASUS T100 Review has been provided by the resident Teen Geek; this then is what your average knows-more-than-you 16yr old thinks of the ASUS T100. We thought his opinion would be more relevant if you’re looking for a Christmas Gift that’ll cause on “OH!” of excitement rather than an “oh.” of disappointment… The Asus Transformer book T100 is a pretty low costing,...

#DearSally What this Tall Girl wants to wear this Christmas…

It’s no secret how much I love Long Tall Sally. If you’re not overly endowed in the height  department, your paths may never have crossed. But for those of us who are north of 5’11 they’re a magical blessing of a shop. Clothes fit. And they’re pretty too! So when they asked if I’d like to take a look and pick out a few look books for Christmas outfits, it wasn’t exactly much of a chore to say...

Is it a bird? Is it a Plane, is it even a sleeping bag?…No, its a SLPY!

Oh my – this is something you’re going. to. LOVE. The SLPY, at first glance, is a sleeping bag; a sleeping bag with a few extra zips and flaps. But it is so much more. The SLPY is a wearable sleeping bag that looks great and keeps you warm. It comes in all kinds of crazy cool colours (Pink, Orange, White, Blue, Green and Black… I went for the brilliantly vibrant Orange). But what sets the SLPY apart from a normal...

Can’t get Fitter than a Fitbit Fitter!

The FitBit Flex is a slim, stylish device that is with you all the time. During the day, it tracks steps, distance, and calories burned. At night it tracks your sleep quality and wakes you silently in the morning. Overall a very clever piece of kit. The Flex consists of two separate parts – the sensor and the strap. It doesn’t include an LED display like its predecessor the FitBit “One” but that does allow it to be smaller, sleeker...

Gorgeous jacket for tall ladies – they never fit do they?

Mostly, I like being tall. I’m a teeny tiny bit off 6′, and I don’t really notice that 70% of the population have to tilt their heads back to look me in the eye. But one thing that’s a pain in the backside is clothes buying. Losing 3 stone this year has helped enormously, obviously, but there are just some things that I resigned myself to years ago that I simply can’t have. Fitted shirts, for example...
