Dealing With The End of a Relationship

by Leave a Comment

Relationships are great, but unfortunately, they don’t always last. As someone who is single, I know how the end of a relationship pans out and it is rarely something enjoyable. Ultimately it is often someone saying they’re not feeling it anymore, out of the blue to someone who wasn’t expecting it. [Read more…]

Long Distance Relationships – Are They For You?

by Leave a Comment

Apart from a very brief fling at the start of the year, I have been single for quite a while – so me talking about relationships and making them work might seem a little ironic. However, I have done the long distance thing and in all honesty, I would again.


I am someone that likes my own space, so if I was to get in a relationship with someone local I know I might struggle if they wanted to spend all their time with me. I like the idea of someone living a distance away and having that excitement of when you are able to meet up and see each other once again.


One of the nicest things about online dating is that whether you’re looking for someone local or you’re not worried about where they live, you’ll be able to find a website that suits you and your needs. Simply search for dating agency Isle of Man, dating agency Lincolnshire or dating agency London and you’ll bring up a host of sites that match your needs.





Surviving The Distance


In my experience, surviving long distance relationships is all about communication. As you’re not seeing someone all the time it’s important that you talk a lot and keep in touch. These days we have Whatsapp and Facebook messenger so speaking to each other is easier than ever. Send each other selfies, photos of your day and video chat when you can – it really does make all the difference.


If you meet someone via a dating agency Manchester but live in London, you need to do what you can to make sue it works. It can be harder work to ensure that this is the case but if both parties are willing to make it work, it can be done.


So get signing up for a Bristol dating website, or one that suits your needs – have fun and hopefully meet some fantastic new people!

by Leave a Comment

New Jewellery Ideas –  I know there will be some people who read this headline and say that summer isn’t over yet surely, but unfortunately, we hold onto it any longer? Luckily, all it really means is a new season to cosy up to and get funky with some new accessories. We have to face the cold, hard fact that autumn and winter are on their way and what better way to do it! And with that of course, comes the Christmas period so now is the perfect time to start thinking about gift ideas, too.

Is Online Dating For Me?

by Leave a Comment

I remember when I was younger, not many people talked about online dating. It was always a bit taboo and you’d probably say someone was a friend of a friend and you met that way, rather than saying you met on the big bad World Wide Web.


These days things are a bit different and people aren’t so afraid that they met their significant other on a website for over 50s dating Merseyside or that they signed up to meet someone on an over 50s dating Leeds based website. This makes it much easier, because who wants to make up a lie about where they met someone and have to remember what story they made up.


I’m a fan of online dating and have met a real interesting mix of people – some good and some bad, but that is all part of lifes rich tapestry isn’t it? As for whether online dating is for you – that is something online you can decide!


I would say if you are someone who is in the over 50s dating Strathclyde (or other local areas) category then you having nothing to lose. The best piece of advice I can give you is to go into everything with an open mind and your eyes wide open. If something feels to go to be true, then the chances are – it is!


A local based dating website can be a good place to start, so don’t be afraid to look for something specific such as a Suffolk dating site. At least then you know anyone you’re interested in is going to be nearby, so meeting them isn’t a big effort – which makes life easier!


Whether you join an over 50s dating Cornwall based website or something else, your safety is the most important aspect. Keep your wits about you and don’t meet anyone who gives you a bad gut instinct- it’s usually right! Stay safe and meet in public places, tell people where you are going etc.


What online dating tips would you share?

Uncommon Goods: Online Shopping

by Leave a Comment

Can you believe we’re getting to that time of year again where we’re starting to think about how we’re going to spend the holidays and what gifts to buy people.

When it comes to gift bying, I don’t have much family to buy for and with friends we tend to do secret santa and other gift swaps. This means that I can spend time really getting the gifts I do buy right. I actually love buying presents for people and even if I am shopping on a budget, I want to make sure what I buy is something that they’re going to love.

The Uncommon Goods website is perfect for this, because they have so much choice! I love websites that mean I can buy most of what I want in one place, because then I don’t have to worry about tracking and waiting for lots of deliveries. This website definitely ticks all of the boxes for this.

Everything is set out in handy sections, so if you’re looking for gifts for him, baby shower presents or something else completely you have a really good idea of where to start; which makes present buying a much easier process!

I know it might seem a little early to start present shopping, but realistically the C-word is just around the corner, and will soon creep up on us! I would recommend starting to window shop for gifts for the men in your life, because then you can shortlist ideas – which means when it comes to actually buy, you’ll be ready to go (and far less stressed!)

Have you started to think about Christmas shopping yet?

Back To Basics: New Look Skater Dresses

by Leave a Comment

I am really lucky with my wardrobe, I have some amazing dresses and great choices when it comes to going out outfits. However, sometimes you don’t want dressy or pretty outfits – for work especially I like basic items. There are times that you just want to throw on something comfortable for the day and know that you’ll be well-dressed and feeling great all day.


Since New Look Inspire relaunched as New Look Curves I have been really impressed with the number of items they offer in a size 32, which seems to often match those offered in a size 24. I hadn’t yet gotten around to ordering anything from them until I saw these skater dresses.




I bought 5 of them in total, for £45 delivered. The ones pictured and two black ones. They all fit the same and feel great. I like the fact that they are plain but the different necklines give them a different look for each one.


I’ve worn each of these a couple of times now and I would really recommend them. They’re slightly elasticated under the bust which gives a shape I really enjoy wearing and they’re a generous size, with stretchy material – what more could you want?
