Old Home New: Renovating a Victorian Terrace For Modern Living

by Leave a Comment

Renovating a Victorian Terrace For Modern Living  – Victorian terraces are gorgeous, classic houses which as the name suggests were built during the Victorian era. Built from stone and local brick they’re sturdy and have stood the test of time with hundreds of thousands of them still standing in the UK. With their high ceilings and character features, they make wonderful family homes for those who love a property with a little character and interest. However, as you’d imagine, life has changed considerably since these houses were built. If you’ve purchased one which has the same original layout you might need to do some work to bring it in line with modern family living. Here are a few areas you might need to consider.

How Do Our Eating Habits Differ By Region?

by Leave a Comment

How Do Our Eating Habits Differ By Region – It will come to no surprise to anyone, but I love food. There’s nothing nicer than enjoying a really nice cooked meal, especially if you’re out with friends and enjoying a few drinks with it too! It seems that the rest of Britain agrees with me – with 66% of UK adults saying they’re passionate about food and that 53% of millennials admit to eating out at least once a week. In fact, food is one of our biggest spends, with an average of £44 per person being spent each week on restaurant bills.

Making A Splash in 2018

by Leave a Comment

With the brand new year fast approaching, I bet you’re bombarded
with emails about New Year Resolutions and changes you can make for the next 52
weeks. 
Firstly let me say that you do
not need to make any changes to your body if you do not want to, and you
certainly don’t need a brand new year as an excuse. If there is something you
want to change or do differently, you can do that anytime – not just the new
year!
Changing Your Habits
One of the biggest things that
people tell us for the new year is that we should change something about
ourselves to be better. This can be to eat less, move more or simply eat
differently – these can be quite strong messages and only something you should
listen to if you would like to!


Treat Yourself
The way I see it, you are
perfect just the way you are and you are not obligated to change your body or
do anything differently. However, if you do decide that there is something that
you want to change – treat yourself and approach it from a place of positive
rather than negative.
Want to move more? Treat
yourself to some plus size
swimwear and go swimming because you love it and not because some
resolution has made you feel like you are obligated to. Your body is something
that should be treated with love and nothing less.
Commit To Loving Yourself
I realise that sometimes loving
your body can feel like an upwards battle but I promise that you can get there.
If you do want to make a change this new year, why not make it to be kinder to
yourself? if you are struggling then get online and read lots of body positive
hashtags for inspiration – places such as #Effyourbeautystandards on Instagram
is a really good place to start!
The thing with body confidence
is that it can be a long journey, but it is worth it. Remember that small
steps can make a difference, so take something that you dislike and work on
improving this, and you will notice that you feel so much different. So for example,
if you feel self-conscious about your arms spend a little time each day with
these out – remove a cardigan while in the office or spend sometime in front
of the mirror admiring your arms and seeing how wonderful they are.
A big part of not liking ourselves is fear of the unknown. We don’t
often see fat bodies in the media so it can seem unusual so you need to get
yourself used to seeing bodies that look like yours.
This is where reading plus size size blogs can really help,
because you get to see a variety of bodies of various shapes and sizes, so it really
helps to bring home the fact that your body is not unusual, and even though it
is unique to you – it is brilliant!
Spend 2018 loving yourself!

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?

Real Solutions to Common Signs of Aging You Need to Know

Real Solutions to Common Signs of Aging You Need to Know 
 
Aging is unavoidable, which is why instead of trying to stop aging entirely, we need to instead learn to pick our battles. A person can look incredible at twenty and at sixty or beyond, but they must adopt the right lifestyle habits from the start. Natural solutions will always be your best option, as it will allow you to age gracefully. Not only can these changes help you live better, they can help you look better, which is why you need to know about these real solutions for signs of aging.  
 
Solutions for Hair Loss  
Hair loss is one of the more stressful signs of aging that both men and women alike can experience. Whereas men will experience this hair loss predominately on top of their head, women might experience hair thinning or even hair loss in their eyebrows. Regardless of what kind of hair loss you experience, the results are a drastically changed appearance. These changes are also unfortunately associated with aging, which is why someone experiencing hair loss at age thirty can look markedly older than something the same age who has a full head of hair.  
 
​Hair Transplant in the UK ​are becoming increasingly popular for their permanent and natural results.
 
A hair Transplant works ​by relocating your own hair using a non-invasive procedure. FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction, is more advanced than previous methods, meaning you won’t experience scarring like  previous methods. This can help you address early on-set hair loss naturally, helping you prolong your youth.
 
Solutions for Weight Gain  
Metabolisms slow as we age, and we typically end up in more sedentary lifestyles as we age. Long days at the office start taking their toll more than they used to, and we enjoy our time on the couch after a hard day. This causes weight gains even when your diet itself does not change. To address this weight gain, you need to be more active and to change your diet. These two lifestyle changes are non-negotiable. You cannot expect to live your best life after retirement and beyond if you do not live healthy starting now. 
 
Solutions for Signs of Aging on Skin  
Wrinkles are one of the most notable signs of aging out there, but thankfully good habits adopted early on can help you minimise them significantly. This means washing your face twice a day, moisturising, and, most importantly, wearing sunscreen whenever you go outside. UV light from the sun cases premature aging, which results in wrinkles, sun spots, and in the most extreme scenarios skin cancer. Even wearing sunscreen now can help you reduce the look of wrinkles, as you protect your skin during its renewal cycle. Drink plenty of water, and place emphasis on natural remedies for healthy, youthful skin.  
 
When it comes to signs of aging, trying to completely eradicate them will only look unnatural. The best way to address them is through natural methods and healthy habits, so that you can look your absolute best at any age.
