Posted on 31st March 2014 by swanny

Posted on 17th February 2014 by swanny

If you’ve been hiding under a rock, recently come out of hibernation or just not got out much, the name Flappy Bird may not have passed your ears. It’s a simple retro arcade style game that has taken fingers by storm, seeing many of us glued to their phones guiding a pixelated bird through a…

Introducing Wonderful Wiglet Wednesdays

Posted on 17th February 2014 by swanny

Over the past year, I have come across some awesome small businesses. One of my favourites is the unusual but wonderful Geisha Wigs. I say unusual because people seem to have very negative views of wigs generally. Most people I spoke to about wigs seemed to think immediately of  80’s style mops of hair. This…

Gtech – The must have vacuum brand for everyone!

Posted on 9th February 2014 by swanny

It’s rare a product comes up that get’s me so excited, and even rarer that it’s a household product. As a wife and Mum to a 2 year old, household products are just a must have and not considered ‘sexy’ in any way. Okay, so you’re probably all laughing at me now. ‘A ‘sexy’ household…

Someone Special at Christmas

Posted on 1st January 2014 by swanny

This Christmas, I was given the opportunity to take part in the Halifax’s ‘Giving Extra to someone special’ campaign. I was provided with a £50 Amazon voucher and my task was to find someone deserving and get them a present. This wasn’t at all hard for me. I’ve been quite unwell for the past few…
