Choosing to go cruising?
The adverts on are TV already: book your 2024 summer holiday now! Not that I mind watching images of sun-soaked beaches or glorious European castles, of course, and the change in weather has me dreaming of warmer climes and holidays, too. Increasingly, cruise holidays are becoming a popular choice and for an ever-widening cross-section of […]
Read MoreWhat colours can I wear this Christmas time?
Fed up with black? Particularly at this time of year there is usually a lot of black around. If black isn’t your best colour (which it isn’t for lots of us) you may be thinking that it will be difficult to look your best this Christmas – whether that’s a family get-together or a work […]
