This is a bit of a depressing post today but one that I personally could have done with reading when I had to organise my Dad's funeral recently. I searched for 'how to organise a funeral' but all of the things that came up first were funeral directors selling their services which is all good but didn't help me at the time so I thought I'd share my experience.So, last month I had to arrange my Dad's funeral - something he'd tried to talk to me about in the past but stupidly I always said to him that we had plenty of time to talk about things like that so we never really discussed it … [Read more...]
Value vs Premium: Morrisons….
One of the easiest ways to save on your food shopping is to switch from premium brands to a shop's own brand so I thought I'd do a couple of posts comparing a few of the value products from the shops we all shop at. I hope to prove, with a few blind taste tests, that value products are as tasty as their more premium counterparts.Today, I'm going to look at Strawberry Jam and Lemon Curd and compare products in Morrisons new value range to some of the more premium brands they also sell. Value vs Premium - Lemon CurdMorrisons Savers Lemon Curd (28p per jar) VS Tiptree Lemon Curd … [Read more...]
How practicing mindfulness helps me to reduce stress….
Practicing mindfulness has helped me massively over the last year or so and today, I'm going to tell you how it can help you too!Over the year or so, I've tried quite hard to reduce stress from my life - mainly because there have been times recently when my stress levels have been so high that I genuinely could have crumbled. That sounds super dramatic I know but there's been so much going on in my life and I've had so much on my mind at times that I needed to find a way to help me to handle it all and practicing mindfulness has helped me with some of it.I used to think … [Read more...]
Let’s Test: Tesco flowers 14 day freshness guarantee….
Usually, when you buy supermarket flowers they come with a 5 or 7 day freshness guarantee which means exactly what it sounds like it does - that your flowers will stay looking fresh for at least that period of time.That freshness guarantee is something I look for when I buy any fresh flowers because, in my experience, even reduced price flowers last for at least as long as the length of time the label says the guarantee is for.I've only ever had a couple of experiences where the guarantee hasn't worked - one it kind of did work as the flowers didn't exactly die within the guarantee … [Read more...]
5 ways to boost your immune system!
If you're looking for ways to boost your immune system then this is definitely the post for you! We've been trying various different ways to boost ours after a start to the year that was filled with sickness bug after sickness bug.We had a terrible start to the year as far as illness is concerned - from the week before Christmas until the around the end of February, one or more of us was ill in the house. It seemed like we were just passing germs around between us with almost no break.I knew it was something that the doctor couldn't help with or prescribe anything for as it was … [Read more...]
Amazing Ferrero Rocher Cupcakes….
I have an amazing treat for you today - Ferrero Rocher cupcakes!I didn't set out to make Ferrero Rocher cupcakes but as I was making some chocolate cupcakes for Miss Frugal and her friends, I spied some Ferrero Rochers tucked away in the treat jar and thought I'd have a bit of an experiment. The sad thing is that, because I didn't know how they would work out, I only made two of these bad boys! I used the rest of the chocolate cake mix to make normal cupcakes but if I'd known how brilliantly these would turn out I would have definitely made more - lots more! How to make amazing … [Read more...]
