And so the eternal “food balance” struggle continues, and it gets particularly tricky with the kids around Halloween time. On one hand, I am passionate about trying to maximize the nutritional content of all of my family’s food to optimise our health and wellbeing. But on the other hand, I never ever want my children to feel like they are deprived of anything, whether that be sweet treats, chips or pizzas. I am very against restrictive or exclusion diets, unless of course it is medically necessary, and I am very anti the current unhealthy obsession with so-called “clean eating”. What we eat certainly has absolutely nothing to do with watching our weight or changing the way our bodies look on the outside, and ALL to do with how our bodies work and feel on the inside.

With the Easter holidays on the horizon and lots of people going abroad to escape the arctic conditions we've been having this winter (not just in the UK but worldwide), we thought it would be useful to create a comprehensive hand luggage packing guide, especially for our customers.

The saying goes that the way to a man’s heart is through their stomach, and I literally have no idea how I won over my husband if this is the case. My husband trained at Leith’s food and wine and has a confidence in the kitchen that I envy from afar. And by afar, I mean from the sofa with a large glass of wine. And most importantly he finds it therapeutic. And it is this that truly boggles my mind. I come out in a cold sweat when I have to chop anything – only managing to not slice off a finger by remembering one vital lesson from Home Economics when I was 11, to make a bridge over the veg with your hand and cut inside.

Christmas is my favourite time of the year and this still remains. Whether visiting hospital, or spending our last with our mum by her bedside playing Ker Plunk, as long as I'm with my slightly dysfunctional family it somehow functions and makes sense. I love the mayhem, I love giving presents and watching them be opened (although since kids my buying skills have seriously deteriorated - just ask my brother who received an extremely questionable cardigan last year!) I blame the lack of time to actually buy gifts in shops and making some online errors! I love the game playing and how competitive it gets, I love all the movies and the nostalgia with watching them, I love the food and the drink and the excess that is allowed over this period, I love the closeness surrounded by so many special loved ones and I've even learnt to embrace the sadness that lingers like the smoke from a blown out candle for those not with us in person to share the magic.

My Mummy always said that once Halloween and Guy Fawkes night were over then Christmas was well and truly on the agenda. Which means that today marks the day that we are all systems go for my most favourite time of the year by far. And nothing screams Christmas magic than the Christmas adverts that appear on our screens filling us with a spectrum of emotions.

Today marks the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and one of the ways we can all help support this important month is by spreading awareness and sharing personal stories. Breast Cancer tore my world apart in November 2004 when my Mum returned from a trip to France looking beautiful, glowing and full of life, only to sit me down with my younger sister to tell us she had found a lump and they had confirmed this was breast cancer.
