Top 7 essentials for your new-borns nursery

Expecting a baby is an incredibly exciting time in anyone life, however, it can also be very stressful and somewhat expensive.  One of the biggest expenses associated to a new born baby is the furnishing and decorating of the nursery, especially for first time parents who are not sure what is necessary and what is not, therefore tend to overspend.  Parents often go over the top when it comes to their children and companies take advantage of this by developing an extensive range of products parents can buy for their nursery.  Most of these products are not necessary and if you were to buy everything it would cost you a small fortune. 

Motorhome holiday memories

I so agree with Coco Chanel's mind-set according to which, the best things in life are free (with the second best thing being things very very expensive!). One of the greatest things about traveling with a motorhome is definitely the sense of freedom you get and the endless options for holidays that offer unique experiences. To me, exploring the world with a motorhome and living your days as you wish, with the company of your loved ones is simply unbeatable. You see a cute village? An interesting site? A breathtaking view? A bewildering sunrise? A romantic sunset? You just pull over and let yourself take everything in, till the last cell of your body feels the beauty your eyes see. Plus, you make so many friends along the way, some of which may be friends for life! You never know.

Shabby Chic Motorhome

Recently, I have been burdened by a hankering to go on a slightly different style of holiday. While jetting off to some exotic beach is still a great mental picture, 50% of the time something happens to ruin that dream. Busy beaches, tourists, weather. When sun is all you want, when it isn’t easy to enjoy it, the holiday is ruined. Equally annoying is being confined to one area, unable to “chase the sun” from town to town.

Home Décor Trend Predictions for 2015

Fashion is fickle. It wasn’t so long since wallpaper borders and contrasting prints were the height of fashion, and before that, who can forget the avocado green bathroom suites of the 1980s? At the beginning of a New Year we all like to look ahead and predict what might happen over the next 12 months, and although there are always some trends which come like a bolt out of the blue, it is much easier to predict general trends and colour schemes which are likely to increase in popularity in 2015.
