Before Summer school holidays start we need to sort out back to school shopping including uniform and other essentials. For me personally a new chapter is about to begin as my son goes to secondary school from September. At this stage children want to be part of the back to school shopping as they want to choose their own backpacks and other items to look cool. Here are my key picks for Back to…
Whether you are heading to the beach or to the mountain, or you are staying in London with the kids, you will need these Summer essentials. My list have includes flip flops and travel pouches, a strong (and stable) backpack for children (and/or parents) and a sleeping bag for my very first festival experience. Take a look for hopefully some inspiration.
Flip-flops and…
This Summer I will travel lightly and only take my new Kodak Pixpro FZ201 Friendly Zoom compact camera (only 109×69×38mm) ditching my Canon SLR camera. I love to take good pictures, in fact I always aim to take excellent photography, but after trying this little camera during a city break in Lisbon I have made up my mind. For me the crucial feature is the quality of the images and videos as…
During British Science week little scientist Diego was very busy learning new chemistry principles using a nail science kit, that has been brought out by the makers of Project Mc2 dolls aimed at girls.

Product of the Year Awards 2017 have been the best to date for many reasons: the products were more family-focused than ever and I loved that, the entertainment exceptional with Rory Bremner clearly capitalising on the worst politicians the world has ever seen – his Trump impersonation was epic – the voice of Saara Alto (runner up at X-Factor 2016), a great dinner at the elegant…
It’s so easy to buy presents for women. We love stuff that can be found on the High Street and appreciate even the least expensive token of affection if the gift has a sentimental meaning or a message attached. We even love the worst home made pressies for the same reason. On the other hand I find it difficult to shop for gifts for the men in my life. Somehow they seem either gift-adverse or…
There are so many new amazing value-for-money fragrances and perfumes for ladies on the market this year. We don’t need to break the bank to buy a little something to our partner, mums or girlfriends on Valentines’ day. It was tough but I have managed to pick my favourite beauty gifts for Valentine.
Nowadays it seems a normal practice for Hollywood stars and starlets to bring a…
Thinking of getting more Gadgets for Christmas? There’s an image going viral through the social media of a teens’ backpack from the 1980s compared to today that caught my attention. It visualises a piece of research that looks at how youngsters now spend their pocket money these days on ‘must have’ tech items. The study reveals that pre-teens get almost 77% more in pocket-money…
Rogue One, a new Star Wars story has just been released so I am sharing here all Star Wars related articles that I have written in the past, the best books on the subject including my favourite Star Wars Christmas Gifting ideas.
