One of my favourite hobbies is doing a jigsaw puzzle. I always find it so satisfying and get a great sense of achievement! Of course, besides that, they are a great work out for the brain and can be beneficial for improving problem-solving, motor skills and eye coordination for all ages.
As many will know, Omega-3 is essential for your body to function, but unfortunately, most of us are not getting enough Omega-3 in our diet! If you don’t consume enough oily fish, including salmon, mackerel and sardines, nor nuts and seeds (another form of omega 3), you will find yourself at risk for heart disease and other kinds of illness.

The whole world is fighting against Covid-19 right now as the virus continues to pose a significant challenge to our health and well-being. So safeguarding our body’s own natural immunity has never been more important, hence we have been taking Sambucol to help us to build up our antioxidant levels to give us the extra protection!
If you have not taken Sambucol before, you might not know how it works? Sambucol Black Elderberry is rich in antioxidants known as anthocyanins. Based on black elderberries, they are known for their immune health benefits, and over 20 years ago, a leading virologist discovered that these berries also had significant anti-viral properties, and thus developed Sambucol.
Getting the right pair of shoes is one of the most important things to start any journey! Recently, I had to make an unexpected trip with my daughter, and luckily I have received this pair of Hotter Shoes – Gravity, just in time to start our long journey to Singapore!

Earlier this year, we bought an old property that required a lot of renovation. It was very daunting, especially when the surveyor came back with a number of things to be fixed. One such item on the report was that the windows needed maintenance. One of the bedroom windows was not able to open fully and there were a couple which were leaking air into the house!
I have not had any experience of choosing a window company before so I asked around online but no one was able to help. Nevertheless, I found Windows4You due to a Facebook competition I had entered during the Christmas period. I contracted them and within days, they came to measure up the windows. As part of the work, we also decided to change our front and back doors and the sliding door to a bifold door.
Our family have been huge fans of the Harry Potter movie series which are, of course, based on the bestselling series of novels by J.K. Rowling since it was first shown back in 2001. It is one of those magical movie experiences that continues to captivate us across eight films with a cast including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Alan Rickman and Ralph Fiennes.
To celebrate the release of the Mary Poppins Return movie, we have received this gorgeous Disney Mary Poppins Umbrella from Paladone to follow in the footsteps of the magical nanny herself and to transport us to our next mystical adventure!
Mary Poppins is a much-loved musical that first aired in 1964 and was produced by Walt Disney. This sequel is set decades since her original visit and she is returning to help the Banks siblings and Michael’s children through a difficult time in their lives.
It has been a long time since we last watched it but I will always remember how she arrived by umbrella to the Banks home, while the rest of the nanny interviewees got blown away!
Pokémon fans! Have you caught them all? Pokémon has been one of the most influential global phenomenon and one of the most successful video game franchises of all time! Both of my children love Pokémon so much that when we went on holiday to Japan, we made time to visit Pokémon centre Osaka.

Getting presents for your loved one can sometimes be quite challenging! What about getting something thoughtful for people with cancer? If you have never stepped in their shoes before, you would probably find it hard to find the appropriate and practical things for those going through this difficult time.
This is how Cancer Care Parcel came about! It was started by Dr Shara Cohen, who herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. Since her diagnosis, she found that a few friends felt awkward and avoided her, as they did not know what to say or react. She used her own experience and understanding to set up this website to let people suffering from cancer know that you are thinking of them.
