This is one to add to your holiday season bucket list, for sure. Last weekend, as I had promised my kids a family movie night, we were flicking through Netflix trying to decide on a movie we all wanted to watch, when we stumbled upon the newly released Christmas Chronicles. It took a bit of […]

Far from being a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas decor, I like to mix things up when it comes to decorating for the holidays. Much to the slight dismay of the rest of my family, who are slightly less keen on my, ehm, modern ideas. Last year, my little girl came home from school […]

Few things beat homemade treats – and having goodies you have made yourself is a great thing to have at hand during the festive season, when we all have guests over far more frequently than during the rest of the year.

It is no wonder, then, that the average Scandi (myself included) is somewhat obsessed with interiors, and will literally change things up at home far more often than what you might consider normal. In the weeks leading […]

Autumn is the perfect time if you fancy changing up your hair colour a little (or a lot). Why?
