A Review of Madagascar the Musical at WMC

* We were kindly provided tickets in exchange for an honest review  If you have kids you will probably have watched or at least heard of the smash-hit Dreamworks family film that is Madagascar (if your anything like us you have watched it a few times too) and what's not to love about it? It has adventure, friendship, love, trials and tribulations and plenty of cool and quirky characters so needless to say both and boys and I were very excited to be invited to watch the stage adaptation at the Welsh Millenium Centre this week. Madagascar the Musical follows the eclectic friends, a lion, zebra, hippo and giraffe, escape from New York Zoo and their journey to the island of Madagascar and first experience of "the wild". Just like the film firm favourites such as the Penguins, Lemurs and King Julien are all featured in the stage show as well as the ever-popular "I like to Move It Move It song (do expect dancing participation). Madagascar the Musical i......

Lookiero Personal Shopper Service Review

*I was provided with a Lookiero box free of charge in exchange for an honest review  Are you really busy? Do you struggle to find that balance between work, life, family, kids and everything else in between? You want to feel good in the clothes you wear and have your wardrobe updated for the season ahead but flat out have no time to get to the stores - well I hear you! I'm exactly in that position at the moment and because I am so short on time it means when I do get a spare hour or two, when I head to my favourite independent and high street stores I feel completely overwhelmed with choice and end up not knowing what to look for and coming away usually with nothing. That's where Lookerio comes in! I was invited to try out the Lookerio service which is a personalised styling service delivered straight to your door! Now being someone who is fairly fussy and particular about the clothes I wear as well as being an awkward size (I'm just under 4ft11 so smaller than sta......

Exploring Wroxeter Roman City

As a family, we love to explore all the fantastic ruins, castles and historical sites that are abundant in the UK. My youngest is especially fascinated with Romans as the moment so when we realised there were Roman Ruins only about 25mins away from where we were staying on our recent trip to Ironbridge we knew we had to visit. Wroxeter Roman City was once the fourth largest city in Roman Britain and has an impressive array of ruins, artefacts and objects to view as you first enter a small indoor museum which helps explain more about Wroxeter and what daily Roman life would have looked like and helps give context to Wroxeters past. You then wander outdoors around the bathhouse ruins, which was much bigger than I imagined. The grounds are also home to the iconic Old Work which is a 7-meter high basilica wall and the largest piece of the free-standing Roman wall in the country and nearly 2000yrs old at that! Old Work - the largest freestanding Roman Wall in the UK W......

Lets talk Intimate Wellness with Silk'n Tightra

*Advertorial Feature It's natural that as we age our body changes and as women we usually adjust fairly well to these changes, we often lean on our friends for support and advice when it comes to feeling confident at any age, reclaiming our bodies and discussing what works and what doesn't with each other. Then when we become parents we again help and share advice with each other because even if your parenting styles are different we find we share similar experiences such as sleep deprivation and the disorganisation that is thrust onto us after becoming mothers. How come then we don't often talk about the more intimate changes we have to deal with after childbirth and ageing? Dryness, pelvic weakness, urine leakage, less sensitivity, diminished pleasure during sex, these are all things we have to face yet why in 2019 is this kind of thing still so taboo? As a generation, we are throwing out the unachievable beauty standards that have been pushed onto woman for the l......
