Preparing to Refit Your Office During Lockdown

2021 is already starting to present challenges for every business owner, limiting many to working from home whilst others have to implement a lot of measures within their workplace to make it safe.   Whilst some business owners are left with nothing but time on their hands until their premises reopen in February or March, others are preparing to provide their business with a new look.

AD A Well Earned His And Hers Treat With Boots

Well, what a year 2020 has been... I can not believe it's 2021 already and we are still in a lockdown, it only seems two minutes ago that the first lockdown was declared and we were all hoping this would be done and gone and we would be seeing some sort of normality by now. It seems though, that no one knows what's going on or what tier we are in, or what the rules are. After the Christmas we have all just had to - not really getting to see people or share any special time with our loved ones, it's certainly hit a lot of people's mental hard - mine included. Let's hope we can see some positive stuff in 2021 - well, after January's lockdown is over that is - and we can all begin to have an amazing year...fingers crossed... Anyway, sorry for the doom and gloom start but I promise you t...

My Protein Protein-Packed Product Review

If I can take something positive out of 2020, it's that as a family we have made changes to look after ourselves a lot more. We haven't made massive changes but the little ones we have, they've made a massive difference.  Our family consists of myself and my wife Simone, my just turned 15-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter.  I have always been an on and off the gym type of person. One month I'm all for it but then the next month I just can not be bothered at all. I think a lot of this is down to my diet and energy levels to be honest - when I'm at the gym I love it but it's that actually getting to the gym I struggle with. And then there are the aches and pains I suffer from the few days after I actually get to the gym - something I put down to me being the ripe old ag...

Don’t Feel Ashamed Of Your Classic Masculinity

Recent controversies on Twitter aimed at Harry Styles and his gender-curious fashion sense have hit the headlines in recent days, and for an interesting reason. It seems as though the discourse surrounding what ‘masculinity’ actually is has become blurred. Some still hold onto it as the bloody-and-roaring ambition of the Vikings and in the hard-won, rugged, natural adventuring of our ancestors - to use a couple of intense examples. Others say masculinity is something every man defines for himself, and they are nearer to the truth. Harry Styles may wear dresses, for instance, but he is certainly no less of a powerful figure for it, and would likely outdo many of us in the romance department thanks to his charm. That said, you can defend Harry Styles, and new forms or interpretations of mas...

Eye Health Is Important, But So Is Style

In recent years, we all tend to choose glasses based on fashion and not what suits us! If you are wondering if it is correct our answer is no. Clearly fashion also plays an important role and is a huge influence for all of us without this meaning that we must always follow it literally! Men, just like women, do need to style what they wear to some extent. If you know a specific colour looks bad on you, then surely you will want to ensure it never crosses your closet. But when we put aside the fashion, it is also the practicality of a pair of glasses that may help us decide. Whilst we should not feel ashamed or unhappy wearing glasses, it may just be that you want a pair that is so dainty and unnoticeable that you need a little help finding the right ones for you. Let’s see the types of gla...

How Games Provide Clarity For Our Minds

Remember those Japanese games like Sudoku found in our early electronics and in those doctors’ office magazines? You had to "match" the pairs of cards with the ideograms, after first looking at them for a few seconds before closing? So many games improve our memories and can have massive cognitive benefits.  Games are often condemned by various circles, the media, and parents as a distraction for children from important tasks and as a "waste" of valuable time that can be spent on reading.But in reality, all games of all categories can be therapeutic and help develop a child's skills and more specifically strategy games such as the classic Chess, Mahjong or even strategy video games with fewer elements that lead to problem-solving. In a special tribute that follows we show you how strategy...

Designer Clothes Without High Prices? Count Yourself In

Is it possible to shop for designer clothes and accessories without busting your bank account? Well, it all depends on where you look. During the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone has become more financially conscious; whether you lost your job, entered into a furlough scheme, kept your job from home or somewhere in between, it has been a tough year for everyone. During quarantine, everyone slouched around their houses in their pajamas, with no need for fancy clothes or expensive watches. But now the world is re-opening. Can you keep up? In the intersection between financial responsibility and buying luxury items lies a compromise. No, you can’t afford for every single item of clothing you buy to be Tommy Hilfiger or Ralph Lauren. But you don’t also have to live that Target clothing life eith...

Learning During Lockdown With The Wine List – Tipsy Talk

Lockdown had many people trying out new things, the last thing I thought I would be doing is a wine tasting course in the comfort of our own home. The team at The Wine List reached out and asked if would like to try out their service. Spoiler alert – I am glad they reached out and so is my wife! The Wine List is a subscription wine box whereby you get 2 bottles of wine, 2 interactive cards, and an introduction to a wine booklet. Not only to The Wine List offer a subscription service, but it also acts as a wine course teaching you how to enjoy wine. I have to be honest here; I have never tried a wine that I enjoyed. However, there is a vast variety of grapes and wine types so I was probably always choosing the wrong one. The box arrived, I was worried about opening it, and there had ...
