Simple and very quick to do! All you need are: 1.) Old tin(s) 2.) A nail (or something similar to punch holes in the tin – and a hammer of course) 3.) Tea Lights (real or fake) First things first, remove the lid on the tin – we do need a way to get our … Continue Reading

I found some fantastic shelves and racks that I just couldn’t wait to share! How amazing are these? They also have the potential to change your living area so much! I think my favourite thing about them is how unusual they are  – the patterns are borne of regular everyday patterns but used in a … Continue Reading

For some reason still unbeknownst to me, I had never been to a car boot sale! That is until this weekend and boy was it an experience and a half. On the one hand, there is a lot of rubbish on sale – from old lipstick (still unused of course) to tattered coats which are … Continue Reading

This is us. Halloween 2013. Okay, this is not my typical type of post but Halloween is right around the corner and it’s something of a party emergency! 🙂 Every year it creeps up on me – obliviously enjoying my October until… Wham! The dreaded word starts to appear everywhere from all my friends (and … Continue Reading

Following the release of the Hand Luggage App for Android Phones, we’re pleased to announce that The Hand Luggage Only app is now available for download for iPhones! (Whoop! Whoop!!!)

Kings Cross St Pancras is one of London’s most iconic buildings. I still remember vividly the first time I saw it – I was transfixed and stared at it in awe for ageeees! Well till we drove past it anyway. 🙂 Back then, I remember the whole neighbourhood being slightly grimy yet this in now way … Continue Reading

Heads up – this isn’t my usual blog post but I have to make an exception as I really want to share this with you. I have no idea who said this originally but I couldn’t agree with it more (if you do know who wrote/said this, please do let me know). I suppose this … Continue Reading

Twas the night before Christmas…. The cat was getting drunk on mulled wine… Santa, all ready for Christmas, took a bit of time off for some festive golf… …before heading out to deliver presents! Unfortunately however, Rudolph wasn’t having any of it! So Santa had to resort to more creative ways to deliver the presents… … Continue Reading

This one is so easy that pretty much anyone can do this in a matter of mere minute! A nice and somewhat quirky way to store wine glasses (which are always a pain to store in cupboards or drawers – especially so when they’ve just been washed and need to dry) is to hang them … Continue Reading

House hunting in London is one of the most stressful things you can do in the UK. It is probably what whoever coined the term “Rat Race” had in mind when he/she did. It’s genuinely exhausting and unbelievably time-consuming but after moving homes quite a few times in London, I’ve become something of an old … Continue Reading

This is a great idea which takes barely any effort at all! All you need is a ladder (make sure it’s a solid one and not a weak/shaky one) and some wood planks. If you’re really ‘particular’ about it (I would be) – get a hammer and some nails and fix the wood planks onto … Continue Reading

My home decor preferences tend to go across the range, I like minimalist clean living spaces with white walls (as these bounce off more light and make the room seem spacious which is a big deal in London where houses are smaller in size relative to the rest of the country). I also like rustic, … Continue Reading

Offices so cool, they seem almost a crime to do any work in them! 1.) So. Much. Colour. It’s like the skittles factory exploded in here. Nah, scratch that – if Skittles and Rainbows had babies, I believe it would look like this office. I love it!   2.) I mean, Come on! There’s a … Continue Reading

** Competitions now closed** It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these but seeing as summer time is upon us and lots of holiday planning has started, I figured it makes sense to pull together this starter for 10 and hopefully, in some little way, help you see more of the world.. and … Continue Reading
