It’s probably a little ironic that I’m writing about a fear of flying on a travel blog, but unfortunately I suffer from a horrible fear of flying that I’ve had to learn to manage over the years (particularly when the kids came along!) and I wanted to share some tips…

When Simply Be recently contacted me to review their festive party wear, I was quite intrigued. Simply Be is a brand that I’ve heard of, but I’ve never purchased anything from their range before. I always assumed they only did clothes for the curvier lady. However, many of their clothes actually…
