Skills we need to teach our child before they leave home
May 20 2020
With more time on our hands thanks to the lockdown, it’s understandable that many parents, like me, have started thinking about how little time we have left with our precious children.
After all, your kids will eventually leave home, either for university or to start their own family. When they do move out, you need to make sure that they have all the adult insight and skills they need.
While school provides children with a vital education, the curriculum doesn’t usually contain many basic life skills, meaning it’s up to you as a parent to prepare your child for the future.
With this in mind, here’s a list of some of the essential skills that your child needs to know before they fly the nest and start making a life of their own.

Beauty essentials: DIY Sugar Scrub Recipe
May 20 2020
During the coronavirus-forced lockdown, I have become a DIY Queen. I have played around with household ingredients to make a very simple home-made sugar scrub. Here’s my recipe which you can use on face and body! It will take less than 10 minutes to make but you can go wild customising it with lots of your favourite ingredients.
The expensive sugar scrubs you see in department stores and spas cost pennies to make! Sugar scrubs are a simple beauty recipe with countless variations, and they can be incredibly moisturising and exfoliating to the skin. I use my own sugar scrub on my face, body, and (especially) feet to remove dead skin and moisturise. The result? Silky skin with minimal effort!
