A pair of lilac clogs decorated with colourful flower charms catches someone's attention online, while a photograph of checked slippers with soft lining makes another shopper think of the perfect winter gift. Both pictures might be saved, shared or admired, but whether that interest eventually turns into a purchase is another matter.
Art is usually the last thing on the list when you're doing up a house. The sofa gets bought, the walls get painted, the curtains finally go up, and then you're left staring at a bare wall above the fireplace with no idea whether you should be spending £40 or £400 on it. Spend too little and the room still looks unfinished. Spend too much and you feel a bit sick every time you walk past it. The good news is that there's a sensible middle ground, and once you know where your money actually goes, deciding how much to spend on art for your home gets a lot easier.
A quick text or a voice note is easy, but it rarely sticks. A printed thank-you card with a photo from the day itself is different. It gets propped on a mantelpiece, pinned to a fridge or tucked into a memory box, and it shows the person you are thanking that you took a bit of time over it.
If there is one thing we all know, it's that the book is usually better than the film, and I was fully prepared to stand by that opinion when it came to Verity!

Although I genuinely had no idea what to expect.
Finding a signature fragrance can be one of the most enjoyable parts of building a beauty routine. The right scent can boost confidence, complement your personal style, and make everyday moments feel special. However, luxury perfumes often come with expensive price tags, making it difficult to experiment with different fragrances.
When October hits, it's all things spooky in this house, and of course, that means a horror film of some sort every evening if I can squeeze one in! Not that I need an excuse to watch horror films, but at least in October it's considered perfectly normal to spend your evenings watching people get chased around by masked murderers, right?.
