Heading off to college is exciting, nerve wracking, and full of ‘where do I even start?’ moments. From picking classes to packing your dorm, preparation is key. And if you’re planning to set up a study area at home before you go stocking up on essentials like HP toner cartridges, your printer can save you last minute stress when assignments start to pile up. Beyond your printing and techniques, there’s a lot more that you can do to make the transition smooth and fun. So let’s take a look at 5 tips to get ready for college.
Organise your tech gear.
If you’re going to be in a dorm, you can use all the technology that you want, but college life is digital, and having the right tech setup can make a big difference to your study plans. Make sure that your laptop, tablet, or reader is up to date and ready for long study sessions. Invest in accessories like a reliable mouse, keyboard, or portable charger to keep your gadgets running. Cloud storage or an external hard drive is also a lifesaver for backing up projects. This is your personal command center. It should be organized, efficient, and ready to settle anything.
Many mums find that their beauty regimes go out of the window or take a backseat when life gets hectic. Being a parent is a full-time job. It can be tough to find the time to treat yourself and indulge in self-care. The good news is that there are some amazing time-saving treatments around. In this guide, we’ll explore some of the best options for mums on the go.
Semi-permanent eyebrow makeup
Brows are big news in terms of beauty trends. For many years now, it’s been fashionable to have strong brows or a subtle but more sculpted and defined look. You can enhance your natural brows using pencils, pens or shaping kits, but investing in semi-permanent makeup is a great alternative. There are various treatments available, but in most cases, an hour or two in the chair will set you up for months of perfect-looking brows. Every morning and pre-going-out prep session, you can save time while looking polished and put-together. If you’re considering this treatment, it’s important to research, read reviews and make sure you understand what the treatment entails before you commit.

Have you discovered my steal the look series yet? In this series I share really cool, unusual and clever decor ideas that are easy to steal and re-create in your own home. The last one I shared was a useful and really clever Ikea hack. Today it’s about thinking outside the box with your lighting.
How cool are these pendant lights? A cluster of different light shades hanging from the ceiling with different coloured cords. How original is that? Cluster pendent lights are a big trend at the moment but usually you see 3 or 4 of exactly the same light. Not only does this idea use different (yet complementary) shades but they take it a step further with the colourful cords. Such a playful and fun idea for a kids room. Even if you played with just two colours, it would be very eye-catching.
Whenever you think of re-decorating your rooms or just giving them a refresh, how often do you think of doing something with the floors? I know I tend to look at the walls or the furniture or even the decor because the floors somehow feel more fixed. But actually thats not true. You can change your floors really easily and sometimes that can be just the new look the room needs.
I’m loving the vinyl floor look which is no longer just for bathrooms. Vinyl flooring has come such a long way with so many more finishes, colours and patterns available. While I probably wouldn’t go for vinyl in every room in my home, I think they’re a great and fun option for kids rooms. Apart from being durable, they’re so easy to clean (goodbye paint stains!) and they allow you to have fun. Think stripes or checks or a sea of your favourite colour. I’ve been looking at some creative ways of using vinyl in a kids room and here are 3 fun ways:
Did you catch my new series ‘steal the look’ last time? It’s all about sharing clever, stylish and useful decor ideas that are easy to replicate. Last week’s was a really cute idea that will delight any kid! For my second idea to steal, it’s this organised peg board which contains one of the best Ikea hacks. Have you spotted the Ikea hack yet?
White, soft pastels and light greys are some of the most popular colours for kids rooms and nurseries. It’s not hard to see why – I mean who doesn’t love those colours and they’re easy to decorate with. But if you’re after something a bit more unique, more striking or more daring, there is no better colour than blue – lots of it in deep, dark and bold shades (we’re not talking hints of blue or baby blue here!). I’ve noticed a growing trend in blue kids rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and even kitchens and I’m so drawn to it. There is something so cool and calming about this colour even in it’s darkest shade and so it’s ideal for any age, any gender and any space.
