Christmas DIY Wreath
Hello gorgeous and welcome to day 1 of my 12 days of Christmas or Blogmas. As the title suggests, we're going to be making a diy wreath. To be honest, the Christmas spirit left me awhile ago. However, I do love a bit of Christmas decorating. It always helps put me in the mood a little bit. Hopefully, it will help any of you other not feeling the Christmas spirit feel a little bit better. This is especially great if you don't have any decorations. Or if you have kids and would like a fun activity to do with them.

Best Things to do When Visiting Egypt
I don't about you but I've always felt pulled to visit Egypt. How I haven't visited the country as yet is beyond me. Egypt is a country that spans the past right into the modern era. Situated in the northeast of Africa, and neighbouring Israel. Egypt is home to one of the world’s oldest and most evolved ancient civilizations. Of course, all that is left now are dusty pyramids, mummies, and hidden treasures. But with history available for you to explore around so many corners, you will have an amazing and inspiring holiday. From what I've heard (one of my bffs is Egyptian), here are some of the best things to do when visiting Egypt.

Ways to Experience A Different Type of Holiday
As someone who has traveled extensively, and as I help so many wonderful people plan very special trips, I can understand the real need to start seeing the world differently these days. The world is no longer the big place that we used to imagine it was many years ago. We can travel from one side to the other in a day, we can explore unspoilt islands and beautiful places easier than ever before, and because of that, more people are wanting to be a little more adventurous with their travel plans. So if you find yourself in a bit of a conundrum of how to spend your vacation, and want to avoid the standard resort with a beach and hotel pool to enjoy, then here are ways to experience a different type of holiday.

How to Travel Solo When You’re Over 30
Hello my travel giraffes! How are you doing the start of this autumn? I'm still wishing for summer but, I do enjoy watching the leaves turn to warmer hues.
