Necessity To Accessory - The Evolution Of The Scarf

Tweet

I am sure most women have at least one scarf in their wardrobe. It may be a warm woollen number to keep out the cold or it could be a decorative piece to accent a favourite outfit but it is sure to be there. I can still remember the days when, apart from woollies in the winter, it was only old ladies and the well to do who seemed to wear scarves but now they are everywhere and worn throughout the seasons by every generation.

You can’t walk into any fashion store without seeing a bank of decorative scarves in a plethora of pretty patterns and I am wondering how that happened. My only scarf used to be the one I wore to football matches but now I have dozens of the things and I can’t recall exactly when the fashion landscape changed.

We have smart technology all over—smart phones and smart tablets are something we’re familiar with, but how about smart homes?  Yes, indeed!  These homes are designed for those who love state-of-the-art technology, love to be pampered and have a very sizeable bank account!

The Importance Of Friendship For Health & Nutrition

Tweet

 Our friends are like angels - they lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly, and when they reach for our hand, they often touch our hearts.

My sweetest memory is of the time I first met my best friend. I was three years old and, at that age, family are our only friends. So there I was all alone on my first day of preschool and who should happen to take my hand but Jule.

We used to spend every spare minute sitting at the Lego table - not ever really building anything, just spending time together.

It is the joy of friendships such as these and the excitement of being together which makes life worth living. Think of all the friends you have had and there is no doubt that the time you spent with them was the time you valued most.
