How to Buy Travel Souvenirs You’ll Love for Years to Come
When we're travelling we can get caught up in buying all the little trinkets and souvenirs that we spot in the tourist hot-spots like markets and gift shops. But sometimes we get home with a whole bunch of stuffed toys and porcelain things that need dusting (and don't go with anything we own) and we wonder what on earth we were thinking!! Only me?!

How to Organise Your Computer Files
I don't know about you, but my computer files can get a little disorganised over the course of the year. It seems like such a good idea to quickly save that document with a silly name, because you'll fix it later and just leave it in your Documents folder rather than filing it away, but then it's the end of the year and you have heaps of documents that you can't remember if you … [Read more...]
