Healthy Winter Fruit Loaf Recipe


  
January is a time for healthy eating and detoxing, but it can be hard if, like me you have a major sweet tooth for all things naughty. 

One way to keep on track with the January resolutions is to try and keep some healthy snacks handy for when your cravings for sugar strike. This tasty fruit loaf is really quick to whip up and keeps in the fridge for when you fancy a nibble. It is packed with natural goodness and protien to keep your cravings at bay.

Looking to spruce up your home for 2016? 

Look no further, here are some easy hacks to nail the hottest interior design trends for spring summer 2016. 

Statement Cushion

Update your sofa with a pop of colour. A uplifting botanical print cushion will transform any tired looking chair. I like this one from Made.com, it makes a statement on its own, or pair with simple geometric prints in black and white for a spring summer update.

How To | Set up an Etsy Store


New Year, new resolutions? 

Last year my new years resolution was to turn my hobby into something more by selling my handmade makes on Etsy.
Etsy is an international market place for anyone to sell handmade, vintage or craft items. It allows your makes to be exposed to buyers interested in the beauty of handmade and provides support and tips via the Etsy blog. 

I opened my shop in April and although I was nervous at first I loved the thrill I got when my first item sold! A year on I am so glad I did it as not only does it give me a purpose and allows me to spend my spare time doing something I love, but it has grown my confidence and self belief too! If you are thinking about setting up an Etsy store, GO FOR IT! You have nothing to lose and honestly I think it was one of the best things I did last year. 

Here are my top tips & a step by step guide to setting up an Etsy store...
