I sincerely believe that anyone with a soul and a brain ought to intersperse any and all ‘grown-up’ reading with some intelligent kids books. I’m not just talking Harry Potter (although that has its place) but lovingly written and illustrated picture books. Especially the ones that reference The Count of Monte Cristo, Zane Grey, Peter Lorre and The Little Mermaid…

To celebrate their 50th birthday, Chupa Chups have just launched a range of limited edition retro bags and purses. With 5 billion Chupa Chups being slurped into oblivion every year across 160 countries, the sugary teeth-rotting treats have certainly stayed popular amongst kids and clubbers alike.

My name is Maria, M-A-R-I-A, and I am hooked on A & E's reality show about drug addiction, Intervention. Tell someone you are a fan of the show and you get one of two responses: complete disgust ("How can you watch that!?") or a shared enthusiasm, a secret handshake of sorts ("Oh, you too!! I love that show!").

You can tell a thing or two about a person not just by the shows they watch, but by the shows they love. For example, when I meet a Firefly fan, I know I’ve met a friend. I know I’ve met someone who just gets it (whatever it is). That’s not to say that we can’t be friends if you’re not a Browncoat.

If I got a card that had the words “Why are you so naughty? Because it makes me so happy!” scrawled across it, I'd be giddy with joy. I'm bored of minimalism and need something more interesting to distract me - I'm a bit like a magpie sometimes.
Thank god for Rob Ryan as he easily makes all of us fall in love with silly things all over again. And detail! Remember detail? With his romantic prints and silly designs and w...
