I received the products in exchange for my honest review. About mulberry silk Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk available. It comes from silkworms produced from the Bombyx mori moth. These little guys only feed on mulberry leaves. They then produce their cocoons which are spun into raw silk fibers, which are naturally white. It is 100% natural, odourless and hypoallergenic. It is because mulberry silk contains a natural protein called sericin that reduces the possibility of an allergic reaction. People with allergies and asthma benefit because silk is hypo-allergenic and does not contain bed bugs, mites and other microscopic life that live in …

I love biscuits and without doubt the Italian biscotti is one of my true favourites. They are crunchy, with a lot of texture, and versatile. They are elegant and perfect treats with a cup of coffee or tea. They are so cultured but rustic at the same time. I never made them before because I thought they are a lot more complicated than this – but I was wrong. The best thing about them, that you can also add lots of different nuts, dried fruits, chocolate chips – whatever combination you prefer. This recipe is NOT a traditional biscotti recipe, …
This Christmas Gift Guide was put together in collaboration with the brands. So, finally that special time of the year has arrived: Christmas is around the corner – well, a few more week left until then.

We had tickets to the ATP finals at the O2 that night, which is just a tube stop away from Canary Wharf on the Jubilee line – and the O2 is being full of chain restaurants we decided to rather pick ROKA in …
These toys were gifted by TigerParrot.com Buying toys for a small child with Autism is not easy. Bobcat has a firm affection for trains and all sorts of vehicles – but mainly trains. This is quite common with children on the spectrum, so we often visit miniature railways, the London Transport Museum and he has countless little trains and wooden tracks. This is of course all fine, because that’s what he likes. But, sometimes we need to encourage him to do other things and play with other toys to work on his fine motor skills and promote social skills like …
I have received this item in exchange for my honest review. When it comes to buying Christmas presents for the children, we can all feel a bit overwhelmed: there are so many toys available and the toy makers are coming out with newer and bigger ideas how to grab parents by their wallet. Thinking of all the adverts I came across recently, I can see a terrible trend of small, plastic, collectible toys, which of course I refuse to buy. Also, I refuse to but lots of presents for the children just because we can afford. Furthermore, I refuse to …
