We're all so busy these days that we need apps to help us arrange lunch with friends. But are we confusing being busy with being successful?
Women with busy lives can be rather hard to pin down. There are business meetings, dates, conferences, styling appointments, dentists appointments, facials, consultations, breakfast meetings and conference calls to contend with. Never mind family functions, taking care of children, and – oh yeah – paying attent...

The colder it gets outside, the harder it can be to find the motivation to roll out of bed, and face another dreary morning commute. Crowded trains and traffic-ridden roadways seem even that much worse when it’s blustery and frozen outside - never mind if you walk or cycle to work.
The winter commute can definitely get you down, but there are things you can do to cheer yourself up and make the most of the time it takes to get into work.

The other morning in the shower I was interrupted in my reveries of ablution by the world mumpreneur. This is not a word I use, engage with often, or thought I had an opinion about. Until now.
I am a mum. I am an entrepreneur. I run my own design, editorial and trends business, undertake freelance writing and run several blogs. That morning as I took the only spare 5 minutes available to get clean with the twins propped u...

How do some couples stay together for years, whilst others can't
make it past the six month mark?
My boyfriend and I have been together for 12 years and, quite often,
the first thing that someone will ask either of us upon hearing this
is "how do you do it?". Just saying that we're in love and feel like
we're perfect for each other never really helps other people, as
everyone thinks the same thing. So, I tried to come up with a few
tips to share that ...

We're strung out, exhausted and overworked. But is it really therapy we need? Signs seem to point to yes...
A lot of the women I know seem to be in some sort of crisis, lately. (Except you, of course.)
I wish I were just being dramatic, but I’m not sure I’ve gone more than a week without most of my conversations turning in to that of sticking ones head in the over, drinking ourselves into oblivion, or simply seeking out a therapist.

Work is called “work” for a reason – it’s not meant to be a walk in the park. Yes, those of us who run our own businesses or “do what we love” generally like what we do, but that doesn’t mean that it’s all sunshine, gummy bears and Katy Perry tracks.
Office politics can easily get you down, and it can be difficult at times to make your voice heard, your needs met, and stress levels even. However, what you must keep in mind is that dealing with people, even your boss and gossipy ...

If you’re pregnant and you have a feline presence in your house, you can guarantee that the first thing you’ll get asked is “what are you going to do with the cat(s)?”. The person asking is always a little purse-lipped when you say things like “erm, feed them, stroke them, take them to the vet when needed, you know, the usual…”.Apparently a cat is only considered a member of the family until another human member of the family turns up.
