Here's how to... keep in the loop, circle, whatever

Google+ kinda feels like the social media platform no one needed nor wanted, but we're being forced to use if we want the powers that be to take us seriously. We're not going to debate endlessly about it, We're just going to get on board. Resentfully. Apparently the profile's been viewed over 609,000 times so it's giving the people what they want. Again, resentfully. So here are a few ways to keep up to date with what's going on. Twitter Google+ Instagram Pinterest Leave your blogs/socials in the comments below and we'll be sure...

Would you go clubbing with your parents?

They say music was better 'back in my day'. Although I was a little young for it at the time, the 90s were the pinnacle of rave weekends and house music. But with most clubbers of the decade now being parents (and in their forties) a new travel trend has started to emerge: Retro Ravers. This year has seen a increase of older couples booking party weekends in clubbing hotspots such as Ibiza, Magaluf, and Ayia Napa, in an effort to recapture their youth and the glory days of good music and carefree partying. After all, a mortgage and children doesn't...

Being a temporary football fan for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil

The World Cup looms. Whichever camp you sit in - whether you're a die hard [insert country of choice here] fan or couldn't care less about any of it, it can't be ignored. With Brazil hosting this year's events, the logo looking like a man giving himself a genuine facepalm, and teams from all over the world vying for a spot of glory, Lindsay, PR person and general fan of sun-lounging, explains how every two years she becomes a die-hard footie fan. I’m not going to pretend I know a thing about football. Never will you find me glued to Match of...

Wanderlust and Envy: The £750,000 drinking holiday

Who doesn't love a good cocktail? But while most of us prefer to only be down a few quid (and a little bit of dignity) after a night on the booze, this holiday could well send most of the population into outright bankruptcy. Costing £750,000, it's bound to leave most people with a massive Ouch, as well as a wicked hangover. The 40-day tour, starting in London and visiting everywhere from Monaco to Dubai, sees travellers sample some of the most exclusive drinks on the planet ranging from just a mere thousand pounds, to prices that could outright...

Dog spas and Pet Menus: Luxury dog friendly hotels in UK

It's no secret I'm a cat lady. I make no apologies for how my life will turn out; surrounded by cats I call my children and who will have a better standard of general living than I do. I'll avoid going on holiday because I can't trust anyone to give each cat the level of care and devotion each one needs. I may even go a little Egyptian. Ok, a LOT Egyptian. But then I met a dog. A crazy hound who runs and runs and has more energy than twenty toddlers high on Vimto at Peppa Pig Land or whatever it's called. And it got me thinking. Dogs are far...

Edinburgh Adventure | Review: Hilton Edinburgh Grosvenor

Following on from our Edinburgh Adventure series, after a glorious night in the absolutely stunning Glasshouse Hotel, we packed our bags and moved over to the West End of Edinburgh to the Hilton Edinburgh Grosvenor, located a short jog away from Haymarket station. When we reached the street the hotel is based on, we were slightly confused. There were two signs for the hotel. One in front of us on the right, and the other a good walk away on the left. It was 50/50, and we decided after a long walk to just go to the closest set of door. Fortunately...
