Fun Ways to Meet, Socialise and Date in 2021

This is written in collaboration with Get Blogged All of our lives have been brought to a halt over the past 18 months and nearly all of us have had to make changes in our lives especially when it has come to seeing friends, family and making new connections. Grandparents have had to get to grips with technology such as Facetime, Zoom and Whatsapp to stay in touch with their loved ones and for many, our work and social time have switched from in-person interactions to online video dates. But this sudden switch in how we interact with others doesn't mean we cannot meet new people and develop new relationships or strengthen existing ones and on the plus side, the UK is currently opening back up, meaning we can now meet others for socially distanced walks or a drink in a beer garden. Of course, if anything is to go by from whats happened over the past 18 months, we cannot be sure it will stay this way as we could face another wave of infections in the future and therefore possible res......

Top Things to Do in Marvellous Miami

As the world slowly starts to open up in areas and the possibility of future travel looks more encouraging, we can start to dream more about bigger adventures and international travel.

So I thought I would start sharing some more travel guides to get that wanderlust going and today is all about Miami. Miami is one of the top holiday spots in the United States. Boasting incredibly warm weather, stunning beaches, cultural attractions, hip neighbourhoods and so much more, it’s really no surprise why the Magic City has become the premier travel destination in South Florida. Whether you’re visiting Miami to soak up some sunshine by the beach, do some serious retail therapy, sample incredible local food, immerse yourself in the local culture or try a little bit of everything, there......

Micro Festivals and Weekend Gatherings 2021

I've been going to music festivals since my teens and have taken both of my boys each summer since they were babies, but of course, the past year has thrown a real spanner in the works and like everyone else in the UK we gladly stayed home last summer but as the vaccine roll-out keeps going from strength to strength and restrictions are slowly easing and as long as infection rates don't rise then there is the possibility that small weekend festivals and gatherings may go ahead this year. All of the festivals and gatherings mentioned in this guide are running with a Covid protocol in place, with limited numbers in spacious settings, but of course, going to any sort of gathering this year may not be for you at this time and that completely understandable as we are all navigating this pandemic in a way that feels comfortable for ourselves but for those that are trying to capture that festival feeling on a much smaller scale, here are my top picks. 1. We are not a festival summer s......
