 AD - GIFTED | Looking for something more statement or looking to choose something more cute and dainty? 

When it comes to rings, everyone has a different tastes. Gold or silver? Chunky or dainty pieces? So much variety to choose from! Rings are an easy and perfect way to help accessorise your outfit and really elevate your overall look. Whether you opt for a statement piece or get stacking your rings up, they can change the whole vibe of the outfit and add that extra special touch.

Consider Your Choice of Metal
When it comes to jewellery, you may have preferences to which type of metal you like to accessorise with. Gold? Silver? Rose Gold? If you're one of these people who just like to style with one colour of rings, this can help you coordinate your look and give off more of a polished finish. However, mixing metals is a great way to change up your look and make more of a statement. For rings, mixing metals could be perfect for those who like to stack and layer jewellery, as this can help create a more statement and more noticeable accessory. It's important to make sure you find the right balance between your mixed metals, to make sure you look isn't too over the top and complicated.

Make Sure You Pick The Correct Size
When choosing your rings, it's always a good idea to get an exact ring measurement before purchasing, to ensure it is the correct size for you. When wearing your rings, they should fit comfortably and snug around your finger without leaving any marks, indents or bulges.

Have A Statement Piece
Statement pieces are usually big and bold - definitely pieces that gets attention and you'll get questions about. Some people may wear statement rings for fashion reasons, whilst others wear them for something more personal - it could be a symbol of your religion, your passions, your creativeness or even your family history.

Consider Stacking or Layering Your Rings
By stacking up or layering your rings together, this is one simple way to make a statement with your jewellery. More dainty and delicate style rings are perfect for stacking as they aren't too chunky or bulky on the fingers. When you choose to begin layering or stacking your rings, this will draw attention to your hands, as well as helping to accessorise and complete your outfit. Just remember, less is more - you don't want to over stack your rings or wear too many.

AD| Need a new hobby or something to do in your spare time? Why not try online gaming as an escape from reality!

Nowadays, online gaming has become extremely popular with players of all ages. Not only is playing games fun and exciting, but gaming can help improve multiple aspects of your life – including learning and problem-solving, promoting positive mental health, as well as preventing mental illness and suicide. Online gaming can also benefit people of all ages as it can be an escape for those suffering with life problems – work and school stress, maybe you're recovering from an injury and need something to take your mind off things, or you just need a break from a busy day. Here are 6 benefits of playing online games for all ages, including young children, teenagers, adults and elderly people.

online games

One of the main benefits of playing online games is the ability to learn new skills or play new games that you may never have heard of. Every day, we are learning new things and finding new games to play – it will also give you the chance to improve your skills and become better at playing certain games. Many games require good memory skills, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, and time management skills in order to complete them. By playing online games regularly, you can improve your own personal skills, as well as learn some new skills, and find yourself improving day by day.

Gamers require a lot of patience and focus, no matter what type of game they are playing. Games including components such as puzzles, memory games, quizzes, and problem-solving are great for increasing cognitive functions and keeping your brain healthy. These types of games are incredibly useful and have a positive benefit on older players, as this could potentially slow down the ageing process and prevent medical conditions like Dementia and Alzheimer's. Some games that I've played online recently include word searches and hidden numbers games. Both of these games have challenged me and have allowed me to use a number of my skills to complete these games.

Nowadays, many games you find online allow you to connect with other players located all around the world. This has great social benefits as you can communicate, play in team games and make new friends online. The rise of multiplayer online games has allowed us to connect in another way, allowing us to socialise together to complete tasks and solve problems. Making new friends online can also help boost self-confidence for those who struggle in social situations, suffer with nerves or anxiety, or just find it hard in general to make friends in real life.

Online games come in all shapes and sizes. Cartoon and animated games, card games, puzzles, role-playing games, you name it, you can find it online. There are so many types available, there are always games suitable for all ages and abilities. One game in particular that I've really been loving and is something I think would be suitable for anyone is Candy House. Candy House – similar to the ever so popular Candy Crush, is a matching game that is really easy to play but can lead to multiple hours of fun. It’s an incredibly easy and relaxing game that you can play in your spare time, or when you need a break from your work/school life.

 AD| So you’re in the market for a new home. Should you go for a traditional lived-in house or purchase a new build property from a developer?

At the end of the day, it comes down to personal preferences and individual circumstances. But let’s take a look at the benefits of buying a new build property to help you decide.


new build home

You Can Have Input Into the Design
If you opt for an older property, you will generally have to buy it as seen. Any changes you want to make to the décor or layout, you’ll have to undertake after moving in. When you buy a new-build home “off-plan”, that is, before it has been built, the developer will offer you choices about how the property is fitted out. You can choose the fixtures and fittings that suit you, including the bathroom suite, door handles, kitchen units, flooring and more. If you’re keen to have a “move straight in” property and avoid the disruption of completing home improvements after moving in, this makes a new build an appealing option. 

There is No Property Chain
Property chain problems are one of the leading causes of delays and failed sales. In a chain, multiple house sales are reliant upon one another, which means that if one transaction falters, it could cause concerns for buyers and sellers further along the chain. Failed sales can cost those involved thousands of pounds, not to mention the stress and disappointment of losing a dream home sale. If you’re buying from a house builder, no chain minimises the risk of issues, delays and associated costs.

More Financial Support and Payment Options
First-time buyers can take advantage of the government’s Help To Buy scheme. You can combine Help to Buy equity loans with a deposit and a mortgage to help you buy your first home. The scheme is only available for people wanting to buy a new-build property. The loan can be as much as 40% of the purchase price, which offers a real leg up for first-timers on a strict budget.

Many property developers offer house part exchange schemes for homeowners seeking to sell their home and buy another. This allows homeowners to sell their existing property and buy a new-build home in one swift transaction. The developer buys their customer’s property and knocks its value off the new home’s purchase price. Housebuilders generally offer a slightly below market valuation, but part-exchange can be a Godsend for anyone struggling to sell their property on the open market. This also applies to someone who wants to avoid the stress and waiting of a traditional house sale.


new build home

It’s a Blank Canvas
There’s something special about building a home in a building where no one has ever lived before. Your new home is a completely blank canvas that you can turn into your perfect living space. On a practical level, there’s no need to decorate over-loud wallpaper or rip updated and dirty carpets. You can even think about what style flooring you wish to opt for – new carpets, laminate, or even Engineered Wood Flooring, there are so many options to choose from!

New Build Homes are More Eco-Friendly
If you care about the environment, a new build property is a purchase that will not play on your conscience. New buildings are mainly more energy-efficient than older properties. They have better insulation, and you won’t have to worry about drafts coming through ageing windows and doors. Some developers specialise in creating green, “smart” homes. These may have features such as solar panelled heating systems and living walls or roofs. What's more, a green house will be much cheaper to heat and light – you could save hundreds of pounds a year by opting for a new build property!

A Warranty Will Cover Your Home
If you buy an older property and something goes wrong after you purchase it, in most cases, it will be down to you to rectify the problem. Developers of new build homes offer a building warranty, typically for 10 years from when construction is completed. If any structural issues arise during this time, your warranty will cover the cost of repairs. For the first two years, you’ll also be able to claim for less significant issues with the building, such as leaking windows. If you buy off-plan, as most people do, you’ll also be able to claim a refund of your deposit if the developer goes insolvent before they can complete your home. 

The Best Safety Standards
Developers have to meet certain safety standards when building new properties. This includes installing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms. Any appliances that the housebuilder fits will also be compliant with current safety standards. 

Buying a new-build property has many advantages, but it won’t be the right choice for everyone. With the information above, you can weigh up the pros and cons and decide what’s right for you.

AD| Are you currently move house? Or are you looking to begin your moving home journey, but don't know where to start?

Moving to a new home can be a very exciting chapter in your life, but at times, it can feel very scary and overwhelming. There's so many things to do and so little time, it can be a very stressful journey if you haven't planned your move properly. There are so many things to consider when you begin your moving house process, and it can be extremely easy to forget many important jobs along the way. Listed below are 4 of the most important things you need to consider before moving home, and some great tips to help you keep on track.

moving house

 Declutter Your Belongings in Advance
Making sure you begin clearing your home of any unwanted or damaged items before your move will save you a lot of time and any unnecessary stress. Any unwanted items could end up being donated, recycled or simply throw away. By removing things you don’t use, want or need, you’ll be reducing the amount of your personal belongings that you actually need to move. Not only will this create less work for you, but you'll be using less boxes, you'll probably need a smaller van and you'll require less help from your removal team.

Book Your Removals Service
Picking your removals service might seem like the easiest part of moving home compared to all the jobs need during this process, but if you don't book this in early, you could be facing multiple problems come moving day. Whether you're looking for removals in London or any other area of the UK, it's worth checking online for company reviews or get recommendations from friends or family, to make sure you're in professional hands with a reputable removals team. Many companies make this part of moving home so easy for you, by offering quotes and valuations for customers to make sure you get the best services for your money, and you get the right sized van for the job.

Make a Packing Plan
Packing is definitely one of the more boring jobs when it comes to moving house an it always takes longer than you think. It's definitely important to start as soon as possible and create a packing plan to help you keep on tip of things. By starting with the rooms you use the least, you'll be able to pack up the items you use the least and this wont be too disruptive on your day-to-day life. 

Another top tip is to make sure you have enough boxes and storage containers to make sure you have plenty of space to pack up your belongings. When you begin to label your boxes, try and be as specific as possible. By doing this, you'll know exactly what is inside the boxes and once you move home, you'll know exactly what room they need to be placed into. During the packing process, try not to overfill you boxes - you don't want your boxes being too heavy or falling apart.

Store Important Documents Safely
Another thing to consider before moving home include keeping all your important and personal documents together in one place. This could be for paperwork such as insurance policies, and for passports and any housing documents you may need. These should be kept safely together and should  be placed somewhere you have easy access too and where you will not lose them.

AD - GIFTED | Do you love perfume? Are you constantly buying new fragrances for your collection, or are you looking to try something new and unique?

Many of us have that one signature scent that we go back to time and time again, but sometimes it's a good idea to have some extra ones just as a backup. Owning more than one fragrance in your collection gives you a number of options to use and to reflect your feelings, your mood and the occasions you're wearing the fragrance for. Just think of your fragrance as a final accessory to your outfit, and you can match your scent choice to your outfit vibe.

perfumes

 Choose Your Signature Scent
Many people have that one fragrance that they use over and over again. A signature scent is simply a fragrance that truly reflects and defines you as a person. For me, my go-to signature scent is definitely YSL Black Opium. This scent is so deep and musky, it's definitely a favourite of mine that I have repurchased multiple times. Having a signature scent something about yourself without saying a word, and helps to make a lasting impression. It also helps to reflect your individual style, and allows people to remember you when they smell the same fragrance elsewhere.

Consider Having Day and Night Fragrances/ Special Occasions
Having a selection of different fragrances can be useful, as they can be worn at different times of the day. Daytime fragrances are typically more energising and awakening, using light, fresh and airy notes, and featuring more sweet, fruity, floral and citrus scents. Nighttime fragrances are usually stronger and sexier, using deep, musky and spicy notes.

Special occasions call for special scents. Having a specific scent to remind you of previous important memories is something that is so special. Whether that's a certain holiday or your wedding day for example, having a special fragrance just for these occasions can help us remember the memories from that day.

Change Up Your Scents Seasonally
Like you would change up your fashion style each season, you can also switch up your fragrances to reflect the season ahead. For Spring, you may opt for fragrances packed with fresh, floral notes, as this will reflect the blossoming plants and the crisp, fresh air. Summer is all about sweet and fruity notes. The warmer weather brings a happier, more upbeat atmosphere, so think about fragrances with juicy berries, coconut and sweeter florals. When Autumn arrives, this will then bring the more musky and seductive aromas into your fragrance choices - maybe something warming like amber or sandalwood. And finally, when Winter hits and the colder weather starts, you'll generally opt for something warming and crisp. Mix these with sweet and spicy notes of vanilla, cardamom or cinnamon for that perfect winter scent.

Out of the 12 fragrances included in the Perfume Experience Box, the perfume I gravitated towards the most was the Black Cherry & Oolong Tea - an intense Eau de Parfum scent. This fragrance has a beautiful balance between being sweet, fruity, floral and smoky - a great combination of notes suitable for the Autumn/Winter season. This unisex fragrance is very crisp and fresh, and gives off a very elegant, sophisticated and empowering energy - a great everyday perfume, but also a good option for those who want a new evening or date night scent, with something very fruity, sexy, sensual and musky.

AD| Thinking of buying your first home, but unsure where to start? Buying your first home is probably one of, if not, the most significant purchase you’ll make in your life. It can be an incredibly exciting, yet overwhelming process, especially for those who might not know what to expect from this. 

In addition to this, looking for the right mortgages can sometimes be difficult to navigate and hard to understand - it can be a complicated process and many of us will not understand any of the terminology used - so it's best left for the experts. But if you're looking to start your journey of buying your first home, here are 4 important mortgage tips that you need to consider.

buying first home

Save Your Deposit
Getting the money together for your deposit is probably the hardest part of your home-buying journey. It can take years to save up enough to cover the initial deposit, and even then, you can still be unsure of exactly how much savings you will need. The rough amount of your deposit that will be required for your mortgage is worked out as a percentage of the value of the house that you're looking at buying. The mortgage is then based on the amount that is left, and that is the amount you would be borrowing.

Using a Mortgage Broker
A mortgage broker is an individual who will give guidance on the mortgages currently available to you, based on your own personal finances, and help you to apply for the best one suitable. Using a mortgage broker, such as Mortgage Light, usually makes the process so much clearer and simpler for you. Their job is to find you the best deals. Their expertise means that they will also know what type of mortgage would be best suited for your personal circumstances, meaning you get the product that will work best for you. 

Using a mortgage broker and advisor can save you a lot of money, time and stress. There’s a reason why they exist - the mortgage market is confusing! Mortgage brokers are an extremely helpful service to consider if you want to make sure that your experience of obtaining your mortgage for your first-time home is as simple, stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

Pay Off Any Outstanding Debts
Before you begin to apply for a mortgage for your home, work out your financial budget and aim to reduce any debts you may currently have. Perhaps you've taken out a large loan or need to pay back your credit cards. By setting up regular payments, you are demonstrating to your mortgage lender that you can manage your debts and money carefully and responsibly. By having reduced debts, it might help you in the long run as lenders may potentially allow you to borrow more money for your mortgage. If you're struggling with paying back any money you owe, creating a payment plan or strategy could be useful as this will help you keep on track with your finances.

Check Your Credit Score
As well as keeping your outstanding debt payments in order, it's also important to consider your credit score when applying for your mortgage. The better your credit score, the more likely your application will be successful. However, if your credit score isn’t too good, there are many things you can do to help boost your rating. In a nutshell, make sure to make your payments on time, register to vote, stay within your borrowing limits and even demonstrate good use of credit cards to prove that you are capable of paying money back in a timely manner.

Convinced? I hope so! Particularly if you are a first-time buyer, using a mortgage advisor and broker will be some of the best pennies you’ll spend during your big purchase. Good luck!

AD - GIFTED| Looking to save time on your haircare routine? Want to add a new hairstyling tool to your collection? Why not consider a hair straightening brush!

Hair straightening brushes have been popping up everywhere recently. They are available absolutely everywhere - via online websites, in your local salons and in high-street stores. Probably one of the most recent and newest products in the hairstyling game, and nowadays, many haircare brands have one to offer - I use the Liberex Hair Straightening Brush. A hair straightening brush could become a complete game-changer in your haircare routine - especially for those with thick, coarse, wavy or curly hair. If you're tired of spending ages doing your hair in the morning, it might be time to get your hands on a hair straightening brush asap!

WOMENS HAIRSTYLES

Hair straightening brushes are incredibly useful hair tools and are typical safe to use for all hair types. Whether you have thick, wavy or curly hair, this hair tool can transform your haircare routine. Many hair straightening brushes come with a number of interchangeable brushes - depending on the thickness and texture of your hair, as well as advising you on the best temperature setting to use to ensure it works for your hair type.

Using a hairbrush and a hair straightener at the same time can be extremely tricky and fiddly. Not only are hair straightening brushes a 2 in 1 product that are much easier to use, it's also incredibly time saving on your haircare styling routine. Hair straightening brushes heat up in super quick time and give you brilliant results within minutes of use. In fact, I've found using this hairstyling took less time to style my hair than my hair straighteners, meaning my morning haircare routine took a lot less time and I didn't have to compromise on results.

Many hair straightening brushes are designed to be small and compact, making them incredibly travel-friendly. A perfect haircare tool to take on-the-go, whether you're going away for the weekend or on a week-long holiday, a hair straightening brush could be your best friend. By being a hairbrush and a hair straightening tool, means you can save space in your handbag/luggage, as this multi-use tool is the perfect 2 in 1 accessory.

One of the greatest benefits of using a hair straightening brush is that overall, they can be much less damaging on your hair than your average hair straighteners. Whilst using, the brush glides through the hair so easily, you have no tangling, no snagging and no breakage - you're also not clamping the hair between two hot irons, making it more gentle to use on the hair. You're also more than likely going to be using a lower temperature, allowing you to avoid heat damage and burning any hair.

- Top Tips When Using a Hair Straightening Brush -

●  Make sure to brush hair with a normal brush/comb before using, to make sure hair is knot and tangle free.

●  Always use the brush on dry hair. Never use on extremely wet or damp hair as this can cause heat damage and leave your hair burnt.

●  Use heat protectant before use to keep hair protected. This will help keep your hair soft and prevent any frizz.

●  Straighten your hair in small sections for better results.

The power cord manoeuvres 360°, allowing you to easily operate the hairstyling tool with any hand at any angle, and prevents the wires from getting tangled during use. A great feature of the brush is that it will automatically turn off if not used for 30 minutes, to ensure your safe and protected. As well as this, the glove that comes in the box is extremely useful and allows you to touch/section your hair whilst straightening, without your hand getting burnt.

Liberex Hair Straightening Brush Before ResultsLiberex Hair Straightening Brush After Results

I decided to include a before and after photograph of my hair, so I could see for myself how well the Liberex Hair Straightening Brush performed on my first use of the hair tool. On the left, this is my hair freshly washed and dried using a hair dryer. As you can see, my natural hair is fairly straight with a few wispy and wavy areas, and is slightly frizzy. On the right, this is my hair after using the hair straightening brush. As you can see, there is a significant and noticeable difference in the appearance and condition of my hair. My hair is pretty straight, the frizz has noticeably reduced and overall, my hair is definitely a lot more silky, soft and shiny - just needs a good trim, and it will be in a much more manageable, healthier condition.

From my experience, using the Liberex Hair Straightening Brush was incredibly quick and easy. The brush itself is very durable and glides through the hair with ease. I experienced no snagging, no knots, and I didn't have to keep going over the same section of hair - like you would sometimes with a typical hair straightener. Having a hair tool that brushes and straightens my hair all at once is very handy - especially if you need to get ready in a hurry!

 AD| Are you newly single and looking for love, but unsure where to start? Are you finding it hard to meet the right person after previous dating experiences? Trying to navigate and get your head around the world of dating after past situations can be tricky, especially if you’re anxious and worried about it being "too soon".

It can be quite a nerve-racking experience when you find yourself getting back into dating after a long break. Many circumstances in our daily lives change, and this can have an effect on our future or potential relationships. Maybe you’ve been in a relationship or have been married, but are now single due to a break-up, divorce, or even becoming widowed. All of these outcomes can make our lives feel very uncertain, and ultimately, we can be unsure how and when we will be ready to date again - especially after a long break from relationships and dating. But with enough time, patience and the right dating apps - you could choose Tinder, Bumble, Hinge or even a widow dating site, you'll be on your way to starting your dating journey in no time. Let's take a look at 6 things to consider before getting back into dating after a long break.

DATING

- Focus on self-love and self-care. Before allowing anyone else into your life after you've taken a break from dating, one of the most important things to consider is yourself. You're the one who needs to feel ready to date again, and to welcome new people into your life. After a long break from dating, there's no rush at all, and it's important for you to take each step at your own pace, and make sure you feel comfortable with your dating endeavours. 

- Channel a positive mindset. Positive mindsets and positive thinking are a key factor in getting back into dating. Of course, this isn’t that spark of magic that will make all of your problems disappear, but it can help you get back on a good path. During this time, it's vital to focus on the good things, but also come to terms with any negativity, and try to overcome anything getting in your way. By channelling a more positive mindset, you can give yourself that little confidence boost, as well as improving your overall mood and wellbeing.

- Know what you are looking for and what you want. You might be able to begin your dating journey again by using the best dating website or app for you. There are so many available out there now, for example, Tinder and Bumble, but there are also more specific genres like widow dating, over 50s, religious sites and disabled. After taking some time away from the dating scene, it can be hard to know exactly what you want, what you need or what feels right for you. Having these specific genres of dating sites can help you begin friendships/relationships with other individuals in the same situation as you, and may help you feel more comfortable.

- Don't rush into anything and understand things take time. It’s important to remember to take things at your own pace after having a break from dating. You shouldn't feel pressured to constantly be getting to know new people, arranging dates, or rushing into a new relationship. You will ultimately want things to fall into place and flow naturally, to ensure there are no complications or upsets once you begin dating again.

- Have good communication. Whether you're talking to your friends and family about your feelings, or even your potential new romances, it's important to make sure to share your emotions and feelings. Not only does this help clear your mind, and feel that "weight off your shoulders", you'll generally feel much happier explaining how you feel, and you'll feel more positive about the future.
