Everything You Need to Know About Planning a Destination Wedding

A destination wedding completely changes the pace of the day, with intimate ceremonies and champagne in the sun. You create a shared trip that people remember long after. That said, planning from a distance brings its own pressures. You need to think beyond décor and menus and focus on legalities and guest experience. When you make practical choices early, you avoid stress later and give yourself space to enjoy the occasion you’ve planned.

Choosing the Right Destination

A remote island might look idyllic, but long travel times and high costs can limit who attends. If...

7 Foods That Will Calm You

#1 - Avocados

Avocados are healthy for you in many ways, as they are an exceptional source of healthy fat. However, these fruits can also be the key for your calmness. Avocados are known for containing a lot more folate than other fruits, as well as their richness in glutathione, which is a substance with the ability to block intestinal absorption of certain fats that cause oxidative damage. So, the next time you prepare a salad, or a sandwich, be sure to add some avocado!

#2 - Berries

If you consume berries on a regular basis, you will see things much clearer....

Our daily bread - but maybe not tomorrow?

I am not normally alarmist, but increasingly find myself very concerned that our global food systems are under exceptional pressures. We might even say four frightening horse riders stalk our world at this time…

The first is called ‘Global Warming’.

A few months ago ASDA announced that it may not be able to guarantee supply of 95% of the foodstuffs it now sells in twelve months time. Most of the fresh produce sold in their shops is already at risk from climate change. The company’s director for sustainable business suggested that it is imperative that supermarkets start to...

Top 10 Cutest Dog Breeds

#1 Pomeranian

The Pomeranian originates from the Pomeranian region in Northern Poland, and it is also called “the Pom Pom”. This dog breed is small (3.5 kilograms at most), which makes it perfect for people who like to carry their best friend with them all the time. “The Pom Pom” is very popular in the U.S. (we all know the Facebook sensation Boo, who’s a Pomeranian; he’s so cute because his owner grooms him every month at the salon), he doesn’t grow too big, and it’s perfect for those living in tiny flats. The Pomeranian is also extremely easy to train and super...

Thanks sent to a good samaritan

Margaret Cooper, from Woodbury, would like to send her thanks to the good samaritan who came to her aid on Wednesday 7th May.

Margaret and three friends were travelling along the Bishopstainton Road in Teignmouth when their car broke down.

A young woman with blonde hair, who mentioned she was on her way to university, stopped to help the ladies, even waiting with them until the RAC had been contacted.

Margaret described the woman as her 'knight in shining armour' and said she was saddened to have not taken her name.

If you are the good samaritan that helped...

The 6 Most Fun Ways to Get Fit

#6 - Get a Dog

Would you be happy to sit on your couch watching Netflix for days on end? Is your idea of getting fresh air opening the window in your car? Getting a dog will change all that. Provided you are properly set up to look after a cute canine, dogs are a great way to get more exercise while still having a lot of fun. Most dogs need to be walked at least twice a day, and they don’t really mind where. Also, nothing will get you out of the house faster than adorable puppy eyes staring at you! If you’re looking for some fun and companionship as well as a guarantee of getting...

Do you know my Knight(s) in shining armour?

Today three men came to my aid after my Ford KA skidded across an Exeter dual carriageway.

I had just passed Sandy Park and Tescos when my car came into difficulties, leaving me facing oncoming traffic.

A white van man and two passers by came to my aid, ensuring I was ok and my car was moved safely out of the road.

The first man that stopped to help even made sure I would be ok until help arrived.

I was so shaken I did not get chance to properly thank these men. If your husband/boyfriend/son came home today and told you a story about helping a young woman,...

6 Ways You Know Your Relationship is Over

#1 – You Want Different Things

Everybody wants different things out of life. A lot of relationships come to a natural end when two people realise they are at a crossroads – and moving in totally separate directions. Is your partner about to leave for a job or university course hundreds of miles away? Do they want children when you don’t? The pain comes when you try to pretend the crossroads isn’t there. Sometimes you have to make a hard decision about your relationship. People grow apart, and that’s okay.

#2 – You Don’t Talk

Communication is the foundation of a...

6 Relationship Myths That Need Busting

Myth #1 – They Have the Same Interests

Even though sharing some interests can be fantastic, most relationships flourish only when there is some activity that you enjoy, which your partner might not. Spending time apart is almost as important as spending time together, for a thriving relationship. Having separate interests could also allow you and your partner to teach each other new and interesting things. If you feel that you have nothing in common with your companion, you should consider doing something together on a regular basis, such as a weekly trip to a museum or a cooking...

Top Ten Saddest Movie Endings of All Time

#1 -Philadelphia

This Oscar-winning 1993 movie stars Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, and Antonio Banderas. Directed by Jonathan Demme, it tells the tale of Andrew Beckett’s (Hanks) legal battle against the company that fired him for being gay and having AIDS. Of course, a movie about AIDS in the early 90’s was unlikely to have a happy ending. After Beckett finally succumbs to his condition, the movie ends with the uplifting and devastating footage of his funeral, full of family and friends celebrating his life. As the camera slowly pans into home videos of Beckett as a child playing...
