Great Gift Ideas For Guys From Trendhim : Mechanical Movement Cufflinks

by RachelSwirl August 9, 2021

Accessories needn’t be worn for special occasions only, nor should they be reserved for a specific group or type of person. How you choose to dress should never be about trying to look good, but should be about expressing your true self through the art of fashion. Fashion, jewellery, and accessories are a super and very simple way in which both men and women are able to express what makes them their own person, whether it be a significant piece such as a ring or a necklace, or an alternative item such as a tie or cufflinks.

Life Phases & Crazes

by RachelSwirl February 23, 2020

Is it just me or does there come certain points in your life when everyone around you seems to be following some sort of craze, phase or doing one particular thing? I’m not sure whether it’s that the things that you yourself desire suddenly become more noticeable, or whether there genuinely are phases and times of life when everyone seems to be following suit. Come to think of it, I guess it’s not all about desire as I myself wouldn’t contemplate running for love nor money, it doesn’t interest me in the slightest yet it seems to be a current …

Complete the front of the house by replacing the windows in the office. To find and book a summer holiday for …

So without further ado, here is a quick list of some of the many things which we have done throughout the past year. Updating The Living Room We began the year by updating the living room furniture.

#MySundayPhoto – Winter Walks At Sunrise

by RachelSwirl December 16, 2018

It’s not often that I see sunrise, if ever at all to be honest. I’m certainly no early bird, I for one would never catch any worm, not that I’d ever want to either for that matter. My husband on the other hand seems to enjoy waking early, he is from farming stock and can handle the early mornings, he therefore takes the dog on her morning stroll before I’ve even contemplated dividing myself from the duvet. Heres a snapshot he captured the other week whilst out on his usual ponder with the pooch. This picture simply doesn’t do justice …
