How lockdown and the pandemic has affected relationships
Collaborative Post¦ It’s odd to think that this time last year, we were just starting to realise that the Coronavirus pandemic wasn’t going to be over quickly. With many of us furloughed or working from home, we had been under the same roof as our partners for far longer than we had ever been before. I certainly never thought I’d spend such a huge amount of time with my husband until we were pensioners! Of course, this has gone on for far longer now and has affected people’s relationships in many ways. For some, it has strengthened bonds, while others have been tearing their hair out and even filed for divorce. Others have managed to find love in the Covid-19 pandemic, despite the odds being against them.
Secrets to a happy relationship
Collaborative Post¦ Sometimes, we see a couple and just know that they are destined to be together. They fit together like perfect puzzle pieces, and they make relationships look like a breeze. A perfect relationship is what many of us aspire to have; however, there’s no recipe for a perfect relationship, and sometimes, they can be hard work.
Unexpected things happen that can quickly strain a relationship and add unwanted pressures. Often, these pressures can be hard to manage, and relationships can break down. Thankfully, there are some ways to manage the hardships and get through them.
Pandemic Ponderings: My Ex-boyfriends
You know when you’re laying in bed and instead of deciding to just sleep, your brain decides to think about all sorts of things? Things you could have done differently, things you should have said, people you shouldn’t have given the time of day to? Well, the last year has kind of been like one whole session of that for me. I guess being on furlough due to the pandemic, being too pregnant to move and getting trapped underneath a sleeping baby has given me far more time to ponder than usual.

Romantic Ideas For Couples Who Don’t Want A Public Engagement
Collaborative Post¦ The pandemic has completely transformed our approach to life milestones. In a world where it’s now okay to invite guests to your wedding on Zoom or to have a birthday party online, it’s fair to wonder what the best post-pandemic proposal looks like.
Most couples in the UK are shy about public proposals. It doesn’t matter how much you love your partner; there’s a slight sense of embarrassment when they kneel in front of you inside a crowded restaurant.
“Darling, what are you doing? Sit back on your chair! People are watching us.”
With this in mind, it’s safe to say that British couples do not regret the temporary loss of public proposals. However, it’s becoming easier and more acceptable to plan to pop the question at home. Besides, you could make things just as romantic for you and your loved ones with these simple tricks.

How to decorate with neon signs
Collaborative Post¦ Neon signs have been around for many years. However, in more recent years, they have become somewhat trendy when it comes to interior design. They can make a room feel modern, futuristic, and nostalgic all at the same time. How neat is that? Not only do they make for a great feature, but neon signs don’t have to cost an arm and a leg either, which just adds to their popularity.
Traditionally, neon signs were used to draw attention to a specific brand or product. However, many of the neon signs we see in interiors nowadays can be customised to a specific décor. Neon signs can fit into any room and often look great, but it’s important to consider what the sign is actually going to say. There are some instances where homeowners aren’t bothered by a particular phrase or whatnot and would rather have a neon sign designed into a particular shape instead. Whatever the choice, here are a few tips when it comes to decorating with neon signs.
The mum guilt of having a second child in a pandemic
The 4th trimester is a time of adjustment for both mum and baby. Particularly in the earliest days and weeks after Reuben’s arrival, sleep deprivation set in and hormones were flying all over the place.
