3 Steps to Wearing Contact Lenses!

Sponsored Post¦ Have you thought about wearing contact lenses? Whether you just want a glasses free look, or you need to be glasses free for sport, there are lots of practical reasons for wearing them.

Review: Dinner at Côte Brasserie, Maidstone

On winter nights like these, there’s often nothing I want to do more than sit somewhere cosy and eat some delicious, comforting food. I was recently invited to Côte Brasserie in Maidstone and asked my husband to come with me for a rare child-free evening out (thanks Mum and Dad!)

Fortunately, given the heels I’d chosen, it was only a 5 minute walk from the three nearest car parks. Stepping inside, I was excited to see what Côte Brasserie would be like as I’d never been to any of the restaurants in the chain before.
