Keeping the Spiders OUT.

I wouldn’t say that I have a ‘life-threatening'fear of spiders, but I certainly don’t like having them around, especially in my own living space. It is for this reason that I decided to carry out a little online research… ‘Surely there is something to prevent the little blighters from getting inside in the first place'I thought. And that is how my cyber-fuelled quest began!

Conkers!

(No, I’m not hurling insults around)

Apparently these are supposed to be THE answer More

Reducing Under Eye Wrinkles

My coworker recently pointed out that I had under eye wrinkles when I was working with it support services London. It was a bit unexpected and as you can imagine I took it to heart and went in search of a solution.

What I found out is that most women’s problem on under eye wrinkles are the result of aging, allergy and genes. When you are tired, lack sleep or dehydrated, the wrinkles become more visible and you look More

Satisfy your sweet tooth

It’s an energetic job being a yacht concierge, and we all have to find ways to keep up our energy. Some of my colleagues are complete caffeine addicts, others rely on energy-releasing protein bars and a lunchtime jog; I prefer the good old sugar hit! Of course, it just wears off after an hour or so, but it tastes much better than coffee and doesn’t get you as sweaty as a sprint round the block.
I used to get my daily sugar hit from chocolate bars, but I’ve diversified in recent weeks to cupcakes. Yeah, cupcakes are maybe a bit girly for a tough manual labourer like me, but they taste so delicious and some of them are just so pretty… Actually, you can get some specifically man-themed cupcakes, complete with blue icing and no flowers or glitter in sight, and they still taste just as good as the girly ones.
My favourite has to be the Hummingbird Bakery in Portobello Road. It’s totally out of my way, but I usually try and make a special trip to buy a week’s worth. And then eat them in a night. My girlfriend is very concerned that I may be turning into a hormonal woman with my craving for sweet goodies, but these cupcakes just have to be tasted to be believed!
What’s worse is that a new bakery is opening up just over the road from our flat. I’ve already noticed a few extra pounds when I pull on my jeans so a cupcake store on my doorstep could see me slipping well and truly into middle age obesity. Time to join my colleague on that lunchtime run, I think!
