Greetings Followers! It has been quite sometime since I have engaged on this forum, for which I am deeply apologetic. I have found myself "caught up" with consultancies and my son, that sitting in front of the laptop outside of work proved itself challenging--almost disruptive to the little bit of escapism that I could afford myself.

SEASONS GREETINGS EVERYONE! It has been way too long since my last post, and I promise not to leave it for this long in the future. Of course, work and child-rearing has seen me too busy to concentrate on the blog, which is also why this year's Christmas guide is TEN days late. However, I hope not too late. This year, I decided...
Being environmentally friendly is fashionable in itself. We want to be turning heads for all the right reasons – Victoria Jones, founder of S A Y A Designs.
