It’s understood – there’s no second chance to make an initial impression. Of course, it’s a lot of pressure to meet another person for the first time, especially if it’s during a blind date or someone you find attractive. Be less worried and more confident that you can make a fantastic first impression. Here’s what to do.

Prepare Talking Points

It’s uncommon for two strangers to meet and have an endless stream of conversation points. Rather than wait for those awkward pauses, be prepared with things to say. Even better, research the interests and hobbies of the other person ahead of time so you can ask questions. Be aware, however, of talking too much about yourself.

With summer right around the corner and the weather turning for the better, there has never been a better time to start to plan for your first garden party of the year. The grass is fresh, the flowers are bursting into life and you know it will be a dry weekend, so what are you waiting for?

If you want to make the most of your weekend party, here’s our tips for success.

Here are four things you can do that won’t make your pocket any lighter but would still give you memories to cherish:

Regardless of how you feel about it Valentine’s Day. You can choose to be a grouch about it or to join the rest of humanity and celebrate love. The world was as red as people expressed their love for the people they care for. The best way to spoil your loved ones on Valentine’s Day is the same as on every other day. By giving them something that they want, not what you want. But on this day you cannot fail to go the extra mile. Especially when the intended recipient is more feminine than male. The bigger the gift the greater the expression of love.

For the majority of us in the UK, when we get cold we simply flick a switch and the heating comes on. We pay the gas bills and it keeps flowing via underground pipes into our houses and we never need to give it a second thought.

Let’s get truthful, we all love our comfort zones. We can laze around, stretch ourselves a bit, yawn and be bored in our little bubbles, and we all love it.

The only downside that really costs you when you want to start a family, or add to one, is the inevitable decision of upsizing where you live. Gone are the days where kids will happily accept sharing a bedroom with more than one sibling and no matter how hard you try, you can’t fit a triple bunk bed in a room (probably good for safety reasons anyway).
