Behind the Food
We have a quickfire 10 minute interview with Vicki Idowu, she is a 23 year who runs her own food business called Bespoke Bites.

Birthday Strategy
Gone are the days of a Barbie doll, jelly and ice cream and a game of musical chairs. Birthday parties are an Olympic sport in their own right and really, whoever plans them deserves a medal.

Being a mum can be boring
Yesterday the papers picked up on a series of tweets by Lily Cooper better known as Lily Allen. Basically Lily was bored of being at home and tweeted that she was a little frustrated about the mundane tasks that come with motherhood.
