A perfect selection for a Christmas Hamper with Cia Gusto…
Christmas gifts can be a bit of a tricky one, finding the perfect item for each person, shopping, wrapping, keeping secrets. It’s all fun but can be a bit stressful. To be honest, this year I have had NO IDEA what to buy the Husband. He’s pretty much got everything he wants or needs, he […]

Wrap your lunch differently and a giveaway…
I pack a lot of lunches in my house. Every day, we have a lunch box for each child, one for the Husband, and I try to include myself as well, to make sure I get lunch, rather than buying. We generally use tinfoil or clingwrap, to wrap sandwiches or other items to put in […]

Can you survive without the supermarket? Take a Supermarket Siesta?
So a month ago, I wrote about taking a break from supermarket shopping. It’s not exactly my favorite pastime, so when the lovely team at Supermarket Siesta said “see if you can manage without it”, I thought it might be something I would like to try. I think if you live in a city or […]
