Happy Father's Day!

What are the perfect pressies for the world's best dad?

BISCUITS!

It's Father's Day tomorrow! Don't forget Dad!.Thanks for getting rid of those spiders, thanks for being our personal taxi service, thanks for the DIY help. 

My dad likes food and gardening so of course I got him these crumbly goodies:

These delicious hand-iced biscuits are a great gift for any hardworking daddy. So why not give these sweet treats as well earned break and when the biscuits are all gone, they can store their seeds in the tin! Never has producing perfect carrots and delicious tomatoes been so easy.

Biscuiteers has an excellent range for every type of dad.

Like the Superhero dad

Breakfast dad

And the The Jolly dad

All biscuits come beautifully packaged so you can nab the tin and reuse them.

The hardest part, was not eating them myself.

It's nearly Spring! Can you believe it?! It seems that time just flies by. This means that race season is fasting approaching us. Like the flowers of Spring, we're going to start making appearances out of our buds, starting with the Cheltenham Races.

I’m loving their #ColourMeMarch campaign; encouraging ladies to share their outfit inspiration.
But what do YOU wear?!

Don't fear, I have a few crackers for you.

Look One: Racey Red

The one to set those hearts racing. Let the black accessories set your dress on fire!

Because of its visibility, stop signs, stoplights, brake lights, and fire equipment are all painted red.

The ancient Egyptians considered themselves a red race and painted their bodies with red dye for emphasis.

In Russia, red means beautiful. The Bolsheviks used a red flag as their symbol when they overthrew the tsar in 1917. That is how red became the color of communism.
