Thought I would be ahead of the game this year, and recommend some stunning party outfits if you are looking to celebrate over the festive season. We are all at various stages of our lives, and may decide stay at home and celebrate with our children or grandkids, or have invitations from friends or colleagues. Hopefully you will find ideas for most occasions.
Quiz has a delightful Berry velvet bardot knot front fishtail maxi dress at only £39.99 – see on our front page. This is very flattering for us curvy types, and easy to wear as well as being utterly glamorous.
Coast has produced a forest green ‘monroe’ lurex maxi dress which is well worth the £179.00 because this style and colour never dates. In fact I remember window shopping as a kid, and dreaming about a green evening dress I had spotted in the window of Debenhams whilst shopping with my Mum. I was far too young to wear it, but I am tempted to do so now as it is rather special and will suit a number of events I have coming up.
Girls on Film have produced a sassy red bibi tiered shift dress for only £42. If you want to go shorter this season, this could be the one for you, especially if you are hoping to make an impact, and are thinking ‘outside the box’.
Reiss Sandie Long Sleeve Drop Waist Dress in black, is a smart but comfortable dress, immensely flattering and covers up the arms if you are like me and prefer to do so. This is definitely one that will come out season after season so well worth the investment at £195.
Hush Glitter Easy Dress in Metallic gold which is exclusive to John Lewis and Hush, is really as it says on the tin, an easy dress and very stylish and flattering. Especially if you are entertaining at home and don’t want any restrictions in the kitchen. Only £59.

Due to increasing numbers of people finding themselves alone in their 50s, 60s and beyond, the ‘mature dating’ industry is booming. However, many singles are under the false impression that they have just two choices: create an online dating profile…or resign themselves to a partner-less future.
The fast and ruthless world of internet-love just doesn’t suit everyone… particularly those who value their personal privacy and safety. Likewise, few people genuinely want to be alone.
Thank goodness, then, for traditional dating agencies like The County Register who have survived the internet dating explosion and continue to thrive. The County Register offers a bespoke matchmaking service for the more discerning dater. As Mike Parker, director, explains: “People join our personal matchmaking agency for many reasons but, primarily, it’s the need for anonymity, a lack of time and opportunity, sensitivity over entering – or re-entering – the dating scene, as well as the more specialised search that we offer compared with other agencies. It’s important to us that we have happy clients and will therefore do everything we can, to make sure our clients really do, at the very least, have a happy experience. We are possibly the best matchmakers in the UK today and have a reputation in the industry for integrity and honesty. We will be honest with you. Come and meet us without obligation, then go away and think about it. Safety is first and foremost in our minds for both men and women. The word ‘County’ means nothing more than the fact that we cover the entire UK and beyond.”
Founded by Heather Heber-Percy, who set up a small agency in the early 1980s, The County Register very much still has the feel of a family run business. Heather’s many years in the business have given her tremendous insights into human relationships. She uses these, together with her sympathetic interviewing skills, to gain a clear understanding of her clients’ needs and thus match them with suitable partners.
Traditional dating agencies, like The County Register, offer a real alternative to mature men and women looking for love away from the unpredictable world of online dating.

They say that every successful creative enterprise is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration, which brings me to the ingenious invention of Nibble Protein Bites, by its founder Erin Moroney.
I say this because Erin is a true creative, having successfully run and co-owned a photographic business for more than 12 years, and was also an agency Art Director and Producer, so nothing to do with food – but she knew there was something wrong when she was constantly tired with low blood sugar, and her nails and hair suffering in the process.
As an avid vegetarian Erin felt she was doing everything right, but when she was told by her nutritionist that she was ‘protein deficient’, and as she was about to run a marathon, she knew it was time to take action for herself, her family and ultimately the rest of the world.
She had previously spent weeks trolling the supermarkets and health food outlets, and discovered there was a serious crack in the market for protein rich snacks.
Erin knew absolutely nothing about creating a food product, let alone launching it onto the competitive market place, but through sheer determination, serious research and her own creativity and passion, she now has her own Brand, which can be purchased in a number of leading outlets, including Harvey Nichols, Harrods, Ocado, to name but a few.
As Erin says ‘We use the finest natural ingredients including antioxidant-rich dried plum purée and a blend of toasted pumpkin/sunflower seeds and crunchy protein crisps (TELL ME MORE. .. ). The bites are super nutritious, with less sugar and more yummy flavours. Perfect for healthy eating on the go.’
Erin has now been nominated for the prestigious Catherine Awards from the Variety Club of Great Britain.

BEFORE WE SIGN OFF – WE HAVE TO MENTION THE BROWNIES
Made with lots of love for Austin & Julie x
Well, this is a slightly different story! Nibble Brownie Bites were inspired by Erin’s 12 year-old American niece, Julianna. Julie is a notoriously fussy eater who rarely ate any protein (but loved brownies). To help boost her niece’s protein intake (and lower her sugar consumption!), Erin set out on a mission to develop a brownie recipe that passed the Julie-test (ie. it couldn’t look too healthy otherwise she wouldn’t even try it!). Erin’s older nephew, Austin, is a chocoholic (and already a Nibble Protein addict) so he’d love these too. Roughly based on the original recipe, these bites would only include “brownie-stuff” (no seeds or healthy looking bits)—with some sneaky protein snuck in. The brownies proved so popular, they sparked a whole range (with a note to Austin & Julie on the back of every pack)!
And in total contrast to the first range, the brownies came together very quickly (most of the painful points had already been worked out!). You’d never know these little bad boys were 20% dried plum purée (and 18% plant protein).
