Kath Kidston
Queen of florals Cath Kidston, whose trademark rose, polka dot andcowboy prints grace the covers of ironing boards, aprons, tea towels andtents, is as cheery as the hugely successful brand she created. Talking to her is like a breath of fresh air. As she sits nursing aKidston ‘cut roses’ mug of tea and discusses her life and work – asfeatured in her new book Coming Up Roses: The Story Of Growing ABusiness – it’s clear her cup is always half full. It’s not surprising, considering Kidston, 54, is reputedly worth anestimated £25 million, with more than 100 eponymous shops andconcessions worldwide.

Make a Grand Entrance
You’re not alone if you walk into your home and your spirits wilt as you’re greeted by a jumble of coats, shoes and bags, as the hallway is generally the most neglected area in the home. WONDER WALLS A hallway is usually such a small area in a home that you can let loose and try a bold pattern paper or a colour you might be too inhibited to use in a main living area. “Painting walls a bright or darker shade half-way up a wall, dividing with a dado rail if desired, and then using a lighter shade for the upper half of the wall which reaches the ceiling will make a hallway…
FREE Tattoo Removal
Evenlines launches the ‘Medical grade state of the art Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system Lynton Lumina(R) the new system use an active Q- switched laser that generates a high-powered beam of laser light that is fired onto the tattoo in an extremely short pulse. The laser light is absorbed by the tattoo ink particles and not the surrounding skin. The laser breaks down the tattoo particles so that the normal body defences are able to absorb and disperse the ink. This happens after every treatment, resulting in a gradual fading of the tattoo. Blue/black, red/orange tattoo colours can be treated successfully. The laser pulse is very short, most clients describe the sensation as…

The Photographer
My love of photography first started 10 years ago whilst on gap year to Australia, there were so many awesome sights that I felt I had to photograph as words alone could not describe them. 3 years later, whilst teaching in Tanzania, I bought myself a decent digital camera and decided to try and capture the trip as I saw it. The images I got from these trips really inspired and helped develop my passion for photography! Now based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, I have been working as a wedding photographer, portrait photographer, and commercial photographer for the last 3 years and thoroughly enjoy it. I am an affiliate member of the British Institute of Professional…
