Why use a Himalayan salt lamp in your home


Salt lamps are lamps made of salt and they look stunning when lit. The colour of the salt is usually pink, grey, and white colour. When lit the light will travel through the salt to create a beautiful glow. People often feel more relaxed in the presence of a salt lamp.

Using a salt lamp is a great way of cleaning the air in your home, the salt attracts moisture and people will often find water on the salt or around the base. People believe that salt lamps create negative ions that react with dust, pollen, and dirt in the air. Many people with asthma or lung problems will use these lamps in their homes.

As these lamps are not too bright they make the perfect nightlight, it can help people sleep and feel more relaxed. These are also perfect if you have a toddler in the house and you are looking for a lamp that has a gentle glow.

How they are made


Salt lamps are mined in the Himalayan mountains in Pakistan. The salt is stored underground. The salt is extracted from the ground, the workers carefully hand-carved the salt and hollow the inside of the salt. These chunks of salt are usually exported and a lighting fixture is added later on.

Salt lamps can come in all different styles and shapes, you can purchase a salt lamps as a shape of a heart, flower, leaf, and much more. As each salt lamp is handcrafted each lamp will be one of a kind.

Using a salt lamp in the office


There are salt lamps that have a USB connection than can be easily plugged into your computer or laptop. Having these lamps on your desk will help reduce stress levels and bring a calm feel into your space. You can also purchase a salt lamp that changes colour which is mesmerising to watch.

Different sizes


Salt lamps are measured by its weight, the smallest lamp is usually around 1 Kg, and the largest lamp goes up to 50 Kg. The smallest lamp is perfect on the mantelpiece or on a table while the 50kg salt lamp is a more of a free-standing lamp and it is huge. Having a salt lamp in your home would make a lovely ornamental feature in your home.

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice.

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
