Not only do you get access to the current 'live' sales you can preview upcoming sales so you know when to be at your computer if there's an item you have to have and it includes the price which I like, there's nothing worse than seeing an item you are yearning for and then discovering the price isn't what you'd hoped it to be!

I have shopped with Cocosa a few times & their service is excellent, I mainly buy jewellery as it's always got great discount and so is totally affordable so an easy treat for yourself to spice up a simple outfit. If you're looking for an investment piece it's also excellent because you get it at a cheaper price than you were willing to pay for in the first place, so you're technically saving money by purchasing said item (girly maths at it's finest!). Unlike other discount retailers the stock is selected by a team of buyers so everything is on trend and nothing is out of season so you don't have to wait to wear it.

Hey Ladies,

Well we're supposed to be in the summer months now (someone forgot to tell the weather) so I thought I'd share with you the summer trends that are going to take you through to the Autumn that are accessible from sizes 10 through to size 28 from Simply Be.

Such a great trend to wear for the summer, the ultimate statement to grab all the attention & is completely effortless.  I love this striped piece, it calls itself a top but if you have a good pair of pins & a tan this would be a lovely dress when you're on holiday, I personally would pair it with some black leggings,  a pair of sandals and a black leather belt & jacket perfect for casual days with friends or the kids.

The 70's are officially back this summer and these trousers are everywhere, they are so stylish & flattering for women who's problem area is their legs, pair it with a simple white tank top & long gold necklace, curly hair & you're ready to party.

I love patterns in fashion, they can add such life and colour to a simple piece and make them instantly  fun and young. This dress is gorgeous with the pineapple print, a great length to flatter most ages and sizes as well as the tops of the arms covered which I don't like showing off. It would be a great dress for the office as well as a meal with the other half with a few added accessories.

I think Simply Be do some really great Trendy Dresses and in such a great size range, I didn't realise they had started selling smaller sized dresses which makes it more accessible for all sizes. Totally love this & this they would be amazing for a holiday if I was going on one! Plus if you're a new customer you get 20% off (using the code 3505) plus free shipping & returns, I could spend a fortune!

Hey Ladies,

Ever feel like friends are live savers? Well studies have shown that being close to people have health benefits including healthier hearts (added red wine?) , lower risk of cancer (feeling each others boobies whilst drunk, no? just me & my friends then!) and better mental health (completely can confirm the last one myself, friend save us from mental break downs in the office, in the pub, in the kitchen all the time) The reasons for this is thought to be that lonely people are more likely to smoke and drink to deal with problems, and they miss out on boost we all get from friends when we've had a fake tan disaster or hair cut horror which can lead to lack of exercise and unhealthy eating as well as added stress from not having anybody to let out their worries to which causes premature ageing as well. Are you sat there appreciating your friends even more than before?


NIVEA commissioned research by psychologist Professor Geoff Beattie to measure the closeness of today and the results showed that we're closer than ever to our friends and families. So with all they do for us in mind, NIVEA are encouraging us all to value our relationships so asking you all to take part in their A million moments of closeness campaign, you just have to upload photos of you with your nearest & dearest to their Facebook page or catch their road show throughout the UK where you can hop into a photo booth & have your picture uploaded instantly and everyday Professor Beattie will choose a 'picture of the day' & the winner will receive one of 100 prizes worth £100. If you do catch the roadshow you can pick up free NIVEA goodies so worth popping down for if it's near you.


There's also a Feel Closer debate on their Facebook page all about closeness in the 21st century, questions like is friendship the best anti-depressant going? Can a text ever be as rewarding as a face-to-face chat? What about long distance relationships, is physicall proximity essential essential for true closeness?


Personally I couldn't be without my friends and family, my family are incredibly loving no matter what and all in each others lives all the time as for friendships I don't think you have to constantly surround yourselves with people, a select few is enough for me and I know I can call upon them whenever I need for a chat or support and they know that they can do the same when it comes to me, todays technology could render physical relationships non existent but for me they are a bridge to keep us close when geography and time aren't our friend.
Don't you just want to give your loved ones a cuddle now you know they are so important to your health & sanity? (if you didn't already know)
