I SPY MY EVIL EYE…a brand new online shop that I’ve just launched!! I am SO excited to announce that I’ve created my very first ONLINE SHOP selling an edit of handpicked unique evil-eye pieces from jewellery to accessories. This is something that I’ve been wanting to do for years.…
Hello all. I really hope that everyone is safe and well during this unpredictable time. Myself and my family have hunkered down and our days are a mix of (attempted) homeschooling, work and play (yelling and frustration too!). I imagine that many of us had lots of plans over the…
Hello….? Is there anyone still out there…? I haven’t written a blog post in such a long time that I’m pretty certain that most of the lovely peeps who used to read my content have gone on to far better and brighter blogs. However, if there is anyone still out…

Founded in 1996 in Athens by pharmacist Georgios Korres, the company create naturally based and partly homeopathic beauty products. I’ve started using a lot of their line in recent months…
I have invested a great deal of time AND money in my blog and social media presence since I first set up my original website in 2012. It definitely hasn’t come cheap, and eats into my life as well as my purse. Aside from the creative gains, for most people there…

Wedding season is upon us and for those of you who might be thinking about holding your big day abroad – specifically in Greece! – then The Greek Wives Club has found the perfect wedding planning company for you in the form of Lefkas Weddings.
