As much as I love the online world, there’s something special about curling up with good old-fashioned printed pages, poring over words and pictures and breathing in the strangely comforting smell of paper and ink. It’s a little escape from the madness of day-to-day life – something to be savoured when time allows. I’m not alone, either: independent magazines are flourishing, and now another . . .
Giveaway | Hobo Soy Candles
I’ll be honest: I have a bit of an addiction to scented candles. I have them dotted all over the house, and barely an evening goes by without me lighting a few here and there.
