Here in the UK we have had some snow, whilst I appreciate our friends in places like Canada or Sweden will think this is no big deal, any of you from the UK will know it is a major deal!

When the UK has a bit of snow, or even the threat of a bit of snow, it goes crazy! People panic about a simple journey to work, people become crazed maniacs in the Supermarkets fighting for bread and milk and people seem to be unable to talk about anything else!

According to weather forecasters there is a potential ‘blizzard’ to hit parts of the UK this evening and people have already started to become manic!

So in an effort to calm down the mania, if we do get the 30cms of snow that have been predicted overnight, here are my top five things to do to keep you calm and smiling on a snow day.

Almost every Summer you can see the fashion industry giving a nod to the fabulous nautical look but, for Summer 2012 the nautical look is huge and I wanted to prove that you do not need to spend a fortune to show that you are right on trend.

So where do you sit on the whole Valentine’s day thing? Are you the kind of person that covers the house in red balloons, buys a card the size of a peugeot 106 and has a monster strop if anything less than a dozen roses and 6 cards are delivered on the 14th? Or are you the Valentine’s day equivalent to Scrooge?
