Cheap way to fix shorts that ride up
Few things can disrupt a pleasant day out like the nagging discomfort of shorts that ride up. Whether you’re strolling through a park, playing a sport, or simply running errands, this all-too-common wardrobe malfunction can turn an otherwise comfortable outfit into a source of constant irritation and awkwardness.
I bought some lovely swim shorts and hate wearing them because of this issue. They cost over £40 so I don’t want to just never wear them again. Fortunately, a simple and cost-effective solution is readily available.

Embracing backstreet hairdressers: forget stereotypes for budget-friendly styles
Upscale salons and high-profile stylists dominate the hairdressing scene, so the idea of visiting a backstreet hairdresser might raise eyebrows for some. However, I decided over two years ago to challenge the snobbish stereotype associated with these less prominent establishments and explore whether I might be missing out on hidden gems, all while considering the budget-friendly aspect.
Backstreet hairdressers often operate away from the glitz and glamour of busy main streets or commercial districts. While some may associate such locations with subpar services, it’s essential to recognise that many skilled and passionate hairstylists choose to work in these less conventional settings.
My initial reservations were rooted in snobbish attitudes towards backstreet hairdressers, often stemming from misconceptions about the quality of service, cleanliness, or professionalism. However, as I ventured beyond preconceived notions, I began to acknowledge …
