Blues and loos

No guests on the show next weekend – more by accident than design – but that just means June and Rosalyn will have plenty of time to catch up and explore a few interesting topics.

For example, did you know that according to an on-going global survey over 200,000 people have voted for blue as their favourite colour?

That until the middle of the 19th century, almost all public loos were designed for men?

Or that research has recently shown the 1880s to be the happiest time by far in British history? Mind you, it’s not quite clear whether the introduction of the first public loos for ladies played any part in that surge in happiness…

Tune in to 107.8FM or listen online between 10am and 12 noon next Sunday to find out more about these quirky facts from the Girls Around Town.

And don’t forget, you can always have your say on any of them on their Facebook page, Twitter feed or on Instagram.

Grin and wear it!

We’ve all heard the saying ‘a picture paints a thousand words’ but what is the ‘picture’ you present of yourself saying about you?

Whether you’re dressing for work or getting ready to party, are you leaving home feeling great – or are you just not sure you’ve got it right?

With a corporate background as a matrimonial solicitor herself, personal stylist Hayley Eleanor Smith is passionate about helping busy working women solve their clothing and wardrobe dilemmas. And she’ll be joining the Girls Around Town next weekend to explain how developing your own style and image makes it easy to go to your wardrobe and put together the perfect outfit for every occasion.

“We’re all busy with work, family and other commitments – there’s enough stress in life without worrying about what to wear as well!” says Hayley. “Some women always seem to know what suits them and looks good. But others need a little help and guidance, to learn how to make the most of their natural attributes by putting together outfits that are comfortable, contemporary and functional for everyday life.”

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon next Sunday when she gives June and Sue an insight into the difference that identifying your personal style and understanding what works for you – and what doesn’t! – can make to that picture you present.

If you want to put an end to those ‘wardrobe wobbles’, to feel confident you’re getting it right, you’ll want to hear what Hayley has to say…
