For us, International Women's Day is all about supporting and inspiring one another; not only in the world of business but in every day life.  There is no denying that women deserve equal recognition and gender parity but just a mere act of kindness to each other epitomises the message behind IWD.  

Instagram, whether you love it or hate it, has been a great platform to meet, connect and support other women in business.  Those squares are proof of the hugely talented women out there who have grafted, made sacrifices and overcome challenges to be where they are today.  

When you think of February, what comes to mind?  Love and romance? Grey days and freezing temperatures? Our answer probably speaks volumes; but let's not get in to that! February is synonymous with Valentine’s Day. A phenomenon that just keeps on growing.  The pressure to buy something ‘just right’ for your loved one can make the art of gifting a minefield for an old romantic. Judging the price (can the monetary value be translated in to the strength of my love?), the content (staying on the right side of ‘romantic’ that is not too cliché) and, of course, choosing something that they might actually like can make even the bravest run for the hills.
