From her girl squad to the Swifties to the world at large, Taylor's the BFF of the pop music world.

Sparkling with positivity and feel-good vibes, Taylor is always there to give you the best advice and lift you up when you're down - she's your own personal cheerleader.

Swift has so far won a whopping 14 Grammys, smashing several records for the most wins as artist and as female artist. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it.

I would wash every night, and as soon as I go to bed, the kids would wet on me and I'd have to get up in the morning and do the same thing ... That was the only warm thing we knew in the winter time.

Revealing a world of secret messages contained within a single petal.
Floriography - the language of flowers - is the ancient art of encoding hidden messages in the type, colour and arrangement of plants, allowing individuals to express emotions and sentiments that they may not be able to articulate through words. Featuring 100 of the most popular and available blooms from around the world, this beautifully illustrated gift book gives the botanical name for each plant, a description of its significance and place in folklore, and the story behind its meaning. It also reveals how floral symbolism has been used over the centuries in literature and art, from Hamlet's Ophelia handing out rosemary 'for remembrance' and pansies 'for thoughts', to Oscar Wilde urging his friends to wear green carnations as a subtle code for homosexuality. The idea that flowers have secret meanings would have been well understood by contemporary audiences - and we are seeing a revival of the practice today. From mimosa - which signifies chastity because its leaves close when touched - to the varied messages encoded within different colours of geraniums, Floriography offers a creative way to convey feelings and can add an extra layer of beauty and significance to a gift of flowers. The flowers in Kate Middleton's wedding bouquet signified love, happiness, gallantry and fidelity. If someone sends you a bouquet of hydrangea and lobelia, beware: they stand for heartlessness and malevolence.

May your troubles be less and your blessings be more.
The history of Irish blessings can be traced back to the early Celtic culture of Ireland, a culture rich in oral tradition and storytelling, and blessings and expressions of good wishes, kindness and positivity were a common part of daily life. These blessings were passed down from generation to generation, preserving the spiritual heritage of the Irish people. Over time, they became an integral part of the Irish cultural identity, and they were brought to other parts of the world by Irish immigrants. Today, Irish blessings continue to be a popular part of the cultural heritage of Ireland and to those with Irish ancestors who travelled and settled overseas and are used in a wide range of contexts, from religious services and weddings to everyday greetings and expressions of good wishes. Filled with heart-warming words of hope and comfort, The Little Book of Irish Blessings is the perfect companion or gift for anyone seeking a touch of Irish magic in their life. May you always have a rainbow of hope in your heart, and may the sun always shine on your face. May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the way to your door.
Christmas is the favorite time of the year for many of us, with present exchanges, food & drink and socializing with friends & family at the top of the agenda. But what are the true origins and meaning of this seemingly inexhaustible celebration?
Although most of our current customs only go back a few hundred years - Father Christmas as we know him dressed in red and white much less - there has been a festival at this time in the year for thousands of years. Although these days it is taken to mean the commemoration of the birth of Jesus, the date of December 25th was that of the winter solstice in Roman times, and other cultures have celebrated the darkest winter night for millennia. This book looks at all aspects of what the festive period means for people all over the world, beginning with a history of Christmas that looks at Yule, Nativity and Christmas as well as pagan celebrations.
The embodiment of Christmas, Father Christmas, has a whole chapter, and this jolly character we know and love has a long history, not to mention a big bag of presents! But wait - there's myrrh(!): quotes, jokes, sayings and words of wisdom and fun from around the world, as well as fun facts about how, where, when and why we celebrate - and we look at curious customs from around the world.

For over 150 years, Louis Vuitton's monographed bags have been associated with style and luxury. Born in 1821, he had left home at 13 to seek his fortune in Paris where he became an apprentice box-maker which eventually led him to introductions at the French Royal Court. With royal endorsement, Louis opened of his first workshop in 1854 where his skills and innovations established his brand as one of Europe's most popular.
Passing his passion for crafting beautiful luggage onto his son, Georges, and later his grandson Gaston-Louis, they ensured the company continued to grow, surviving two world wars, to become the luxury brand it's renowned for. Louis Vuitton stores opened in cities throughout the world and expanded into other high-end brands. The merger in 1987 with Möet Hennessy created the megabrand LVMH, and in 1997 the appointment of Marc Jacobs launched Louis Vuitton into the world of fashion. The Louis Vuitton woman is more about a quality - a quality within some women that needs to come forward, to be noticed and recognised.
