Las Vegas has a reputation as one of the most fast-paced, fun and fake places in the world. Having just returned from a week in the gambling mecca, I can only say that reputation is well-deserved.

I’ve always suffered badly from jetlag. Long haul flights can mean my body takes more than a week to get back to normal. I find myself desperate to nap in the afternoon but come night-time spend hours staring at the alarm clock and praying my body will be tired enough to sleep soon.

Just when we thought winter would never end, summer has officially arrived. Already you can see that people have a certain spring in their step, and it won’t be long until we all start spilling out into parks, back gardens and taking long strolls in the sunshine.

My boyfriend and I decided we were desperate to get away for a few days and relax recently, and by complete coincidence an email popped into my inbox from my friend Kate telling me about an amazing deal she’d found to Spain. For £170 each, her and her boyfriend were going away for a four day all-inclusive break in a four star hotel and she asked if we fancied going along.

These days we live in a world where success is often measured by how well-known or famous you are. More and more kids are growing up dreaming about becoming a celebrity – and they won’t let something small like a lack of talent stand in their way.
