My name is Alison and I wanted to tell you a little bit about me.  I am married with one son, aged twelve.  I also have a dog, a rather loveable King Charles Spaniel called Eddie. I live in Newcastle and love to enter competitions, read books and cook. I often spend a weekend baking. I am also a techy geek who loves gadgets. I really enjoyed being a Samsung Mob!lier and learning more about their technology. I am also mad about dragons and have collected them for a long time. I love getting outdoors with my dog and son, and am pleased to be a Forestry Commission blogger as I get a chance to ramble about the forest.

This is my blog, which I started as some friends told me I really needed to have one. As a result it is a bit about everything. I think of it as a lifestyle blog as I tend to write about things I am interested in. You  will find a number of main themes running though it, these are beauty, cooking, books, technology, fashion and shoes. I have a bit of a passion for shoes and Spartoo help me to indulge this passion.  Recently I have been getting into running and fitness as well, I might even enter the Great North Run one day. I also like writing about places I have been and taking photos. I love writing my blog and I do hope you enjoy reading it.

I am PR Friendly and am happy to reviews of products, services or websites for myself. I have two helpers in my reviews, my son and my dog. I will do a through detailed and honest review.  I will promote the review on twitter and will include links and photos. I love competitions and am happy to host these on my blog. I find these are a very successful way to promote your product and my blog. If you would like to contact me for any of these purposes or to have me waffle generally about you on my blog please get in touch:   alison@dragonsandfairydust.co.uk
