Life is good but it’s not roses all of the time and frankly, sometimes it’s just stinky. I am a young (ish, OK perhaps the older side of young, but definitely not the younger side of old) woman – single mother, worker, business runner, gin drinker….. – blogging about the reality of life. Sometimes that’s sweet, often it’s smelly and let’s face it, most of us spend our time just trying to cover it up!

If you’re looking for parenting tips, advice on work/life balance and getting ahead in business then move right along; there’s nothing for you here. If you’re looking for a working mum telling it like it is, warts and all – the perfume AND the trumps of modern life – then fasten your seat belt: the ride will be bumpy, and it may turn your stomach, but you’ll enjoy it – even if it just reassures you that other people’s lives are as trumpy as yours!

Perfume & Trumps is written by Sarah Ainslie who can also be found acting more professionally, and covering it up a bit more, at Sarah Ainslie Marketing 

Perfume & Trumps was shortlisted in the Fresh Voice category of the BritMums Brilliance in Blogging Awards 2014 (but didn’t make the short short list and clearly she didn’t win. Bummer).
