Ready to Revamp Your Bedroom? 4 Things to Prioritize

*Collaborative Post

Revamping your bedroom can make a huge difference to your overall wellbeing and quality of life. After all, we spend eight hours in our bedrooms sleeping every night, so it makes sense that you should have a calming sanctuary that you can relax in. If your bedroom is looking worse for wear, the decor is looking shabby and it’s full of clutter, this can actually affect your quality of sleep and in turn, have an effect on your quality of life in the daytime. For a bedroom that you can’t wait to go home to at night and sleep in, make these four things a priority.

How to Take Care of Your Wristwatch

*Written in collaboration with Emily Jones

A watch is not just a simple timepiece that tells you the time, it is a statement about your personality and in most cases, it is also an investment. Since most watches are delicate and can easily suffer the test of time, you must ensure that they are well taken care of. Thus, here is how you can take care of your wristwatch and give it a longer lifespan and keeping it looking new and pristine.

Tips For Secondhand Shopping

Secondhand September is upon us and it is such a great time for us to shift our focus from buying everything brand new to thinking about what other options are available to us. In the past, I have been that snob. I have thought of secondhand items as not being good enough, not being luxurious enough and not being for me and I do believe that there was a lot of this mindset going around when I was growing up in the 90’s (coincidentally this was also the time when many of those so called “convenient” disposable items came to market too) but I have most definitely been converted and I am so, so glad to see a flurry of change coming with a lot more of us waking up to the damage that large corporations and fast fashion companies are causing to the planet in both pollution and greenhouse gases. Shopping secondhand is now seen as you being more environmentally friendly, as you being super savvy, it allows you to find one off pieces and to create unique collections inside your home. So, how do you go about shopping successfully in this way? Here are my tips for secondhand shopping…

How To Know When The Baby Bump Will Show

*Collaborative Post

When does the baby bump start to show? This is a question that excites and intrigues many women during the early stages of their pregnancy. A visible baby bump is a turning point in any pregnancy, it is the moment that a private acknowledgement of a burgeoning life becomes public knowledge and it is the sign that your baby is growing. So, when does this defining moment happen? Well, it’s different for every woman and there are a variety of factors involved.

Review | The Mozy- An Outdoors Wrap With A Difference

*Paid Collaboration

You may have realised by now that we are a very outdoorsy family. We love exploring new places, going on long walks and being close to nature. What you may not have realised about me is that I cannot stand being cold. In fact, once my body gets too cold I find it hard to warm up and that can often put a dampener on a day out. So, on those chillier days good clothing, a warm jacket and a blanket are often taken out with us especially if we are sitting somewhere for a picnic or on the beach. However, a blanket doesn’t really do a great job. With gaps around the underneath of you, the constant re-aligning of it due to the kids jumping on you and the lack of consistent warmth, sometimes it just doesn’t seem worth it and I thought I was just destined to forever be moaning that I am cold. But then Get The Mozy contacted me…The Mozy is a brand new thermal wrap which wraps all the way around your lower half of your body, that fixes in place with velcro, that allows movement without any restrictions and has a thermal engineered design which prevents convective heat loss. Needless to say, I was very excited to give it a try and with a UK holiday booked we had the perfect opportunity to put the wrap through its paces for our Mozy review.

Review | WUKA Period Pants

*Previously gifted product & Affiliate links

Having a comfortable period is something that is at the top of every person’s list. We all know that ‘that time of the month’ can bring PMS symptoms, aches, migraines, cramps and so on so the last thing anybody wants is to feel a bit yucky down below. Having used disposable menstrual products over many, many years (because I had no idea that reusables existed!) I know firsthand how disposable pads can make your periods heavier, how they can be smelly, can make your sweat, can move and lead to leaks and how the costs mount up. Thankfully, there are so many options available to us today
