PRETTY YOUNG THING

I've been using the Tisserand Aromatherapy Sleep Better aroma spa diffuser for a couple of weeks now and I wanted to share my first impressions as i'm loving it!

We have been using the Ergopouch Cocoon Swaddle and Sleep bag with Amelia since she was two weeks old. Up to this point we were swaddling her with blankets. I was abit worried about using a sleeping bag with Amelia because she was so small I felt like they would just swamp her but the Ergopouch was perfect. It's a size 0-3 month so it's smaller than the other sleeping bags on the market that seem to be size 0-6.

The Ergopouch sleep bag fitted Amelia really well. It has poppers on the arms so I could tighten the arms so it fits her better and stops it from moving around. I like this feature because I could tighten the fit but also I have the poppers open now that Amelia is bigger.
It zips down the front and you can upzip it easily for nighttime changes. We found it really easy to change Amelia throughout the night. We were having to wake her up for feeds for a while so we were waking every 3-4 hours so we changed her alot throughout the night.

We have only just started using some of our other sleeping bags as Amelia is now 9lb 4oz and I think they fit her now. So she has only been wearing the Ergopouch pretty much every night since she was born. We have washed it nearly every single day and it still looks like new. It has bobble slightly but you would expect this with something thats been washed so much. The colour still looks great and all the zips and poppers look intact.


We have the 2.5 tog bag as we knew Amelia was due in November so would need a winter sleeping bag. This has been perfect, it keeps her nice and toasty but not too hot or cold. The also do a 0.2 tog so thats perfect for a summer baby.

We love the Ergopouch Cocoon, we've started getting Amelia into more of a routine so we pop her in at around 8pm for her feed and we pop her into her bed. She goes down so well, I think she sleeps loads better in her sleeping bag in the night, we tend to use blankets in the day and she just kicks them off and they bug her.

I'm going to look into buying the next size up in a summer tog for Amelia as she doesn't have a summer tog yet and we've found the Ergopouch so easy to use, it's washed up really well and Amelia settles so well in it. There's lots of other products on the Ergopouch website and they seem to have lots of promotions over on their site too so check them out.

When you work from home you tend to spend a lot of time wearing comfy clothing, I practically live in Pj's when i'm home. I work part time and blog part time so I spend about 4 days a week at home working on my blog etc. Obviously I don't always work in my pj's but I tend to opt for a more comfy casual outfit like leggings and a tshirt when i'm working from home. I was going through my Pj's and I have so many fluffy/ wintery sets and not alot of lighter spring/ summer bits so I thought i'd share some of my Spring loungewear picks with you.

 First up is this cute Jack Wills Cami and Short set from Asos which looks so comfy and cosy you could easily pop on a pair of joggers if it's abit nippy but these are perfect for the warmer summery months. I love grey nightwear!

If it's abit nippy you can always pop on a dressing gown or you can even get cardigans like this one from New Look which would be perfect to keep you a bit warmer. I've picked out a few dressing gowns and wraps as i've only got a big fluffy one and I really want to get myself a cooler/ lighter one for Spring/ Summer. How cute is this Pink Unicorn Dressing Gown from Boohoo or this pink paisley print kimono from David Neiper is cute and it's cotton so again super lightweight.

I usually opt for some kind of legging and tshirt option when i'm picking out pj's just like this Pug set from Boohoo! I find them so comfy when i'm in bed and working from home. They are light so I don't get too hot. Primark do loads of different designs in this kind of style.

Slippers! I thought i'd pick out a few pairs of slippers again as mine are huge fluffy ones so i'll need to pick up a more summery pair. I thought these Pug ones from New Look were really nice, they look so comfy and not too hot! These Cactus ones from Asos look abit warmer and maybe abit too fluffy for spring but I love anything with a Cactus on, I love these!!


So they are my Spring Loungewear picks! What do you wear on your day off when your chilling at home? Or do you work from home too and spend all day in comfy clothes like me?

I've been having alot of trouble sleeping recently. I'm struggling to switch off as I tend to worry about things whilst i'm trying to get to sleep. I'm trying really hard to switch off and not think about things to help get a better sleep. Here's a few tips and tricks to help you de-stress before bed.

1. Have a relaxing bath! I love soaking in a nice warm bath with a Lush bath bomb* to chill out before going to bed. I light some candles and just relax, sometimes i'll watch youtube videos as well. I'm loving all the new Lush Christmas products, check them out in my recent Lush Solihull tour blog post

2. No Phones! One of my biggest struggles is sitting on my phone for hours! I'll constantly refresh instagram and twitter and sit there for along long time just scrolling! The light from your phone actually prevents your brain from producing Melatonin which is a hormone that tells our bodies its nighttime.

3. Light a candle on the evening. This Neom Tranquility Candle * that I got from Amara is lovely! The Lavender, Sweet Basil and Jasmine are a perfect combination for that perfect sleep. They relax you and calm you for a better sleep.

4. Sleep Spray, The This Works, Deep Sleep Pillow Spray is lovely. So many people rave about it! I've been using it for a little while and i'm still struggling to sleep but I think I'm thinking about too much. It does however relax me and make me feel calm.

5. That skincare routine! There's lots of lovely products that you can use on your skin that work through the night. These usually have lavender and jasmine in which calm your skin but also smell amazing and can create a better nights sleep. The Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate* is great it has that Lavender essential oil inside which soothes irritated skin and smells lovely.

6. Read a book, I find that reading a book before bed helps me sleep. I feel I worry less about whats going on in the real world because i'm reading about something else, reading makes me feel less stressed and allows me to switch off and relax before bed.


What are your tips for De-stressing before bed? I think i've got so much going on right now because i'm still struggling to get to sleep so if you have any remedies or methods let me know.
