[GIFTED] BEAUTY: THIS WORKS LOVE SLEEP RANGE


THIS WORKS LOVE SLEEP RANGE 

If you've followed me for a while you will know i'm a huge fan of This Works and they're products. I especially love their deep sleep pillow spray! Today i'm sharing their new Love Sleep range! I haven't tried it all yet but thought i'd share the collection with you as it's the perfect range for Valentines Day  next week. 

First up is the Love Sleep Pillow Spray, as I mentioned above i'm a huge fan of their Deep Sleep Pillow spray so I was super excited when I spotted a new version. First up the packaging is new, the bottle is much nicer and feels more expensive. The new range has a new scent of Ylang Ylang and Patchouli to get you in the mood and encapsulated deep sleep fragrance to support a restful nights sleep.

Next is the Love Sleep Breathe In, very similar to the Pillow Spray but you roll on to your pulse points and breath in deeply. A sensual blend of Ylang Ylang, Patchouli and Frankincense leaves skin feeling nourished and encourages relaxation. 

The Love Sleep Bedroom Blend is an essential oil, just add a few drops to a diffuser or tissue, proven to relax and calm to make way for sleep and intimacy.

Finally is the Seduction Candle.  I have to say i'm a fan of candles in the bedroom. It calms me, I hate having harsh lighting on in the bedroom, I prefer candle light to get me in the mood. The Seduction Candle is perfect for this as it promotes a sense of wellbeing and the aromatheraputic blend will help switch you off and turn you on! The candle is lovely and smells gorgeous! I'm super excited to burn this and put it to the test! 

The Love Sleep range sounds amazing! I'm super excited to give it a try. I'm quite an anxious person and struggle to switch off so this range sounds right up my street. I'm already a big fan of the deep sleep pillow spray and honestly I couldn't live without it. I use it all the time when I'm struggling to switch off. I can honestly say I spend far too much time on my phone in bed and I know that this is a huge factor into my poor sleep. I really struggle to switch off and end up scrolling. I'm going to test out the pillow spray and the candle first and see how they effect my mood in the bedroom, with Valentines day next week it couldn't have come at a better time.

To shop the Love Sleep range head over to the This Works website now...

LIFESTYLE: IS YOUR FAMILY READY FOR A PET?

Many people, at some point, consider welcoming a pet into their family. Your kids might have been asking for an animal for a while, or you might have had an animal when you were a child, and be keen to offer your own children the same great experience. 
There are many advantages to having a family pet. Large pets like dogs can be incredibly loyal and loving. They can become a best friend for your children, as well as a protector and a constant, comforting presence. Pets can boost mental health, ease childhood anxiety, and ensure that everyone in the family always has someone to cuddle when they need it. 
Both big and small pets can teach responsibility and show children how rewarding a loving relationship can be. They can teach empathy and help children understand how to care for someone else. They can be fun, improve relationships in the home, and help everyone to get more exercise. 
But, there’s no denying that a pet is a big commitment. Even small pets that live in cages need looking after, and large animals like dogs need attention, walking, and expensive food and vets care. When you’ve got children to look after, as well as work and other responsibilities, the idea of adding an animal to the mix can be hard to balance. Here are some things to think about if you are wondering if your family is ready to welcome a pet. 
How Old Are Your Children?
Many people with pets have children. If you are used to caring for animals, you certainly wouldn’t have to get rid of them to have a child (although, this is the right decision for many families). But, if you’ve never had a pet, suddenly trying to care for babies and pets can be difficult. You might also want to wait if your children are toddlers, or have just started school. They might be very excited about an animal, but unable to understand the responsibilities involved. 
However, there’s no right time. There will always be challenges, no matter how old your children are. And you know them better than anyone else. Take advice, but if you feel like your children are ready to own pets, go for it. 
Are They Keen to Help?
Your children may claim that they want to help, but do they really? Do they ask questions about how to care for pets? Have they taken an interest in learning more about what they’ll need to do? 
Get books, show them videos and teach them as much as you can about caring for a pet, even the less cute parts, then ask them if they still want one.
Do You Have a Consistent Schedule?
A busy schedule doesn’t mean that you can’t have a pet, but it might mean that you choose a different one. If your home is often empty, or your schedule is inconsistent, then a dog might not be the right choice. A smaller animal, with a small home, which is alright when left alone for long periods, might be a better option. 
Is There Space at Home?
Do you have room for a pet? Is there plenty of room inside your house for an animal to run around and sleep? Do you have a comfortable space for a large cage? Do you have room in your garden for a house, and a Stainless Steel Wire and Mesh run?  Again, a lack of space doesn’t mean that you can’t have a pet; you might just need to think about it more carefully. 
Do You Want a Pet?
Let’s face it, no matter how much your children claim that they’ll do all of the work; they won’t. Even if they pull their weight, a lot of the care will fall to you. So ask yourself, regardless of how anyone else feels if you want an animal at home. 
What Will You Do When You Travel?
Even smaller, caged animals need to be a consideration if you travel. A dog, you may be able to take on some trips with you. Dogs and cats can have short stays in kennels, but this comes at a cost. Would you be able to leave them with a friend or family member? If you’ve got a caged animal, is there someone who could take them if you were out of the country for a few weeks?
Adding a pet to your family can be one of the best things that you ever do. Many people say that their pets complete their family and bring everyone together. But, it’s a huge commitment, and certainly not something that you should rush into.

BEAUTY: BEAUTY TIPS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE MAKE UP


When we think about beauty we start to think about makeup, and hygiene products, and even facial wipes. But when it comes to beauty there are many other things that can help you to feel great and look wonderful at the same time. It is all about products and things that you need to buy, there are a few other important tips to remember when it comes to beauty. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but these tips can help you feel great which is important.


Sleep
Getting enough sleep, and rest, is more important than anything when it comes to beauty, of course, you can cover up the dark circles around your eyes, but that isn’t going to stop your skin becoming dehydrated and tired-looking over time. So making sure that you have done your research on Luxury Beds, that you are sticking to a strict sleep and relaxation schedule, and that you take time out for yourself is essential. Be well rested will give your eyes sparkle that you can’t buy in a bottle, it will give you an overall aura of peace and energy, and it will help your interactions with other people. Being receptive to compliments, and having positive conversations can all be helped by having a wonderful night’s sleep.

Exercise
Getting enough exercise doesn’t only help your body stay in shape, but it also boosts your immune system and increases the number of endorphins and happy hormones in your body. A great side-effect of getting enough exercise is that you smile more. And there is nothing more beautiful on someone’s face than a smile when you read them. So if exercise isn’t something that you do already, then maybe looking into what type of exercise that you have enjoyed in the past, what do you availability years now to you, and get started sooner rather than later. Many people use exercises a great stress reliever, and it can alongside sleep, Be a game-changer.

Positivity
Focusing on the positive side, and making sure that everybody you speak to is seeing a lovely sight you, will certainly improve how you feel about yourself, and how are you seem to others. Being positive and only focusing on things that are good that happened to you throughout the day, can actually improve your overall mood significantly. The old role Dahl quote “if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely“ is very true, and if we all think positive thoughts we can change other people's perceptions of us. 

Along with “remove your make up before bed“ then these tips can take you a long way in feeling great about yourself. Some self-confidence, looking after your skin, thinking lovely thoughts, and getting enough rest is a wonderful combination for anyone looking to improve their beauty regime. Sleep is certainly up there with the most important ideas, however, and a good night’s sleep will help you overcome any things.

LIFESTYLE: 4 Things You Must Not Forget When Running Your Own Business

It doesn't matter what it is that your business does, there are some aspects of running your own organisation that stay true over time, no matter what. In fact, you could call these the foundations of a successful and well-organised business. Read on to find out what they are. 
A business plan 
Would you travel to a new destination without consulting a map, or putting your sat nav on? No, well, then you should not start up a business without having a map or plan of where you are now and where you want to get to either.  
In fact, a business plan is one of the most essential things you will need, not just for the reasons above, but for many other purposes as well. After all, how can you measure whether you are succeeding or not if you don't know where you started and what you are aiming for? Also, don't forget to get any investors on board; you will absolutely need to have a water right business plan. Along with realistic financial projects for at least the next three years. Figures they will want to scrutinise. 
Marketing 
Next, when running your own business, you mustn't forget about how to promote your services or products to the audience you wish to sell them to. In fact, increasingly in this information-overloaded society in which we live, getting your message to stand out above your competitors is crucial. 
With that in mind, carefully selecting the right brand image, then promoting this effectively is essential. 
To achieve this, consider tactics such as SEO, paper products, and social media presence. Content marketing is also one of the most critical strategies you can use in your marketing plan.  
The operational side of things 
It may not be as glamorous as running promotion and marketing campaigns. Still, any successful business will also need to make sure that the operational side of things runs smoothly as well. Of course, that means getting the basics right, such as choosing the correct type and location of premises for your organisation. While making sure your employees have the tools and resources they need to get the job done is also essential. 
It even encompasses issues such as how you will get your trade waste disposed of. Something that can be a lot more important than you think. Not only because of the impact this can have on the environment, but also because of the costs involved. 
Money matters 
Talking of costs, that is just one of the categories of finance that you will need to keep a close eye on when running your business. Of course, the others include income, revenue, salaries or wages, as well overheads such as rent and utilities 


In fact, when it comes to running your own business, you must do all you can to maximise the money coming in and minimise the costs you need to payout. Otherwise, you may discover that your books do not balance at the end of the year. This being a situation that can put the longevity and further success of your business in jeopardy.

OUTFIT POST: WHAT I WORE ON OUR DAY OUT TO GLOUCESTER



DRESS: RIVER ISLAND // COAT: LILY LULU *GIFTED // BOOTS: TU SAINSBURYS // NECKLACES: DAISY LONDON * GIFTED 

Today we visited Gloucester for the day, we did some shopping and sightseeing. I thought i'd share my outfit as I haven't taken any outfit photos forever! My dress was a recent purchase from the River Island sale, I love it and I love how easy it is to wear. I've wore it with my leather jacket recently and it looks fab. I'm looking forward to wearing it without tights when it warms up a little. My coat is from Lily Lulu and it's so warm! It a really big chunky coat that keeps me super warm but looks fab at the same time! My boots were a bargain from the TU sainsburys sale, I love them i've basically worn them everyday since I bought them.

I'm hoping to get back into outfit posts, i'd kind of fell out of love with clothes shopping but I'm finding my way back. I seem to be loving long floral dresses and blue ripped mom jeans with jumpers!

A DAY OUT IN GLOUCESTER



Today we visited Gloucester. We mainly went because I wanted to visit the Where is the light? installation at Gloucester Cathedral. We made a day of it and had a wonder around the town, visited the shops, they have an outlet shopping centre and had a stroll along the docks. Amelia loved seeing the boats. It was a really lovely day out and I would really recommend it for an afternoon out.

Lifestyle: How to Plan a Perfect Interior Design Makeover for Your Home


Giving your home a makeover is a really exciting thing to do. There are just so many gorgeous interior design ideas out there; the only problem you will have is deciding which style to opt for in your home. 
Getting your interior design project perfect is so important. Your home is your sanctuary, it is your personal space, so it should be somewhere that you love spending your time, and should meet your needs. Redecorating your home is the ideal opportunity to start from a blank canvas and create a home that matches your personality and offers the best possible living environment for you and your family. Decorating is about so much more than merely adding a fresh coat of paint; it is about being creative and breathing new life into your living space.
Find Your Inspiration
Embarking on an interior design makeover can feel a little daunting at times, especially if you are making over your entire home. You may feel apprehensive about getting started and undecided on how you would like your home to look. Try not to overthink things too much. Don’t feel pressured to decorate in a particular style because that is what is trending right now, or because it is how your friend’s homes look. Instead, create the home that you want.
To help you find your perfect interiors style, take some time to browse through interior design websites and magazines to find some inspiration. Searching for interior design inspiration will help you to decide what you do like, and what you know you don’t want in your home. You may find it helpful to create a mood board so that you can bring all of your ideas together into one place.
Shop Around
Shopping for homewares can be a lot of fun, but make sure that you set yourself a budget before your shopping trip, as it is so easy to get carried away. If you spot something that you love, which is way too expensive, try not to be disappointed, as with a bit of research and shopping around, you are sure to find a more affordable lookalike elsewhere.
Before you make a purchase, pause for a second to give it a second thought, and to decide whether or not it will work with the look that you are trying to create in your home. 
Perfect Finish
A home makeover takes a lot of work, so after putting so much time and attention into your project, you will want it to look perfect. Hiring professional decorators such as upscalepainting.com.au will help you to achieve the perfect finish that you are after. Using professional decorators will also help your interior makeover to happen far more quickly, as you won’t be stuck trying to find time to paint and decorate in your own busy schedule. Having someone else to do the painting will also leave you free to focus on the fun parts of the project, such as styling the room with accessories.
