So, it’s been three weeks since I first popped my spanking, brand new duvet on my bed from Snuggledown. It’s safe to say, it’s the most luxurious duvet we have ever owned and it has without a doubt encouraged us to take a leap of faith and purchase more “luxury” products off the back of it. We received the 10.5 tog duvet to test out whether our sleep improved based on the science behind it’s design.
When the opportunity arises to try out a new menu at a local restaurant it’s very hard for me to say no. I mean come on guys, food. ALL THE FOOD. As a keen bean I’m always intrigued to see what different eateries have to offer. The older I get, the more I enjoy the slightly finer things in life (but hey, that doesn’t mean I’m not adverse to boshing a foot-long steak & cheese subbers every once in a while. Ya with me?) So, when the invitation to see what the Firelake Restaurant at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Leeds dropped in, I was pretty interested. After I did a little research online, it seemed that this was much further away from being “any old hotel restaurant.”
Waking up in the rather large, cosy, king sized bed at the Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel was a type of morning I’d like to repeat. Every weekend. But sadly I can’t. My bank balance probably wouldn’t thank me and there’s a small issue of who would look after the dog. So when we do get to enjoy, boy am I going to saviour it. Probably one of the snuggliest beds I’ve ever had the pleasure to stay in, my night sleep was perfect. With a quick cup of tea before heading down for breakfast, it meant I could revel in for an extra 15 minutes longer.
For those of you who follow me on Twitter & Instagram, you will know I’ve been spending many a night recently sleeping on the sofa because of this god awful “hacking cough” that is doing the rounds and sadly it won’t F off. Sleeping in our bed is just not ideal because one, I keep waking up Mr C (oops) and two, I’m not very comfortable. I wrote a post about getting a good nights sleep a few weeks back, which you can read here and whilst I really thought of some great ways to get to sleep I never really thought or took in to consideration how much your duvets and pillows could possibly enhance your sleeping experience.
New Years Resolutions. You either love them, or you hate them. Some of you believe this is the time to create a new you, others couldn’t give two hoots. But how about if you could incorporate some of the things you want to do or change with your travel plans. They do say “that travel is the only thing you buy, that makes you richer” and if that’s anything to go by, I’m definitely up for that. If you’ve got some NY rezzies, here’s some of my top picks with CheapFlights* on how you can enjoy ticking off some bucket list destinations whilst feeling good about yourself!
