    CELEBRATING GALENTINES DAY | QUEENBEADY

    We all need that time with our sisterhood, do you feel me? A day of pure indulgence, shopping till you max your cards out (oops, no I didn’t, I promise) and catch ups are always the order of the day when my sister & I get together. PrezzyBox helped us out too, with a gift card for Patisserie Valerie so we could rest our weary bones after a long day shopping because of course, you need a sit down and also an hour to stuff cakes and pastries down ya’ neck too. (Did I just do another oops?)

    Without trying to assume, this post is probably reaching out to a demographic that will be spending their hard earned cash on a female counterpart this Valentines Day. The day that has been called out for being just another “consumerism day” that retailers have added to our calendar over the years to bridge that gap between both Christmas and Easter and get some extra bank rolling in. But, as much as you love to hate it, it is here to stay. It’s not something that’s going to change so if you are really struggling to decide on something to give to a loved one, this handy last minute guide might just help!

    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.”

    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.
