    For a long time I’ve found myself a bit of a “half empty” kinda person. As much as I hate to admit it, I’m always living on the edge of caution. Worrying about the “ifs” and the “buts” and the “oh my goodness, something terrible will happen if we do this.” To be honest, sometimes it’s pretty draining to be in my own head. That’s why this Summer I’m trying to make a habit of getting myself out of that little rut I have found myself in. I recently went to Blog At The Beach with icelolly.com and Jen Lowthrop presented a talk on “doing fun things when we work full time and releasing our inner fun.” It really opened my eyes to the kinds of possibilities that would turn me more in to the “half full” kinda gal I wanna be!

    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.

    Black Friday is upon us, people going crazy for all the deals. Except me, I’m sat snuggly and warm in my cosy knit jumper, cup of tea in hand and laptop fired up. I’m shopping from the comfort from my own home without all the squawking shoppers on the high street. Blissful. Shoes are my vice, 100%. You can never go wrong with a pair of shoes. Generally you can get a pair of shoes to fit and there’s no crying about being able to do up a zip because you ate one too many 32 chicken nugget boxes (we’ve all been there) whilst crying dramatically in to your full length mirror. That’s why shoes will forever be my wardrobe favourites. And lets face it, these Ego embroidered boots are OUT OF THIS WORLD.

    I think everyone needs a little bit of “Hygge” in their life. It’s a way of life that has been fully embraced by the UK over the last few months, this Danish concept roughly translates to “cosiness” within ones home and life. It’s a term that is definitely one I want to embrace, especially through the winter months when the weather becomes significantly cooler. Being snug is a top priority. One way that can drastically change a home in to ultimate comfort is by lighting several scented candles (heart eyed emojis all round) and making the house smell nice in the process too. This oriental spice & cherry blossom candle from The English Soap Company is no exception to the rule.
