  Sleep is so important and I’ve realised that more as I’ve got older. Whilst I do pride myself on my ability to sleep anywhere (as soon as the plane takes off, I’m gone!) I’ve put some real effort into making my bed the best place to sleep. It started when I got rid of the old, disgusting mattress that came home with me from uni. I didn’t understand just how bad that was for my back and my sleep until I got a proper memory foam mattress. You spend an average of 33 years in bed over your lifetime, so you need a decent mattress! Finding the perfect firm pillows For years I’ve been struggli ..read more

One of my favourite things to buy at Christmas is stocking fillers. There’s something fun about buying a lot of little presents for someone. I have been collecting stocking fillers for friends and family for the last couple of months and have managed to get some great presents.  One of my favourite cosmetics brands is MAC cosmetics. I bought my first MAC lipstick in 2012 and since then I have built up quite a collection. It’s always my go to brand when I know someone wants new makeup. They have a lot of great products for less than £20 and each one is such great quality.  My fa ..read more

I like to think that I’ve got packing light down to tee now. I’ve been on so many flights with budget airlines with only hand luggage, so I’m a bit of an expert. In a couple of weeks, I’ll be flying to Portugal and I’m only able to take a personal bag on board and have no checked luggage.
