Mission: Sleep. Part 1-Leesa

I know there is the saying that ‘it’s nice to come home to your own bed’ but I have to admit that recently, I have been staying in some seriously comfortable hotel beds. A combination of a supportive mattress, the puffiest pillows and the softest bed linen have provided me with some of the best sleep I’ve had in years and an ongoing conversation with Ross that ‘we should try

Happy New Year: The Feel Good Post

I do like January especially after the chaos of Christmas. I like the fact that it’s an excuse to reset and ditch all the bad habits you got into the year before. I don’t like the pressure of dieting and exercising fads which we all get pummelled with…don’t you think the word ‘diet’ is so 90s? I like to think of January as being a time to reconnect with yourself

Boutique Apartment Living In Vinohrady, Prague

I didn’t know much about Prague before visiting. Normally I have a vague idea of whereabouts I’d like to stay in a city – in Paris South Pigalle in Singapore Ann Siang Hill but in Prague I had no clue. So when we ended up in Vinohrady I was pleasantly surprised – perfectly situated just outside of the main town, in a local and quite sophisticated neighbourhood complete with a

The Cool Kids Guide To Prague

We were only in Prague for three days so this is by no means a definitive guide but as always I like to include cool places I’ve tried that will appeal to both kids and parents.

A Winter Beach House – Crantock Beach, Cornwall

Our winter beach escape to Cornwall could not have come at a better time for me and Rex. Full of coughs and colds we were in definite need of some good blustery beach walks and Cornish air to clear out our lungs.

If I Won The Lottery: The Wishlist ‘Edited’

One of my favourite conversations is ‘If I Won The Lottery…’ I’m not dissatisfied with life but let’s face it, most people would be grateful for a bit of breathing space financially. When Lottoz asked what I’d spend my money on if it happened to me, it got me thinking. Pre-kids it would have been all about mega luxury holidays, superyachts and designer clothes but it’s funny how your priorities

A Winter Made In Britain – Gloverall Duffle Coats

Winter for me is all about the investment buys, having spent too many years not being warm enough when I’m out. I now realise, no matter what I’m wearing underneath, if I have a good sturdy coat to carry me through the winter months, I’ll be fine. I’m not talking about going out and buying any old winter coat however, this coat is the one you’ll be seen in most days for several

Some of my favourite beauty products at the moment are plant-based. Not only do they feel really good on your skin but the smells are amazing! Whenever I use them I feel like I’ve just been to a spa and the scent stays with me all day making me feel so good. One brand I have long been a fan of is Aesop. I am obsessed. We have Aesop handwash

A Family Friendly Hotel In Galle, Sri Lanka: Fort Bazaar

If you are planning a trip you need to be strategic in planning where you want to go in order to combine variety with breaking up long car journeys. Galle is the fort city and a Unesco World Heritage Site on the south west coast and a definite place to stop in my book.
