Simba Hybrid Pillow
I have a smile on my face as I type this. Why? Because every night since last week I’ve had the best sleep thanks to my new Simba Hybrid pillow*. The thing is, I’ve been having pillow issues for a while. I used to favour soft, fluffy ones (always a pair) but then I changed…

Savsé Smoothies
Protein shakes. They make me think of body building muscle Mary freaks in the gym. I’ve seen huge tubs of the powdered stuff in health food shops but yeah, I never quite understood the point. Are they a supplement if you’re not getting your protein quota in the conventional way? I go to the gym…

Lékué: Kit Crêpes & Pancakes
Today is Shrove Tuesday, which means one thing – pancakes. While I don’t observe Lent, I am very partial to pancakes – several times during the year in fact. Crepes, American style…whatever variation they come in, pancakes will always put a smile on my face. They are stupidly easy to rustle up with no excuse…

MAXimise Your Morning with Shreddies MAX™
I’ve never been an early-morning-bird-catches-the-worm type as much as I’ve tried. I wish I was. I know getting up early has its benefits, I’m just not programmed that way and I’m sure I speak for a lot of people on that front. According to new research by Shreddies MAX™, a new breakfast cereal from Nestle,…

Zyliss Easy Pull Manual Food Processor
Lakeland has some bang-tidy things. I actually worry about walking into a store because I know I will walk out in tears, wanting EVERYTHING with no room to keep it all. I’ve already have a list of bits and pieces I’m lusting for from their latest catalogue – seriously, so good. The catalogue, that is…and…

Lékué Microwave Steam Case
I loathe ready-made meals. They may be convenient but urgh, they taste awful. Even with so much choice, I get knots in my stomach at the prospect of eating one but now microwaving something in 3 minutes may not result in your stomach contorting with Lékué’s Microwave Steam Case* from Lakeland. It’s a soft, shallow case…

Recipe: Nigella’s Dragon Wings
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe but the one I am sharing today is unbelievably easy – it’s Dragon Wings by Nigella Lawson. I came across this in a special supplement featured in the May issue of BBC Good Food magazine and when I posted the pictorial evidence on Instagram, tongues were…

Recipe: Cappuccino Coffee Cake with Little’s Coffee
I’m most definitely a coffee person. I’ve given tea a go (I quite like Tesco’s chocolate tea that Leanne introduced me to) but for a caffeine hit to get me through the mornings at work, a steaming hot cup of coffee is very much needed. Over the past few months, I’ve been enjoying the taste…

Merry Fitmas with Quorn
Hello! I cannot believe how fast this year is whizzing by. In just over three weeks I’ll be in New York and I cannot describe how excited I am about it. Determined to feel and look good for it, I joined the gym three months ago and am having a love-hate relationship with the place (more…
