We’re getting properly settled in our new flat now. This means a big trip to IKEA to pick up some all important essentials (new drawers, ironing board, kitchen bin etc etc) and I just had to have these fab latte glasses, at only £1.50 each! Perfect for Irish coffees or fruit tea.

One of the best things you can do for your body and mind is get a good nights sleep. While the traditional “8 hours a night” may be under question, you should always wake up feeling rested and fresh for the day.
• Try a nice hot drink to help you relax before bed. I’m loving chamomile tea right now, but during the winter I go for a hot chocolate.
• Share your bed with a blanket hogger? Get a king size duvet and they’ll be plenty of cover for everyone. No more tug of war.
• Television, laptop and phone screens give out blue lights, which make your brain think it’s day time. Cut them out of your nighttime routine where you can. Where that’s not possible use a filter like Flux to block out the blue light and help you sleep better.
• Change your mattress. Springs digging in at night don’t only keep you awake, they can also induce nightmares.

Recently I’ve been craving a hot drink in the afternoon, but since my coworkers have a nasty milk stealing habit I am reluctant to go for a coffee. Instead I have been trying all different types of tea! My favourite so far has been this one, Very Berry by British company Higher Living. It is recommended that you leave the tea bag in for a good 5 minutes to properly get all the flavour out of the bag, then you are good to go. The water turned a properly vibrant pink, so I was expecting a strong flavour but it was actually pleasantly mild. I’m looking forward to trying out more from these guys.
