Win B-Sensible Travel pillowcases

I am very fussy when it comes to pillows and take mine wherever I go, obviously not abroad, but it has been to Ireland, mine is a comfort thing and in hotels it also is for me a matter of hygiene,I sometimes take sheets too. . If you have ever seen the photo of a dust mite its enough to have you wrapping yourself up in polythene for the night. Dust mites are the largest contributors to allergies, cleanliness and hygiene in many hotels, levels of dust mites are very high. So  for allergy suffers a barrier to these main causes is a good help. Plus the feeling of cleanliness means you can relax.

B-Sensible have just the pillowcase for reassuring you of a clean fresh night, they have teamed up with Given To Distracting Others to make your two readers travel a little fresher, read on for more information and to find out how to win.

Take The ‘Dream Trip’ Of A Lifetime…

With B-Sensible bedding – the perfect travel companion

Travelling doesn’t have to mean compromising your comfort. With B-Sensible you can be reassured of a cosy, relaxing and refreshing journey with their range of breathable, hypoallergenic pillowcases.   

Whether you’re backpacking around Europe, on business or enjoying a family holiday, staying fresh whilst travelling is key to feeling comfortable during your trip!

B-Sensible has created unique, revolutionary hypoallergenic, waterproof pillowcases to ensure that you stay feeling fresh whilst sleeping on your travels thanks to the innovative fibre Tencel. Tencel is known as the “new age fibre” as it absorbs moisture naturally.  The eco-friendly fibre is made from the wood found on the Eucalyptus tree, and has natural cooling mechanisms to control temperature and humidity. This also means the pillowcases are more breathable, thus very hygienic for those long, hot journeys.  

The B-Sensible range also includes 2in1 sheets, which have all the same benefits as the pillowcases. The range is available in a variety of colours and sizes so there is something to suit everyone from babies to adults!

So rather than using a pillowcase which has been used by many travellers before, take a B-Sensible pillowcase for complete freshness on your journey, and you can also use it in the hotel when you arrive!

Take The ‘Dream Trip’ Of A Lifetime… With these top travel tips brought to you by B-Sensible 1. Personalise your luggage – putting your personal stamp on your belongings will make them easier to detect and identify. 2. Budget, budget, budget! Even if you do not necessarily have a budget, it is wise to take care of your money in case something unexpected arises. 3. A checklist is always useful. You can use this from the moment you book your journey, ensuring everything is in order. 4. Pack wisely, do not overload as this may end up costing you at the airport – plus you will have less room to bring back any new purchases that you may acquire on your travels. 5. Keep your important documents in a file. This will ensure that you have all essential papers organised, avoiding any unnecessary panic. 6. Plan some things to do ahead of time. Research the area/s you will be staying in so you don’t miss out on any hidden gems and attractions! 7. Padlock your suitcases – safety is essential. 8. Wrap your soaps and shampoos in plastic bags to avoid spillages onto your other belongings. 9.

No More Sleepless Summer Nights with B-Sensible Giveaway

I have twins who both suffer with hayfever, its been a long trek through different treatments and trials to find suitable remedies that would help.

Night times and early mornings always were the worst, I felt so helpless at times watching them struggle with blocked noses,streaming itchy eyes and sneezing.

 

I would have liked to try the B- Sensible range if I had spotted it back then. Conor also had mild eczema, he would get hot and uncomfotable at night, making the itching worse and I finally used a treatment for all the bedding which involved boiling all the sheets, spraying and hooveringand Super salve for his skin, costly but worth it. The B- Sensible range would have been ideal as it has a dust mite barrier.

Well I missed out but you don't have to, B- Sensible have offered a Given To Distracting Others follower a chance to win a 2-in-1 sheet in a size of your choice.

No More Sleepless Summer Nights with B-Sensible…

Every parent’s best friend!

During the summer months the humid weather conditions can cause perspiration, which can lead to skin irritation, ruining your toddler’s night’s sleep. What’s more, if your child is a hay fever or asthma sufferer, their allergies will be rife in the summer months, adding to uncomfortable summer night slumbers.

B-Sensible understands your child’s troubles and has created a “new dawn” in bedding, so there will be no disturbances during the night and early mornings! They offer hypo-allergenic, breathable, waterproof sheets and pillowcases so that your toddler can sleep in undisturbed natural comfort throughout the night, making B-Sensible every parent’s best friend. These are stretchable sheets and can be fitted to Moses cribs, cots and cot beds, so are with you and your child every step of the way through the early years; plus when they get older, they also fit up to super king size beds!

The 2in1 fitted sheet and protector combine into one soft waterproof breathable product which acts like a “second skin” thanks to the innovative fibre Tencel. Tencel is known as the “new age fibre” as it absorbs moisture naturally. The eco-friendly fibre is made from the wood found on the Eucalyptus tree, and has natural cooling mechanisms to control the temperature and humidity. The range also includes pillowcases!

The range of products absorb significantly more moisture than cotton and dries quicker due to its nano-fibre technology, thus helping to control humidity and body temperature. The bedding is waterproof, breathable, have optimum moisture management, hypo-allergenic, thermo regulating and eco-friendly.

Lenor Sleep Challenge Giveaway 14th Jan

Sleep escapes me at the moment, I am fully aware of some of the reasons, some I can deal with,some will take time to manage.

So when Lenor asked if I would like to take part in a sleep challenge, I yawned ;) and  said yes, oh yes please!! 

My sleep is hampered by many things but new research by Lenor has found that a staggering 83% of Brits go on to have an unproductive day if they’ve not slept in clean, fresh bed sheets and 71% claim that sleeping in fusty sheets makes them unhappy.

Unfortunately for most, a mere 5% of people feel that the clean, freshly washed feeling of newly laundered bed sheets lasts for more than a couple of days. Lenor gives fabric up to seven times longer lasting freshness by releasing scent through touch to keep them fresh and fragrant for longer - helping turn Fresh Sheet Day into Fresh Sheet Week!

Sammy Margo

Lenor sent me a sleep guide to fill in for a week.  Lenor's  had a sleep expert Sammy Margo analyse the results This covered not only length of time asleep, but how often I awoke, what my routine before bed was, worries that were affecting sleep, plus any disturbances that affected it. Importantly how I felt when I awoke.Here are Sammy's findings

Jo Bryan

Busy looking after everyone else …….but not herself.

As a full time carer, Jo is never not at work.

With her grandmother living with her and what with worrying about her Mum and other family, she doesn't really get a chance to switch off.

How can she make some time for herself whilst still ‘caring’?

Tips

Jo needs to:

• Set some time aside for a bedtime routine which may include a warm relaxing bath with lavender , some calming music and a sleepy snack
• Try to start the bedtime routine and hour before bedtime
• Try to get to bed a little earlier even if it means just being in bed and resting
• Set a ‘caffeine cut off ‘time after lunch
• Take some time during the day to go for a walk around the block and if that’s not possible just get out into the fresh air for a short while
• Try to do at least 30 minutes of physical activity even if it’s broken into 3 chunks of 10 minutes, stair climbing, and housework count.
• Consider buying noise cancelling ear plugs to get some respite from the noisy street and snoring husband-but you will still be able to hear your grandmother and high frequencies such as an alarm clock
• Freshen room with lavender/camomille or wash your clothes using Lenor
• Try placing a pillow between your legs to help optimise your sleep position and help reduce your back pain

It is very interesting to see that in print , 'busy looking after everybody but herself' I really need to do all of these as I am three months in to my caring role and want to continue to do it well, plus function in all other areas.

Some are very easy to do immediately, cutting caffeine, buying earplugs and camomile room spray are happening from now. 

Lenor sent me a sleep sack to further help, the items are proving very beneficial. I have one to giveaway to a lucky reader too.

Yorkshire Linen Co Review

Having moved recently to a new home its always a time when the designs and colour schemes tend to change. Yorkshire Linens have asked me to review their website and some of the items, so sent me a duvet cover set to review, perfect timing too!
I am pretty tied up with my caring role so have not the free time now to shop til I drop.
More online buying is needed for household purchases.  

Conor's bedroom is small and needs a bold print. Due to the immensely busy life we are all leading each room is a work in progress and have just been painted in cream to give a fresh look until we decide what we want.

So I chose a design called Woodland Charcoal and Black firstly to complement the cream and enliven the plain walls, but more to allow Conor to choose accessories that are suitable for a teen, fast becoming a young man.

It would be equally good in a female bedroom

Its a modern design of tree silhouettes the layering of the trees gives a sense of a woodland. It lifts the room we think. Conor loves it, I had not told him it was arriving and wanted it all set up before he saw it.

What is really good about Yorkshire Linens are the prices, choice and quality combined.

This duvet is £11.99, a bargain price, but the duvet is a good quality, very easy to iron and my required need for it to be safe to tumble dry is also met. 

I have been looking around the site and the range is pretty immense, not only bedding, but cushions, curtains, towels and other household items are all available. The prices are great. Free delivery when you spend £50 or more and only £3.95 otherwise.

What appeals to me is their ethos, they

are a family run business and promote the values of a family business of being caring and supportive to all members of staff within the company.

The customer is of paramount importance to The Yorkshire Linen Company and they say they pride themselves on providing an extremely high standard of customer care. If it is physically possible they will do all they can to get what the customer wants when the customer wants it.

I am looking forward to having a look at more of the company both service and goods.
