Luxury lingerie at Next

We've all got those places where we head to for those day to day essentials, from which we go back time and time again as we know they'll serve us well. My place for underwear has always been M&S just because I knew I'd get something of good quality. Since attending a private Next lingerie event, my thoughts have now changed.

Greeted by lovely Next employees and some delicious pink lemonade and cupcakes, we were surrounded by a vast selection of luxury lingerie sets, multi packs and also some sets that you'd never think Next would sell (including the one pictured above). In conjunction with the charity Coppafeel this event was not only to raise awareness of Next and their beautiful underwear, but breast cancer and for women to regularly check themselves.

A cheeky massage before being measured for my perfect bra was a must, and the massage angels were amazing. Before our fitting we had a chat about Nexts mission statement and given some shocking facts like, did you know 80% of women wear the wrong size bra? Say what?! I couldn't believe that statistic. Next want to raise the awareness of their lingerie range and be as popular as their rival M&S. With all its bras made with brushed cups and luxury fabrics, I have faith that Next will sooner rather than later be recognised for their undergarments as much as their clothing.

We were taken into the changing rooms one at a time along with a bra fitting trained specialist to be fitted into a bra that is our correct size. Of course I was wearing the wrong size, a whole 2 inches and one cup size wrong. All Next bra styles have a name to make it easy for us ladies to find several bras in the same style which is a simple yet a fantastic idea. I walked around for ages having a real look at all of the variety until I came across a bra that just for me, stole the show.

I tend to go for black underwear (black everything really) so as soon as this black lace number with the fancy elastic straps across the breast area was brought to my attention, i knew it had to be mine. Beautiful detailing and so comfortable, I just wish they did it in several colours (by which I mean nude and white, and maybe grey).

Such a lovely event and with focus on such an important topic, I highly advise you all to have a mooch around the Next lingerie section. You won't regret it!

For The Love Of Cucumbers and Skincare

AD with Yes To Good morning and happy National Cucumber Day! I love cucumbers! There, I said it. I like to eat them, drink them in juices and smoothies, and even like them in my skincare routine. Over the last couple of months I've really struggled with my skin. Getting hard lumps under the skin, and rash like breakouts that were super persistent and refused to die down. I thought about whether or not I was using too many different products and clogging up my skin, or it was just down to stress or something. All I knew was that I had to give something a go and hope for it to work it's magic on my problem skin as it was getting me down. What a day to share my love of cucumbers and my love of the Yes To Cucumber range with you cuties. Make yourself a cheese (vegan cheese if you're like myself) and cucumber sandwich and take a read about a range you'll want try! It may shock you to see an entire range made with cucumbers, but it's actually a

A November Book Haul

contains pr products, *aff My obsession with books and reading is still going strong guys! Since my post way back outlining how I was getting back into ready ... I think was back in 2018 and here we are. I've smashed my Goodreads goal of reading 50 books this year, and I'm actually closer to achieving 100 books read. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself but, I'd LOVE to get there. Anyway, books are a huge part of my life now. And even though I like everyone go through slumps where I don't want to read anything, when I am in the reading mood I normally have a few on the go at the same time and have turned into a big mood reader. Which I've found actually helps me get through books so much quicker. As a member of the Book Break Insiders Influencer group, I am lucky enough to be sent a selection of books every month. Which helps to keep my nose is a book that's for sure! Book 1: The Silence by Don DeLillo* A timely and compelling novel about what ha

How To Read More & What I Read In May

*gifted items and affiliate links Hi mates, it's been a while! So, I've had quite a few requests to create a blog post all about how I read so much. Don't get me wrong there are loads of people out there that read way more than me. But I average 4 books a month, however with lockdown in the UK I've been able to rack up my monthly average. Let's just jump straight in to how I read as much as I do. 1 ~ Choose books you WANT to read This sounds super obvious, however I myself have been known to follow book trends and pick up a book because it's all over the gram, or because my favourite influencer has told me to read it. Doing so can result in books you just don't get in the flow of reading and books you don't want to actively pick up. Know what genres you like to read. Know what authors you like and do some digging to make sure you pick wisely. Sometimes you will be disappointed with a book that you feel you should of enjoye
