Relaxation in Pregnancy and Beyond with Zita West

Gifted¦ At 26 weeks of pregnancy, I am definitely needing little luxuries and self-care. Perhaps more so as I suspect I have pelvic girdle pain (ugh) and am being referred to a physiotherapist. I’d never previously heard of Zita West, but I was recently sent some products to try out. The Zita West Fertility Clinic in London is an IVF clinic with a full range of fertility treatments. Their product range caters to women trying to conceive, as well as supporting them through pregnancy and the postpartum period. Keep reading to see what I tried and how I got on!

Review: Virustatic Shield, face masks for all the family

Review – Gifted¦ I was so pleased when lockdown was finally put in place in the UK earlier this week. It was much needed to protect our NHS and the most vulnerable in our society. I hope everyone reading this is safe and well and, of course, following the rules. That isn’t to say that it isn’t without its challenges. I’m worried enough about the next time my husband goes shopping, let alone those amongst my friends and family who work in schools, retail, distribution and care work. Whichever bracket you fall into, hopefully this review will help you. Over the last couple of days, we’ve been trying out Virustatic Shield face masks to help protect us from coronavirus (COVID-19).

The current situation aside, I really enjoyed wearing some classic country pieces from Rydale and channelling my inner Kate Middleton.

Zog and The Highway Rat at Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater

In the current climate, it seems really odd that only last weekend we were at the cinema. It’s certainly felt like longer than a week with all the news and tension. However, our last cinema trip for the foreseeable future was a lovely experience. Last Saturday, we were invited to see a screening of Julia Donaldson’s Zog and The Highway Rat at Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater. Autumn, Dave and I were really excited to see it and relax in the luxurious reclining chairs that make the cinema experience so much better!

Review (Gifted)¦ Last minute Mother’s Day shopping? ARRAN Sense of Scotland could be just the place for you to look. With luxurious products from, and inspired by, the beautiful Isle of Arran, she’ll be able to close her eyes and feel the pressures of the world melt away. Their products are cruelty free, they use natural ingredients and are actively trying to reduce their carbon footprint. These are the kind of ethics I love to see behind a company. As such, I was happy to try out some of their gift range for women and share my thoughts with you.
