Cooling down post workout is a good way to avoid feeling tight. They can be done directly after working out or later in the day. It is thought, that stretching can be effective at any stage post workout. Ideally you should always finish off a workout with a short cool down, no matter how long the session was. Here are some ideas for performing your cool down. Stretches need to be held for 40secs or more to be effective.
The ‘Spring Forward’ clock change is almost upon us. But are you wondering why you're still feeling too tired to fully enjoy the springtime? Children's Sleep Expert, Natalie Preston, is here to give us her top tips on how we can all prioritise sleep better so that we're 'Spring-ing' out of bed each morning.
Spring is here – hooray! You’ve started to embrace the sun and stopped to smell the flowers. But at the same time your bedroom is itching for a spring clean. Not sure where to start?

The Artist Residence Hotel in Victoria was feeling summery, with our launch of the “Summer of Linen.” We invited a few of our blogger friends to come down, and enjoy an evening of relaxation – and experience the ultimate wind down.
From centre stage on The Voice to our cosy interview bed, we were delighted to invite Lucy O’Byrne to talk about life and her debut album, conveniently named “Debut”. You can pick up her album right now! You can find out where you can grab a copy for yourself by checking out her website. We’ve had it on repeat in our office and are loving it.
With spring on its way, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel! With warmer months comes spring cleaning – a top to bottom household cleanse we know you’re secretly looking forward to. But why wait when you can start your cleaning frenzy now?
It only seemed right that this Christmas our ‘In Bed With…’ was with none other than the brains behind Soak&Sleep Charlie Hunt. Charlie came up with the idea (previously Duvet and Pillow Warehouse) in 2006, and had the simple aim to sell directly from a warehouse, meaning that he could cut prices by around 40%. So he set up shop in his spare room at home, and the rest is history.
When we think of a bed, most of us in the UK would imagine something involving a mattress covered by a sheet, a duvet, and a couple of pillows – a simple and comfortable set-up. This style of bedding, however, is actually a fairly recent import to Britain, replacing centuries of bother with piles of sheets, blankets, and eiderdowns.
For this month’s ‘In Bed With…’ we caught up with award winning blogger and interiors stylist Sarah Akwisombe. Sarah’s interiors mission is to ‘help people find confidence to show their true personality through their home styling,’ and she’s doing a mighty fine job (if we do say so ourselves).
Some mammals sleep for up to 22 hours per day, while others only need 3 hours of shut eye! Us humans fall somewhere in the middle at a reasonable average of 8 hours per day. So which would you rather be? A sleepy Koala bear or a more animated Giraffe?
