The Kiddies Do Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester

November 20, 2018 By in Kids Section Tags: , , , , , , , 24 Comments

We had the opportunity to spend the day at Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester the other weekend, and it was a lot of fun. It was few days after the twins’ birthday. They turned 5 and we usually visit Legoland Manchester in their birthday week, we have done so for 4 years now. So off we went on this Saturday. We were a group of 9 with my sister and her family.

Fun Times in Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester

It was so much fun as always. The kids all had amazing time. Having their 3 cousins around added extra fun to the day, and together they explored Lego. There was a lot to see and I think we adults had a nice time too. It was good to get out of the house and watch the kids have a blast! I think Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester is a great family day out location, especially in the winter months when it is too cold to do much outdoors.

A Few Issues

Legoland was busy as usual on that day. We had to wait for some minutes before we got in but it wasn’t too long thankfully. The service was good as always. We didn’t have to wait too long to get on the rides which was good. We got on all 3 rides, and the kids had time to explore the soft play area as well as other activities. It was a good day out for sure.

One of the issues I had was the movie showing was in 2D instead of 4D. There was a message explaining the issue they were having with the screens, but we found it really disappointing that we couldn’t enjoy the movie in 4D. But we could see feel and see some of the effects, which was ok in the end.

Another thing I found was that parents just let their kids run wild in the soft play area and do whatever they want. I noticed many kids with their shoes on in the soft play area. There were also many older kids that were too old to be in there, but were in there anyways. And there were just some kids that were just being kids, but needed their parents to put them right, and the parents were too busy chatting or scrolling on their smartphones to notice. I don’t understand why many parents completely ignore their kids in soft play area but that is story for another post. Back to some of the lovely shots I got on my iPhone at Legoland.

Overall, we all had a lovely time, especially the kids. And I know we will be visiting Legoland again very soon. We would love to visit the Legoland in Windsor one of these days. I have heard a lot about the park and saw quiet a bit of it in The Mummy Diaries with Sam and Billie Faiers. I would love to explore it with the kiddies. That should happen in the summer hopefully.

My Postpartum Hair Loss Experience

September 21, 2018 By in Lifestyle, True Stories Tags: , , , , , , , , 29 Comments

I heard about how long and thick the hair becomes whilst pregnant. So that was one of the changes I was looking forward when I pregnant with the kiddies. About 3/4 months into my pregnancy, I noticed my hair was becoming longer and fuller, and I loved it. My hair was very unhealthy before I became pregnant, so I this hair growth was badly needed. But few weeks after delivery, I started experiencing hair loss. The beautiful hair I was excited about started to fall off!

The shock of losing my hair!

I was so confused at first because I wasn’t expecting to lose the hair. The pregnancy books I read did not warn me about that, so I wasn’t prepared to see my long hair falling off in clumps. I felt helpless and annoyed. My hair was pretty much back to how it was before I conceived and I was devastated.

 

Postpartum hair loss.

After doing some research, I found out that postpartum hair loss is quite common. However not all women would experience this hair loss, and the experience can vary from pregnancy to pregnancy. Even though it is pregnancy related, losing huge clumps of hair still sucks. The term for this side effect of pregnancy and childbirth is Postpartum Alopecia, and about 90 percent of women will experience it.

Picturing 90 percent of women dealing with a form of postpartum hair loss is serious. Some cases will be most severe than others. And it makes me wonder why the hormones have to play up so much for us women. Hair loss is just one of the many changes I had to deal with after pregnancy. I also struggled with Hyperpigmentation, with my skin going many shades darker in my last trimester and staying almost that way until about a year ago.

 

What did I do?

I did a lot of reading and research on what to do about my hair loss. I considered having Advanced Tricho Pigmentation treatment done at a point. This is a treatment for those who are noticing thinning or balding hair. I also looked into various hair care products to reduce the hair loss.

After extensive research, I decided to relax and take my mind off my hair situation. I maintained a healthy lifestyle and slowly but surely my hair started to grow back. And thanks to my natural hair routine, it didn’t take too long to get my hair back to where it was before.

My hair is still a work in progress and I will be updating you in my next natural hair journey post. If you are dealing with hair loss and want to spice up your look, you could try installing hair toppers. They work great for those dealing with hair loss.

Getting a great night sleep in collaboration with Leesa Mattress

July 12, 2018 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , 29 Comments

Quality sleep is very important which is why we need to ensure we all get a great night sleep every night. I work extremely hard during the day, like most people do juggling all sorts. So I do look forward to my bedtime every night. And the last thing I would need is to have toss and turn for hours before I finally drift off.

If I don’t get a great night sleep, I wake up feeling like a Zombie. And I pretty much continue to feel that way until around 3pm. Which means my whole day is gone with me achieving nothing. So how do I ensure I get great night sleep every night to stay productive? I pay attention to my room decor and everything else in it. So my bed, bed sheets, duvet, my mattress, the room has to smell good, it has to be airy and put me in the right mood for sleep. I also pay attention to my sleep clothes, so they have to be comfy and smell good (Yes I have a thing for smells).

We have had our old king size mattress for 8 years now, and we have been thinking of changing it. So you can imagine my excitement when I got my hands on this Leesa Mattress.

Leesa Mattress

Before I tell you all about this amazing Leesa Mattress, let me tell a bit about the brand. This amazing brand offers consumers an easy way to purchase any size of mattress online. Each Leesa Mattress is built to order and delivered within 5-7 working days. If you are unhappy with the Leesa Mattress, you can return it and get a full refund as long as it is within 100 nights. So you can shop Leesa and be confident that you will get your money’s worth or get a refund. Isn’t that amazing?

Leesa Mattresses are designed to help people get a great night sleep and that is exactly what it has done for me. It is very different in the sense that the top layer is made of Avena foam, which allows airflow through the mattress for a cooler nights sleep. It also provides enough bounce for freedom of movement.

My thoughts on the Leesa Mattress

  1. The Package

Myself and M struggled to understand how a king sized mattress could fit so easily into the box. But this Leesa Mattress was indeed king size! It was also very easy to set up. I did it myself and I am usually not good at any sort of DIY, regardless of how straight forward it is but I found setting up the mattress very easy. As soon as I got the Leesa Mattress out of the box, it came to life, becoming a king size mattress before my very eyes! It looked so cool.

 

2. The Look

Compared to my old mattress, this Leesa Mattress looked really pretty on its own. I was almost tempted not to lay bed sheets on it. That was how pretty I thought it looked. The design of the cover is nice. way prettier than the plain mattresses we see around.

 

3. The Comfort

I love how this Leesa Mattress feels. It is super comfortable. The unique combination of three foam layers (5cm Avena Foam, 5cm Memory Foam and 15cm Support Foam) adapts to the body, providing optimum support and comfort.

 

4. Made in the UK

The Leesa Mattress is made entirely in Glossop, Derbyshire UK. I love supporting British brands so this is important to me.

5. Leesa Gives Back

I love brands that give back to the society and Leesa is one of them. The brand donates one mattress to charitable causes, for every ten sold!

Overall, I really like my new Leesa Mattress. It have had a great night every night now and I have forgotten how uncomfortable my old mattress felt.

If you are in search of a new mattress to help you sleep better, I would strongly recommend the Leesa Mattress. I have an offer code – FASHIONANDSTYLEPOLICE for you to use on the Leesa Website. You will get £100 off with that discount code.

Happy shopping!
