Autumn is here and it is my favourite season as you should all know by now (because I don’t shut up about my love for Autumn, hehehe). I love the gradual transition from summer to winter, and I enjoy the transition weather a lot.

There are so many things about this season that I love but if I have to narrow my top 5 things I love about Autumn, here is how I would list them –

Chilled Evenings

I love how chilled out everywhere is during Autumn. After the hustle and bustle of summer with barbecues, picnics, holidays and people just all over the place, it is a breath of fresh air to just sit back and enjoy relaxing/chilled out evenings with my Sky Tv. The chilled evenings also make room for some me time with my personal grooming assistants – I like to have many bubble baths with my Yankee Candles burning in the background. I like to enjoy a massage with my massaging gadget, I like to relax and enjoy a manicure and pedicure with my mani/pedi gift set, and I like to shave my legs with my new epilator.

I have my evenings planned out this season and I plan to make the most of them.

 

Colour Change in Leaves

The colour change in leaves is so beautiful, I love it so much. The vibrant ambers, reds and yellows of Autumn is the best sight ever!

 

Chilly Weather

After the heat wave we experienced this summer, the chilly weather is needed. I like the fact that it is not too warm or too cold in Autumn, it is just perfect. The chilly weather is one of the best things in Autumn.

Autumn Fashion

I love Autumn Fashion as you all know already. The transition to layering style is so cool. I like the fact that I can throw on and off layers when needed.

 

The Darkness

It is getting dark already and I am not usually a fan of the darkness but as soon as I became a mother, I began to cherished the shorter days and longer nights because it is a lot easier to get the kids in bed at night, and get them to wake in the morning at a good time. Unlike in summer when it is still very bright at bedtime (7pm), my kids sometimes find it very difficult to understand that it is actually bed time, and then the sun comes out so early, they think it is their wake up time or what they call “morning time”. Good not to have to deal with that during Autumn/Winter.

Creating A Relaxing Bedroom Environment

Sometimes life happens and the bedroom kind of takes the back seat in our lives. We are too busy living and chasing paper, we forget some of the things that truly matter. I have always spoken openly about how important my bedroom is to me. I think bedrooms are the most private rooms in any house, and they are meant to be relaxing. And that is the reason why many people are against having some form of entertainment in the bedroom, like TVs and games for example. 

Having the right bedroom environment would put you in a relaxing mood instantly. So clean, fresh smelling bedding, well laid bed, well aired room, and some burning candles, would help create a relaxing bedroom environment.

A relaxing bedroom environment can do wonders for your libido, as you can imagine. Research has shown that many couples struggle with erectile dysfunction, and many are as a stress, depression, anxiety and relationship problems. Having a relaxed bedroom is the first step in sorting out any erectile dysfunction issues, and is the first step to having a healthy sex lifestyle and a healthy lifestyle in general, because our beauty sleep plays a vital role in our overall health.

Sexy Nightwear

Here are some tips for creating a relaxed bedroom environment:

Keep the Bedroom Clean and Tidy

Keeping the bedroom clean and tidy is the first time in creating the perfect bedroom environment. If you know me well enough, you will know I am unable to think when my bedroom is upside down. I like my bedroom and every other room clean and tidy every time, except when the kids are trashing the living room. Also, fresh bedding make me drift off to sleep quickly, and a bed mist always helps.

 

Open the Windows

I like to have the windows open whenever I can. Fresh air in the room helps me relax and clears my head. There is nothing quite like it!

 

Burn the Candles

I like burning candles in the bedroom for a few hours during the day. It leaves the entire house smelling amazing. I am currently stuck on Yankee Candles. I am loving every fragrance.

 

Clean Pyjamas/Nightwear

A clean pair of pyjamas or a night-dress helps me feel relaxed. Just like I love my fresh bedding, I also love my fresh night-wear. I am currently loving the Jockey nightwear pieces I have on here. They are amazing for the summer season.

Minimal Entertainment

Keeping entertainment to a minimal (if you must have some form of entertainment in the room) is a good idea, and also  try to reduce whatever the entertainment is at bedtime.

 

So there you have them; my tips for a relaxing bedroom environment. What do you think? Do you have any tips to add?

Please sound off in the comment section, lets talk.

Thanks for reading and have a fantastic day, enjoying the sun. I know I will, I am off to a BBQ later in the day.

This candle smells a lot like oranges, so if you love the sparkling aroma of oranges, you would love this Yankee Candle. I have recently fallen in love with candles in general, and so far, so good, I am sold on Yankee Candles. I have tried a few now, and I think they are the best in the market, and they are loved by many, so I thought they would make a lovely giveaway.

Yankee Candles come in a variety of sizes and fragrances, so you are usually spoilt for choice, but I find the Orange Splash Yankee Candle very delicious, for lack of a better word.

I find candles very relaxing. My idea of good ‘me time’ is; a nice warm bubble bath, with a good book, a nice glass of Prosecco, warm indoor lightening, and a sweet-smelling candle. Candles play a major role in my relaxation time, they help me unwind and leave my home smelling amazing. Are you a candle lover? Then this giveaway is for you.

The rules of this giveaway are very simple as always:

  1. Follow me on Twitter.
  2. Retweet this post.
  3. Leave a comment telling me how you like to relax and remember to leave your Twitter name, very important.

This giveaway is open to ALL. It ends on 16th May at 10pm. The winner will be chosen at random and announced on Twitter, the following day, so keep your eyes peeled.

Good luck everyone, and if you are in the UK, enjoy the bank holiday.
