    [AD] I was recently offered the opportunity to review the Vortex air purifier with hot and cold fan from @hot5nap I was extremely grateful for this as the coworking space I run can get very cold over the weekend when we are not open. 

Also as it's an extremely old building there is also no central heating. The electric heaters that we use are fine but it takes far too long to heat the room after the weekend often taking until midday to feel warm enough. 

I've written a full review over on the blog so hit the link in my bio if you're interested to see if the Vortex Air Purifier lives up to its claims that it can heat a room in 5 minutes.

    Adding wall murals to your home is a really quick and easy way to bring nature indoors and give your physical and mental health a boost. 

When we look at images of nature it has been proven to have benefits on our mental health and physical wellbeing. It lowers our stress levels, tension, anxiety, anger and confusion. It also lowers our blood pressure and heart rate and helps us to feel mentally and emotionally restored and less fatigued.

Find out more about the benefits of nature-inspired mural wallpaper on the blog.

    [AD] I've never decorated a home office before. Christmas is always such a rush after all our family birthdays in the preceeding weeks that I barely manage to get the living room decorated. But this year I decided to start early so it's not all such a manic panic come mid December.

So this means I have even had time to give my office a magical makeover working in collaboration with @veryuk

Very had everything I needed in the perfect colour palette so decorating my office for Christmas was super easy and fun. I was also really surprised just how affordable everything was. 

I used lots of decorations that include lights to add some twinkle to the room and it feels like a magical winter wonderland in here now. What do you think? 

Have you ever decorated your home office for Christmas? Would you consider it?

    [AD] My girls love making smoothies so we always have some frozen fruit in the freezer ready for when they want to whizz up their favourite juicy fruit smoothie. 

In an attempt to reach my 5 a day I've been trying to take a breakfast smoothie to the office with me so I can start my day the right way. This only happens when I'm organised in the morning...otherwise it's coffee πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

And because this travel mug from @blackblumdesign is completely leak proof and fits in the car cup holder it is super convenient. 

Do you take a smoothie or a coffee for your commute?

    [AD] I've always been really terrible at meal prep. I'm just not very organised when it comes to planning ahead with food. So I inevitably end up having to buy a sandwich for lunch which is not only expensive in terms of money, but it's also not great to think of all that single use plastic I'm getting through and how unhealthy pre-packaged sandwiches are. It's a lose-lose-lose situation. 

A few months ago I decided to try harder to be healthier, to save money and to cut down on single use plastic. I was excited to see that @blackblumdesign had launched a new range of glass lunch pots and a new lunch bag. This looked like the perfect motivation to make some eco-friendly changes to my lunch habits. 

I've done a review of the new glass lunch collection over on the blog if you'd like to have a read. You can also watch the interview I did with founder Dan Black talking all about his vision for the company and telling me about the new range.
