AD - GIFTED | Is there anything better than new lingerie? Whilst you certainly don’t need a reason to upgrade your collection by buying a new lingerie set, it's definitely a good excuse to treat yourself, whether you're single or with a partner. 

Lingerie doesn't need to be ridiculously uncomfortable or expensive! There are so many brands out there who offer gorgeous sets are an affordable price, it would be silly not to freshen up your collection and add some new pieces. Just like you would update your clothes wardrobe when fashion trends change or things don't fit well anymore, you should update your lingerie collection regularly as well.

5 REASONS TO UPDATE YOUR LINGERIE COLLECTION NOW

1. Improves body confidence
Wearing a beautiful, well-fitting set of lingerie is bound to make you feel good and look good too! Building your self-confidence is the first step to feel comfortable with your body and in your own skin. Simply choosing the right lingerie styles for your body type could be all that's needed to help you feel 10/10.

2. Try new styles to flatter your body type
Right now there are so many styles and shapes of lingerie, with bras running from small-cup sizes to fuller-bust and bottoms in a range of styles from thongs, shorts and high-rise knickers, there is always something for everyone! By choosing lingerie from affordable brands, this will give you the chance to try a whole range of styles and shapes, so you can work out with ones you prefer and which ones flatter your body type.

3. Improves fits of clothes
Sometimes you might not feel confident in the outfits you put together for work, to see friends, or even just to chill at home, and that could just be down to your lingerie choices. Pieces that are too small or too big can alter the way clothing fits on the body and make them appear uncomfortable and unflattering, so it's important to wear the right lingerie pieces with the right outfit!

4. Try new colours
When you open your lingerie draw, is it all just a bunch of discoloured and over-washed items you've had for ages? Well now could be the perfect time to have a freshen up. Out with the old, in with the new! Lingerie comes in so many beautiful colours these days, it's definitely hard to make your mind up whilst your shopping. From beautiful bold shades to delicate pretty pastels, as well as your basic black, whites and nude shades, the choices are endless!

5. Better health
You may be wondering how updating your wardrobe can improve your health. But did you know a lot of women actually wear the wrong size bra? Wearing the wrong size bra can be incredibly uncomfortable but it can also damage your health. From causing breast/back pain to premature sagging, poor posture and skin problems, an incorrectly fitted bra can cause a number of issues that can affect your day-to-day-health. So with all this is mind, it's extremely important to get measured regularly and update your lingerie collection accordingly.

Introducing Tutti Rouge
This year I've definitely been getting rid of some lingerie pieces that either I don't like anymore, things that have been worn a few times too many or just pieces that don't fit as well as they used too. I was very kindly gifted some pieces from Tutti Rouge to add to my collection and I am extremely happy and impressed with what I have received. Tutti Rouge began its work in the summer of 2012, and are recognised by supporting/promoting fuller busts, with expertise in sizing from a DD and upwards, by helping those who have struggled to find supportive and comfortable bras in their sizes.

Tutti Rouge Lingerie Lace Bralettes
Tutti Rouge Lingerie Lace Bralettes

The first piece I chose from the website was the 2pk Duo Lace Bralettes*. These bralettes come in both black and white, which are ultimate lingerie collection staples. For me, triangle-style bralettes are a must have for everyday wear as they are so comfortable, yet flattering on the body, whatever shape and size you are. These bralettes feature adjustable straps which enhance the support levels and make for a better fit. The attention to detail on these bralettes is incredible, the delicate lace is just so feminine yet sophisticated, the thick bands help with support, and the gold heart detail on the straps just adds something cute and finishes of the bralettes so effortlessly.

Tutti Rouge Lingerie Lace Briefs

Of course, updating your lingerie collection means you must have matching sets, so I also picked up the 2pk Duo Lace Brazilians*, again in black and white. This style of brief is perfect for everyday wear, as they are super flattering, super comfortable and super sexy! These briefs give a good amount of coverage and really help flatter your bottom half. I opted to pick these up in one size bigger than my usual size as these will feel more comfortable and flattering on the body. No one likes tight underwear that digs in and suffocates you!

Tutti Rouge Lingerie Lace Bodysuit

Finally, the last piece from Tutti Rouge is this gorgeous black lace Hallie Bodysuit*. I don't usually opt for bodysuits but this one is simply stunning. One of my favourite bodysuits! This bodysuit is very pretty, the black lace gives of very sexy, sophisticated vibes, and this piece can definitely be worn as both lingerie or as a more dressy styled top. Featuring an elasticated middle panel that pulls in your waist, and makes you feel so supported, secure and comfortable. Similar to the lace bralettes, this bodysuit also features the gold heart detailing on the straps that just add that luxe feel to the lingerie, and make it look incredibly expensive!

When was the last time you updated your collection and bought new lingerie?

 With Valentine's Day only a short time away, it's time to treat and invest in yourself by choosing some gorgeous, luxury lingerie pieces. Whether it's a single girl's night in, or you're in a happy, healthy relationship, selecting new lingerie can be extremely confidence-boosting, empowering and sexy – especially if your current underwear collection isn't too great.

Nowadays, there are so many brands out there who offer a whole range of stunning lingerie sets in a variety of styles and at affordable prices. Valentine's Day is a great opportunity to take the plunge and freshen up your lingerie collection, by adding some new styles or colours to your collection. You can never, ever, go wrong with a matching set. One of my favourite places online to get my hands on something new is Lounge Underwear. Not only do they have a great size range available, but they have a number of incredible designs, in a wide variety of vibrant colours – it's incredibly hard to not buy everything from the website!


When it comes to Valentine's Day, the first colour that comes to mind is red. Red is typically associated with love and romance, making it a great colour option for new lingerie. Red is a great option for all skin tones, and will make an incredibly bold, yet sexy addition to your collection. A new style from Lounge includes the Sustainable Liberty Balcony Bra & Thong Set in Red. Red lace is just absolutely stunning, and, the dainty rose gold ‘L’ charm detail just adds that extra little sparkle.

Lounge Underwear Lingerie

If red isn't your colour, then black lingerie is definitely a universal lingerie collection staple. Black is such a powerful option when it comes to lingerie sets, it's undoubtedly a confidence boosting colour, whatever your size or shape. It evokes a feeling of authority, elegance with some added sexiness. What's not to love? I opted for a new style from the website, and chose the Sustainable Vogue Balcony Bra & Thong Set in Black – featuring silver Lounge engraved hardware for that added sparkle, and a Soft stretch lace with Lounge jacquard mesh for added fine detail.

Lounge Underwear Lingerie

The next few lingerie sets I have selected are going to add some bold colour and vibrancy into your underwear collection, you will really be spoilt for choice here. First things first, cobalt blue – literally one of the most stunning colours I have seen in a long time. Sustainable Liberty Balcony Bra & Thong Set in Cobalt Blue. This set features some intricate floral stretch lace with scalloped edges, again, finished off with the rose gold Lounge engraved hardware and ‘L’ charms will definitely help you make a statement with your underwear choices.

Lounge Underwear Lingerie

My second super colourful addition to my Valentine's lingerie guide is green – a colour that will absolutely suit all skin tones, even from the very pale tones to the deep, rich tones. It's bound to be a winner with everyone, and that's why I had to add the Sustainable Vogue Balcony Bra & Briefs Set in Emerald to my basket. Lounge never miss out any details with their lingerie sets. The double Lounge branded banners adds quite a simple, sporty element to this lingerie set, but the lace really elevates it, to make it something really special.

Lounge Underwear Lingerie

Finally, something a little different, but still incredibly beautiful. Purple lingerie is very hard to come by in my opinion, but again, it's a very bold, feminine colour. When you mix both silk and lace within one lingerie set, it just gives off such sophisticated, classy and elegant vibes and that's exactly what you get with the Sustainable Silk Balcony Bra & Briefs Set in Purple. The intricate floral detailing on the lace panels of the underwired bra and briefs is super cute and girly, and will just make you feel incredible once you've put it on. The rose gold Lounge engraved hardware and 'L' charms really complement the purple shade, and give it that extra little something.

With Valentine's Day approaching, I thought it's the perfect excuse to treat myself to something new and sexy. New lingerie makes you feel super confident and boosts your self-love. So let's set hearts racing with a couple of stunning pieces from my latest SHEIN order. If you've never shopped on or heard of SHEIN before, I'll give you a little backstory. 

The brand was founded in October 2008, and since then it has upheld the philosophy that "everyone can enjoy the beauty of fashion". SHEIN prides itself on offering on-trend styles that won’t break the bank. So if you're looking to try out a new trend or are unsure if something will suit you, SHEIN is a great place to look as it's such an affordable website.

The first piece that I picked up from the website is this fun and flirty Floral Lace Lingerie Set. It's beautiful dusky dark pink/red colour with the floral patterns in white gives this set a really cute and girly touch. It's simply adorable. Featuring a wireless bralette style top and high waisted bottoms, this set is super flattering and perfect for all body shapes and sizes, it's a winner for me.

 If red is more your colour, this ultra sexy Criss Cross Floral Lace Teddy Bodysuit is your perfect lingerie piece that will definitely turn up the heat. This has to be the most bold and daring piece from my whole haul. The bodysuit is made from a gorgeous red lace material, with a criss cross strappy feature across the chest area. It takes sexy to a whole new level.

If you're a little bit more reserved when it comes to lingerie choices, but you still want to wear something that will boost your confidence and still look amazing, I also picked up a Scalloped Trim Floral Lace Bralette. This is hands down one of the comfiest bralettes I have ever worn. The material is super soft, the straps are wide and comfortable, it feels like silk on the body. The gorgeous, deep plum/purple colour is absolutely stunning, and you'll be able to pair any colour bottoms with them, for a cute mix and match look. This bralette is a style steal, and something I would 100% recommend to all.

 The final piece that I picked up was the Contrast Lace Lingerie Set. This set was definitely one of my favourites. I love the deep burgundy velvet fabric contrasting with the black floral lace. It's simply stunning. Again, it features a wireless bralette with high waisted bottoms that really enhance your curves.

Overall, I was very happy with the pieces that I purchased from SHEIN. I picked a variety of pieces from the website so I could get a feel for the quality, the designs and the sizing of the items. This time round, SHEIN absolutely smashed it - or maybe I smashed it as I took my time studying the size guide to make sure I picked the correct size. I was pleasantly surprised and was very happy with all the items that I picked up for this Valentines haul. The prices for each piece were so affordable, that this allowed me to try out a few styles that I wouldn't usually go for.

The Rose Thong* is all kinds of cute. This thong features intricate lace details on the side and a pretty pink/purple floral print pattern. The strappy strap at the top gives this thong a super sexy look once worn around the waist. It really flatters the body and draws attention to the waist, pulling and snatching you in, giving the illusion of a more curvier, hourglass shape.

We all know how good fitting underwear can make you feel more confident and feminine in our own bodies and whatever outfit we choose to wear. It just helps to flatter and show off our assets, and overall just make us feel happier in our appearance. So when you feel good on the inside, it reflects on the outside, so in this case its what you wear underneath that helps bring out that confidence and happiness!

Have you ever bought lingerie from House of Fraser? Does good fitting lingerie make you feel more confident and feminine?

AD - GIFTED| Looking to invest in some silk pyjamas but unsure of the benefits?

 We spend around one third of our lifetime sleeping and because sleep is so important for our health, you shouldn't deprive yourself of it. Not only should we invest in a comfortable and supportive bed, with good pillows and a mattress, but we should also be careful of the types of pyjamas and nightwear we wear. For those looking for a good night's sleep, silk pyjamas are a preferred choice for many reasons. Here are 5 reasons you need silk pyjamas in your wardrobe ASAP.
 

Silk pyjamas are a good nightwear choice all year round. Silk helps to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, helping you to achieve a better quality and more comfortable night's sleep. Silk pyjamas also helps to provide a constant body temperature whilst sleeping, to ensure you aren't constantly tossing and turning when you begin feeling too hot or too cold.

By choosing silk shirt pyjamas, it can help to keep your skin cool and comfortable, all night long. Silk is a natural fibre that's extremely soft and smooth. By wearing silk pyjamas, you're allowing your skin to breathe and feel calm. As silk is a hypoallergenic fabric, silk pyjamas help to resist allergens that may be found in pyjamas made of other materials such as cotton.

Silk pyjamas are a luxury, affordable style of nightwear that is preferred by a number of people. This style of nightwear is widely available in a number of high street or online stores, making it easily accessible for everyone.

With certain fabrics used to make pyjamas, there can some irritation and can leave the skin feeling sore, especially those suffering with sensitive skin. Silk pyjamas are a great choice for all as the soft and smooth texture of the material will leave your skin feeling happy and will reduce any skin irritation.

Finally, silk pyjamas are a good option for all, including young children, as they have fire-retardant properties - making them extremely safe and practical to wear to bed. In case of any fires or hazards during the night, silk simply burns straight into ash, making it a safer choice of fabrics to wear at night, as it will not stick to the skin in contact with fire or heat.

Introducing IDentity Lingerie

If you're looking for some gorgeous silk pyjamas - maybe something very similar to Victoria's Secret but better, look no further! IDentity Lingerie are a small family-run brand from Lincolnshire in the UK, offering a wide selection of environmentally friendly, ethical and handmade nightwear and good quality lingerie, made with sustainable materials. 

"Our purpose is to create stylish ethically made nightwear and lingerie for all body types. Having years of experience allows us to craft high-quality products with an impeccable stitch, a perfect design and the best materials. With so much attention to detail put into our products, they tend to last much longer and have a more comfortable fit."

IDentity Lingerie Pyjamas

The first set I chose from the website was the Japanese Silk Navy Short Pyjamas. These are a stylish silk pyjama set featuring a short sleeve shirt and matching shorts - a perfect option for the warmer months of the year. This pyjamas set is a beautiful rich navy blue colour with contrast white piping/buttons - the colour is simply stunning. I really like that the silk shirt has a slight oversized fit and just hangs nicely on the upper body. The shorts can be worn both high-or low waisted, depending on your preferred fit.

IDentity Lingerie Pyjamas

The second set I chose was the Japanese Silk Green Long Pyjamas. This is again another stylish pyjama set featuring a long sleeve shirt and matching trousers - a perfect option for the cooler months of the year. This pyjamas set is a beautiful deep forest green colour with contrast cream piping/buttons. The long pyjamas set is perfect for those nights where it is a little bit colder and you want to feel warm and cosy. The long sleeve shirt is the perfect fit - no one likes to wear tight tops to sleep! The pyjamas trousers are a super flowy, slightly wide-leg fit which makes them super comfortable and loose on the body.

Both of these pyjamas sets are in absolutely stunning colours, which I think would suit pretty much all skin tones. However, if navy or green aren't your preferred colour choices, these silk pyjama sets are also available in a number of other colours, including black, blush pink, gold, navy, white, green and purple.

 GUEST POST| After the glow of the honeymoon phase has faded, you may feel as though your relationship has got a little stale. You still love your partner, of course, but you may have fallen into a rut in the romance department. It’s completely natural for a relationship to shift over time, but you don’t have to settle for watching the passion slowly fade away. You don’t need a holiday or special occasion to add a little spark to your life. Here are 8 creative tips to renew the romance in your life.

relationship

1. Set up a self-care day.
When you’re feeling stressed and exhausted, romance is the last thing on your mind. Give your partner the gift of a day of rest and relaxation, and they may just thank you for it in a special way. Book a massage at your local spa, put together an at-home spa kit, or set them up with their favourite snacks and a stack of DVDs. However, your partner likes to relax, make it happen.

2. Share a homemade meal.
Nothing is more romantic than a candle-lit dinner, so throw on your apron and whip up your partner’s favourite meal. Pour yourselves a glass of red wine and spend the evening enjoying each other’s company. It’s the perfect time to check in with each other and to really focus on your special bond.

3. Write them a love letter.
When you’ve been with the same partner for a while, you develop a certain level of comfort. While it’s certainly a good thing to feel comfortable with your partner, sometimes couples find themselves falling out of the habit of really communicating. If you want to spark some romance in your relationship, write your partner a love letter. Remind them why you love them, recall cherished memories from the past, and maybe offer a little teaser of how you hope the night will end.

4. Upgrade your bedroom décor.
If things are feeling a little stale in the bedroom, switch it up – literally! Purchase some new pillows, upgrade your worn-out comforter, and add some soft lighting. When outfitting your bedroom, it’s important to consider both you and your partner’s personal taste, but really try to focus on making the space a cosy, comfortable place for the two of you to share.

cosy bedroom

5. Book a hotel room.
Sometimes it’s difficult to get in the mood at home, especially if your home is also your workplace. If you’re looking to rekindle some romance, book a hotel room for you and your partner to enjoy an overnight date. It’s the perfect chance to visit your favourite restaurant or order some room service and just enjoy the night together.

6. Surprise them with new lingerie.
Nothing sparks a little romance like new lingerie. Whether you’re donning it yourself or purchasing it for your partner, lingerie is a great way to shake things up in the bedroom. When choosing lingerie, the key to feeling confident is to find something that makes you feel good.

7. Show them how much you care.
Physical intimacy starts with emotional intimacy, and sometimes all someone needs to feel romantic is to be reminded how much their partner cares for them. Spend the afternoon tackling your partner’s to-do list, so they can spend the evening relaxing. Buy the groceries, wash the car, or do whatever it is they’ve been putting off, so they have the time and energy to enjoy a little alone time with you.

8. Address your own insecurities.
If things are lacking in the romance department in your relationship, take a good hard look at yourself to see if you can figure out why. Sometimes when our confidence is low, we distance ourselves from the people we care about, and it can create a rift in the relationship. Whether you’re struggling with erectile dysfunction, you’re dissatisfied with your bodyweight, or you have another issue entirely, do what you need to do to address it, and you may just see the results in the romance department.

Every relationship is unique, so don’t feel like the ideas on this list are your only options. Get creative, using these ideas as inspiration to come up with something your partner will appreciate. What matters most is that you care for each other, and you’re both wiling to work to keep the spark alive.

 AD - GIFTED | Many people have struggled through lockdown, not only with their day to day working life, but also their dating and social life has been pretty quiet and non-existent, due to the variety of restrictions that were put in place. But with many of those current rules easing, it is now much easier to get back on the dating scene and meet new people, now that we can meet outdoors, go to restaurants and enjoy some drinks at the pubs/bars. 

Lockdown has taught many of us to embrace ourselves, enjoy our own company and make more time for self care and self love. There are many ways how we can feel more confidence, more empowered and more sexually confident when starting to connect with others and begin dating again. Now we can finally go out and about and meet with others, you can now practice those new found skills in real life. Those awkward first dates and nervous giggles will be a thing of the past, as your new found confidence and empowerment will shine through.

FEMALE EMPOWERMENT QUOTE

It might not be something you think about when starting to date, but meeting new people safely can really help to develop your confidence and improve social skills. Dating sites and apps are increasingly helping to 'meet' safely via video calling or voice calling, helping you to grow closer and connect more easily. Whether that's the typical dating sites like Tinder and Hinge, or something a little different like mybdsmhookups or subsanddoms, whichever sites take your fancy, you're sure to meet people with similar interests to you and get to know them in a safe and fun way. Using dating sites before you finally meet in real life can really help you to feel less anxious, less nervous, and more comfortable, helping to increase your confidence levels and prevent those awkward conversations. Meeting safely is hugely important when starting to date again after a long time. You want to make sure the person you are meeting is genuine and that you will feel comfortable in their company. It's also important to meet in a familiar, safe area to avoid any unwanted problems or dangers.

For those prepping for their big first date, we obviously all want to make a great first impression and look our best. Using beauty salons for manicures or pedicures, getting your hair done at the hairdressers, and getting your brows/lashes done can help with body confidence, mental health and self-care.

When it comes to getting ready for your date, I'm sure we've all been there when your entire wardrobe ends up all over the bed because you have "nothing to wear". Picking cute outfits that you feel confident and comfortable in for date nights can give you that mood boost that you will need, especially if you are feeling anxious or nervous.

Socialising with others can help with mental health as lockdown has made many people feel isolated and lonely. Being around people increases your sense of happiness and well-being, helping to boost your mood and mind set, as well as allowing you to express your thoughts/feelings with others.


Is there anything better than new lingerie? It's empowering, confidence boosting and it makes you feel pretty good. Updating your lingerie collection could be exactly what you need whilst pursuing your body confidence journey. feeling more sexually confident by choosing beautiful and flattering underwear, which can also boost self esteem. There are so many shapes, sizes and styles of lingerie to pick from, there will definitely be something for everyone, and you'll be spoilt for choice!

If you usually play it quite safe on date night, it might be rewarding to choose a more unusual idea for your dates instead of something more generic like dinner and drinks. This can help you feel more confident and empowered, and pushes you out of your comfort zone by forcing you into the unknown. Date locations such as theme parks, crazy golf and other outdoor adventure activities might be worth looking into if you want something fun and different for your next date!

GET BLOGGED GOODIE BAG

Most importantly, it's necessary to make time for some self care and "me time". We all need to take a step away from reality and have some quality time for ourselves, to help relax, destress and clear your mind. I was kindly sent a parcel filled with female empowerment and mood-setting goodies which included the following items.

1. Lavender Pillow Spray* - This pillow spray is infused with Lavender; a powerful scent that is renowned for its calming and relaxing properties. This could help to reduce your sexual nerves if used in the bedroom, or to calm your anxiety.

2. Amber Noir Candle* - This candle has the most gorgeous, calming yet sexy scent. Deep, musky and sensual, this could be the perfect ambience setter for those bedsheet moments.

3. Empowerment Print* - By having a deep and meaningful quote to live by, it can help you feel strong, powerful, and overall, can help improve your outlook on life.

4. Wellness Journal and Pen* - Having somewhere to note down your thoughts, feelings and goals is all beneficial for personal growth and confidence boosting. Spending 5-10 minutes a day to make notes and spending time to reflect and grow.

Do you have any dates planned soon? What empowerment or body confidence tips do you have?
