Is a Cork Floor the Best Option for Your Home?

Bricoflor Eis White Cork Flooring

For any of you who are longtime readers of my blog, you will surely know about my love affair with cork. It is one of my all-time favourite materials for so many reasons and after I visited the cork harvest in Portugal back in 2019, I became an even bigger fan of this natural, sustainable and versatile material.

[AD] I've suffered from allergies ever since I was small. I am allergic to animals and dust and after having my first daughter I also developed hayfever. It's coming up to allergy season now and I've been thinking about how much I don't just want to medicate myself through it. I'd been wondering how effective air purifiers are at relieving the symptoms of allergy sufferers.

I applied for an opportunity to review the @hoover_uk Air Purifier 700 with humidifier and diffuser. It is recommended by the British Allergy Foundation so I had high hopes. It is also Wi-Fi enabled and can be operated via the hOn app. 

If you would like to find out how I got on with it and whether it helped alleviate my allergy symptoms, click the link in my bio to read my full review.

[AD] Today is World Sleep Day, a day to celebrate quality sleep worldwide. Sleep is a foundational pillar of physical, mental and emotional health. And our beds are obviously a fundamental contributing factor to the quality of sleep that we get, particularly given that we spend a third of our lives in bed. 

However, beds offer many benefits above and beyond comfort and support. Over on the blog, I have explored five benefits to be had if you opt for an ottoman bed. These flexible and versatile beds are the perfect choice if you live in a small home, like me, and need the added benefits that they offer.

[AD] I was sent the @briiv.natural air purifier which I blogged about and shared last week. You can find the post by hitting the link in my bio. 

When the device first arrived I recorded a little unboxing video in my office showing how easy it was to set up. Wanna come take a look?

I have become somewhat obsessed with texture in home interiors over the past few years. I think it started when everything became so digital and it definitely strengthened during the pandemic when we were actively encouraged not to touch anything. Add biophilic design into the mix and I just want my home to be filled with gorgeous tactile textures.

Over on the blog, I have written a post featuring some of my favourite textured wall tiles. Pop on over to see all the other gorgeous images that I couldn't squeeze into this carousel post.

[AD] A few weeks ago I was sent the @briiv.natural air purifier to try out. What really attracted me to this was the fact that it doesn't look like a typical air purifier. In fact, it looks more like a designer terrarium.

I also really like the fact that it is so compact and can fit into any part of the home or office. 

It's also extremely sustainable, natural and eco-friendly. It is powered by plants and has the equivalent air purifying power of having 3043 plants in the room. 🤯

I've written up a full review of the briiv air purifier over on the blog so click the link in my bio and select this image to be taken straight there.

I don't remember the exact moment that I fell in love with plants, but I do remember noticing how good they made me feel. The more plants I surrounded myself with, the happier I felt. Now that is not to say that I am any good at looking after them. I'm really not. So I have to carefully choose which ones I buy so I don't end up living in a plant graveyard. (I recently killed my air plant...WTAF?).

And there is heaps of research to prove that surrounding ourselves with plants is good for our mental health and wellbeing and can be an effective mechanism for dealing with stress.

Over on the blog I am sharing 8 houseplants that can boost your mood according to @botonygeek James Wong. 

Hit the link in my bio and select this image to be taken to the post. And let me know in the comments which houseplant boosts your mood. I'm going for the Monstera. his is not based on science, just my own emotional response :-)
