Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow

When you think about how much time we spend in bed, it is so important to make sure you are comfortable, ensure your questions such as how high should my bed be, do I have the right mattress and pillow, all of which should help you get that restful nights sleep and of course, the temperature has to be right too.  

Below I have listed some of the amazing offers from Simba for Black Friday.

I am someone who doesn't sleep very well at all. I can drop off into the land of nod within minutes of a film starting, but I don't stay asleep and it is very annoying. Over the years I have changed my duvets, bought a weighted blanket, a mattress topper and just recently was given the opportunity to try the Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow.

The team over at Simba are masters in their own products and have a lot of advice to offer, whether it is how to take care of your Simba Double Mattress with items such as the european double mattress protectors  or even advice on what product you really need.

I have always used a mattress protector on my bed and mainly because the benefits outweigh the negatives, for example 

• Protects against odours.
• Prolongs the life of your mattress
• Improves mattress hygiene.
• Looks after your mattress.
• Is easy to keep clean.
• Prevents wear and tear

Alongside have a good protected mattress is having a good pillow and once you’ve found that perfect pillow, there is no going back. 

The Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow is said to be perfect for those of us who love a firm pillow and I definitely do. 

Lovers of firm pillows, this one’s for you. Discover the more supported sleep you’ve been dreaming of, thanks to an inner pillow of foam-enclosed Aerocoil® springs; just layer it up with the two softer pillows of Simba Renew in the order you prefer. Includes a cool, cotton cover with Stratos heat control tech.

For me, the best part of this pillow is that Stratos heat control tech, described as being an advanced technology that has been added to one side of the pillow cover. 

It’s designed to provide fabric with instant coolness to the touch, but it also enables it to draw away excess heat, keeping you cool and dry, Simba refer to it as being a sort of pillow thermostat. I really dislike a hot pillow, there is nothing worse than being woken up to have to turn your pillow over because it is too hot, so far with this one, I haven't had this issue!

The pillow also boasts of having:

• Two Simba Renew Pillows - Super-soft Simba Renew fibres cushion your head as gently as feather and down, but hold their shape rather than flatten over time.
• Breathable Mesh Border - A breathable mesh border enables fresh air to circulate through the pillow’s layers.
• Aerocoil® firm layer - A Hybrid layer of Simba Pure® foam and tiny, titanium alloy Aerocoil® springs keeps your head perfectly supported.
• 100% Better Cotton Cover - All of the cotton used by Simba is sourced via the Better Cotton initiative, which works to reduce the environmental impact of cotton production.

All of this aside, for me what I love about this pillow is that you can adjust the illow depending on how you sleep and it is a little big genius. As mentioned, inside the pillow you have 3 inner layers and by adjusting those to fit sleeping style helps you to find your preferred level of firmness as shown below:

It isn't difficult to see why people rave about Simba products, who knew that a pillow could make and offer so much improvement to a bedtime routine, even if you are not laying down to sleep, this pillow gives amazing lumber support whilst you are reading or watching a film too.

The Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow is usually priced at £159 but with Black Friday on the horizon it does now come with 25% off and if you want that comfortable nights sleep, this pillow is a purchase you will not regret!

CACI Mask Discovery Set

With all the running around, stresses, strains and queuing to be done in the run up to Christmas, one of the best gifts you can give to yourself is time for self-care and from Caci Beauty, this Mask Discovery Set (£30) gives you time to sit down, grab your TV remote control, load up a cheesy Christmas movie and relax.

I was first introduced to CACI a few years ago and their masks are simply super.  If you haven't come across them before, Caci as a brand is about achieving beautiful skin without surgery, no matter your age and for over 30 years they have been developing leading edge technology, synonymous with the ‘Non-Surgical Face Lift. As a brand, CACI is committed to providing skincare solutions that can slip easily into your daily skincare routine and make you look and feel the best version of yourself.

The first mask out of the box is the Hydro Mask and it is designed to hydrates, plump, smooth lines and wrinkles, and calm the skin.

This is one of the most soothing masks I have used.  Inside its packaging, this transparent gel mask comes in two parts, one for the upper part of your face and one for the lower part of your face, so it is really easy to use and it fits really well to all contours of the face.

Once on the skin, it is instantly soothing and calming as soon as it has been applied to the skin, and it is also infused with a whole series of ingredients. Those ingredients are collagen, hyaluronic acid and rose water which work to deeply nourish, soothe and provide intensive skin hydration, so if you have dry skin, then this is a mask you really should try. 

If you love a good eye mask, then you will love the Eye Revive Mask and this is also a transparent silicon gel eye mask which has a soothing and calming action on tired eyes

Unlike most eyes, this one doesn't just sit under the eye, it covers the entire orbital eye area, including the brows.  Once applied, this mask feels absolutely incredible and for anyone who suffers with tired, puffy eyes, then the soothing and calming action works wonders. 

Refreshing in every way, this eye mask is packed full of amazing ingredients such as Hyaluronic acid and Cucumber extract which work to deeply nourish, cool and moisturise the skin, Green Tea extract which helps to detoxify the skin and reduce puffiness, plus there is also Collagen to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The hands are probably one of the hardest working part of your body and often forgotten about, but not when it comes to this CACI Rejuvenating Hand Mask. 

Described as being a hydrating and nourishing pair of gloves which are perfect to use at home as part of your regular hand care routine and are perfecting for looking after your hands post-Christmas clean before the big day.

These hydrating and nourishing gloves contain powerful ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolysed Collagen and Shea Butter which work together to help combat the signs of ageing by softening the skin and smoothing the appearance of fine lines. After use, these Rejuvenating Hand Mask will leave your hands feeling soft, supple and re-hydrated, all for just 20 minutes of your time.

The last product I have to share from this Mask Discovery Set is the Purifying Silver Mask and I absolutely love this mask. 

Like the Hydro Mask detailed above, this mask also comes in two parts, one for the upper part of your face and one for the lower part of your face. The job  of this mask is to soothe, calm and improve the appearance of problematic skin. 

Infused with pure colloidal silver, which is known for its anti-bacterial properties, it works to help skin that is prone to blemishes and breakouts. There is also a combination of other key ingredients such as Aloe Leaf Extract, Seaweed Extract and Marine Collagen which work together to maintain healthy skin and a clearer complexion.  Again, instantly soothing, especially when it has been in the fridge for a few hours before use, it fits onto the contours of your face and doesn't budge and when I use it, after fully cleansing my face, I leave it to work its magic for around 20 minutes.

So there you have the CACI Beauty Discovery Mask Set which would make an incredible gift to yourself!

flânerie's Award-Winning Skincare Review

Today, I'm excited to introduce you to a brand that's new to me: the vegan skincare line, flânerie. At flânerie, the focus is on creating products that empower your wellness journey by offering a fully immersive sensory experience. From textures to scents, each product is designed to engage your senses while delivering both indulgence and effectiveness. They believe skincare should be more than just a routine—it’s a rejuvenating moment of self-care.

I was very kindly gifted two products to use the first is the Purifying Cleansing Powder and the second product is their Vivifying Serum. For me, one of the best things about blogging (influencing, whatever) is being introduced to brands that you might not have otherwise come across and brands like flânerie make all this a lot of fun and worthwhile.

Starting with the Purifying Cleansing Powder (£37), a gentle yet effective cleansing powder designed to clarify, calm, and soften the skin. Formulated with Green Tea Extract, rich in EGCG, it’s known for its anti-inflammatory properties and helps address redness, inflammation, and skin sensitivity, offering a soothing effect for irritated skin. The addition of Kaolin, a soft clay, aims to deeply cleanse and absorb impurities, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin, as it provides a thorough cleanse without irritation.

As someone with sensitive skin when it comes to Kaolin as an ingredient, I was initially cautious, as my skin typically reacts poorly to it—becoming red, blotchy, and itchy. To be safe, I did a patch test before using it, and thankfully, my skin didn't become all upset and angry.  Instead, I decided for the first few uses to try this cleansing powder on different parts of my face, still being cautious and other than my chin, which decided not to play ball and went slighty red after use, but everywhere else was totally fine and my skin was left feeling soft and smooth to the touch.

  

To use, you simply dispense a small amount of the powder into your hand and add water to create a foam. Massage the foam gently into your skin, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water for a fresh, clean feel.

The second product, the Vivifying Serum (£47), also known as Lily Bloom, is formulated to prevent and reduce the early signs of aging. This antioxidant-rich serum helps counteract the effects of free radicals, redefine the contours of your face, and stimulate cellular renewal for a more youthful appearance. The scent, inspired by the tranquillity of slow mornings, combines fresh, fruity, and floral notes of lily, orange, rose, and white musk, creating a soothing, uplifting fragrance.

This silky serum features three key ingredients, each chosen for their remarkable benefits:

• Hyaluronic Acid: Provides deep hydration, penetrating the skin to reveal a visibly more radiant complexion.
• Lotus Seed Extracts: Known for their balancing properties, lotus extracts help regulate sebum production, making it especially beneficial for oily skin by preventing clogged pores, acne, and blackheads.
• Jojoba Oil: Nourishes and protects the skin from environmental stressors, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Ideal for both morning and evening use, you only need a few pumps after cleansing. I personally prefer using it in the morning, as it absorbs quickly without any stickiness or tackiness, leaving my skin feeling deeply hydrated and refreshed.

Both of these products are wonderful to use and they sit alongside other products such as - night creams, eye creams, masks, primers and body care.  For Black Friday,  flânerie's offer is Buy One Get One Free, so a great time to try them as a brand!
