Diet Day 25 – A Blog from my Bed

Posted by Life with Lizzi on January 25, 2011 · 2 Comments

Today I have retreated to my bed with a Migraine. It could be classified as bad, but they are all bad. So it is just a common-0r-garden, I got too tired, too emotional and too stressed out, Migraine. The Big Pill (my saviour on days like this) is working, but I feel groggy, so I’m keeping today’s blog short and focused. On my bed!

What do you like to take to bed with you?

(on a day when only the warm duvet can calm and relax you!)

I’ve listed my favourite bedside must-haves…..

bbb

books and magazines to flick through. At the moment I have ‘How to have a Beautiful mind’ by Edward de Bono, and ‘Information is Beautiful‘ by David McCandless. Great for dipping in and out of between sleeping. I also always have the latest copy of Elle Decoration (UK) and Cote Ouest (Fr).
A herbal tea in my favourite mug, usually half drunk, as I fall asleep before finishing. Today I’m on Camomile and Fennel.
A large bottle of mineral water. Essential.
A scented candle. At the moment ‘feuille de the’ by Flamant.
Something left by the kids. Often a drawing or a book or a sillyband. Soft memories.
A pillow mist with essential oils. Perfect for aiding sleep. At the moment it’s a `Dille & Camille’ mint and eucalyptus blend.
Some spare bookmarks, picked up at stores (Urban Outfitters and Waterstones are good for these), or designed by the kids
A Moleskine notebook, for all my crazy ideas, and a pencil.

I would have taken a photo, but it’s better left to your imagination, as it’s a little untidy and I’m ready to doze again.

Happy Dreaming!
