If you’ve ever had a look at some of the videos I’ve shared and some of the tv shows that I’ve talked about (Coronation Street anyone?), you’ll notice that there is a theme — I have a true appreciation of British products. While I talk about British tv, my love of all things British extends into food products (the owners of the local British shops know who I am because they see me so much!), clothing and household goods. I’ve even got an egg poacher from the UK because it was so much better than anything I’d ever seen in Canada.
So when I was asked to review Octaspring Evolution Plus pillow (from the UK), can you imagine my response? Well, I thought it would be rude to yell “HEE HAW” but that’s exactly how I felt?
Now it might sound crazy to get that excited about a pillow but over the past couple of years I’ve developed some real challenges when I’m trying to get to sleep. When I was heavier, I found that I couldn’t get comfortable, no matter what type of pillow I tried. I thought that when I lost weight, getting comfortable in bed would be easier.
Unfortunately, I was wrong.
Some pillows have given me kinks in the necks, while other ones are so light and I feel like I’m trying to lay my head on a cotton ball. And the worst has to be what I call the “pancake pillow”. Within a couple of weeks of picking up these pillows, I discover that they become flat as a pancake. Frustrating!
Octaspring technology makes these pillows different. Octaspring pillows combine all the benefits of the two traditional types of mattresses, but eliminates the drawbacks of both through its unique eight-sided springs made out of memory foam. The springs cradle and conform to the sleeper’s body (memory foam) while providing incredible ventilation and breathability (springs). Octaspring also extends the principle behind their mattresses’ technology into their pillows, realizing that the head and neck need as much comfort as the rest of the body.
What it all boils down to is this — the Octaspring pillow contures to my head, it cushions my neck and it is so comfy that it is literally “huggable”! I’ve woken up a number of days hugging my pillow because it is so comfortable!
With holidays coming up, I’m doubly excited about my Octaspring pillow because I tend to be particular about pillows (aka picky) and the Octaspring pillow is so lightweight that I’ll be able to take it with me to help get a good night’s sleep!

Just like the girls, Kinder has delivered another collection of toys that are remarkably unique. The Kinder Surprise Pink, with over 30 new toys inside, offers a diverse set of toys. And, the girls being diverse themselves, have different favourites!
Little One loves any of the toys but became particularly enamoured with this ring (she is a huge fan of purple!) . She loves the toys so much, in fact, that she pulls apart the Kinder eggs and gets out the toy even before she eats the chocolate!
