So how has January been so far for you? It\u2019s traditionally a month I try to take relatively slower than the rest of the year however what with Myles having A levels looming at speed and Beely going back on Jan 4th to sixth form exams too, coupled with Mum going in for a hip replacement (today!), there\u2019s not been an awful lot of relaxing going on \u2013 other than when I can grab a few minutes here and there and I have to say I could have quite cheerfully had \u201c50 winks\u201d as my grandmother used to say, on set in the cocoon chair<\/a> the other day. It\u2019s amazing how quickly the body relaxes with the gentle swinging motion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have enjoyed the beautiful weather we are having though, as has Whizz. I\u2019ve been littering my Instagram stories with pictures of our walks. The cold weather has been a tad brutal on some days but when the sun comes out, it\u2019s just glorious. A bit like the movement of the cocoon chair, I find walking through nature is another wonderful way to reset.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been particularly diligent with my SPF recently as am using the M Asam retinol treatment<\/a>. The supersize was such a great price that I really wanted to give it a go. I\u2019m not great at weekly treatments or anything like that as I forget, but if it is something I can slot in my daily routine without trouble, I\u2019m more likely to do it. So far I\u2019m on day 4 of using them every night and I\u2019ve already been blown away by the change in texture on my skin, it feels like glass!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Talking of routine, I am so looking forward to working with Davina<\/a> when we launch the exercise bike<\/a> TSV on Friday evening. She\u2019s a machine and really inspires me to keep moving! Last year I had a hip condition finally diagnosed and can no longer do any horse riding or impact exercise so it\u2019s cycling and swimming for me and I\u2019m determined to do it well! The great thing about this bike is that anyone can use it and you can build up how much you do as you go but remain in the warm and dry comfort of home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s it from me today. Here\u2019s a picture taken from my walk this morning, how beautiful is the light? Have a great rest of January – we will be talking about spring and seeing our gardens come to life before we know it!<\/p>\n

Much love as always<\/p>\n

Pipa x<\/p>\n
