If you read my blog last week you will know that Wilfie, our black cat, has a Christmas present of the pet grooming gloves coming his way, but something tells me he might not be as impressed with those as he is with the new pet bed he has been trying out. It is from Silentnight<\/a> and is going to be a Big Deal<\/a> next week.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

He’s not usually a fan of pet beds, preferring to sleep on chairs or window sills above radiators (or the radiators themselves) but he got in this one straight away and absolutely LOVES it. Who knew that you could get orthopaedic pet beds to evenly distribute their weight and reduce pressure points!?! I suppose our pets get sore joints just like us, particularly as they get older. The beds come in different sizes (Wilfie’s is small) and also have a removable machine washable cover. Great idea for your pet for Christmas and the price is amazing compared with Silentnight’s own price. I’m actually tempted to get him another one for a different room in the house… too much???<\/p>\n

So hopefully you will be pampering your pet, but how about treating yourself this coming weekend? I am a massive fan of the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer<\/a>. I’ll be honest with you and say that when it first came out I wondered what could be so good about it to justify the price. I am now a total convert and my hair says thank you.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

My previous dryer was really good at giving me smooth silky hair but I had started to worry about breakage because of the temperature it reached while I dried my naturally curly hair smooth. The Dyson is temperature controlled. It has three setting to choose from and I always use it on the middle setting for heat, but the highest setting for airflow. We did this video in the make-up room yesterday with me using the Philip Kingsley radial brush,<\/a> which is fabulous for blow drying.<\/p>\n
