What does the month of February mean to you? Do you even celebrate the month of love with all its bells and whistles in the form of chocolate, flowers and romantic candle-lit dinners? Or is the 14th of February a non-event to you, an ordinary day where you refuse to give into the commercialism, preferring to stick it to good ol’ Saint Valentine?
I must admit, I’ve always been a bit on the fence with this one. In many ways I can’t handle the thought of millions of men rushing to buy their ladies overpriced roses and chocolates and half killing themselves to get their orders in with their online florist or performing mini triathlons to get to the shops before everything sells out. I hate that it’s the only day that so many women receive flowers because it’s a prescribed thing, but probably never see another rose for the rest of the year. After a particularly sad looking bouquet of roses was presented to me a few years ago ( bought on the side of the road after every Woolies in a 50 kilometre radius had sold out of any V-day merchandise whatsoever) and me finding out what my hubs had paid for said bouquet, I begged him to never give in to the commercialism ever gain.
But the romantic in me still wants to celebrate in some way! I still want to make the person in my life feel special and connect with him on a day where millions of couples around the world are celebrating their relationships too. I do love that in a world of so much hate and violence (especially against women), there is still this day that encourages couples to reflect and celebrate their love and commitment to each other. I don’t ever want to become cynical about that.
Perhaps it’s simply an excuse to get away from the kids for the evening and to feel like we are still each other’s priority, that we still have the hots for each other and still have the urge to tear each other’s clothes off from time to time. Maybe it’s remembering that despite really liking each other as friends and co-partents, we are also lovers, who deserve to celebrate that part of our relationship.
Which is why I’m offering one lucky couple the ultimate gift this Valentines day! I have partnered with Rise and Fall for the month of February to help one of you create the ultimate love nest for you and your partner to enjoy some sexy time! Yup, we are giving away a set of Rise and Fall Linen which consists of a duvet cover, 2 standard pillow cases and a fitted sheet to the value of R3499! Because let’s face it, after all the chocolate has been eaten, and the flowers have turned brown, your love nest will still be there to see you through countless passionate encounters in the bedroom. And I’m sure that the majority of men out there will see this as a worthwhile investment 🙂
I mean is there anything more sexy and romantic that fresh crisp linen to get you both in the mood?

Dear Mom Diaries
Being a mom to two is hard work and exhausting. All us moms know the struggle of working, seeing to meal time and making sure our families are happy. I am on my feet most of the day and look forward to my wind down time, which is after we put the kids to bed and snuggle up for a episode or 2 of our favourite series.
After looking through the Rise and Fall range, I have fallen in love with their clean lines and fresh look bedding. Looking at the pictures I can see my King size bed looking so inviting in the evenings to us. you can’t beat quality when it comes to bedding, you feel it on your skin, you smell it and you sleep so peacefully.
This would be an amazing win as going to be and resting is something we all look forward to, it is what revitalises us and gets us ready for the day ahead. Laying my head on a rise and fall product will definitely make my valentines day!
Timeless, good quality and value for money.
