Valentines Day - sorted.

Valentines day never used to be such a huge event, a tacky love heart card and a takeaway while watching crappy Saturday night TV was considered a treat! Now us girls expect a dozen red roses, our new favorite Chanel handbag and to be wined and dined like a Queen. Not asking for much right?

There are some ways however you don't have to splash your cash and yet still be in the good books, we are going to show you lovely boys how with our top 3 valentines gifts for under £20!

1) The photo frame: what you need,
- A glass clip frame
- Super cute photos of you and your girl (all the ones where she looks good, it doesn't really matter about you) 
- A dash of creativity. 

Use every ounce of artistic skills you may have learned from your compulsory art lessons during high school, to create a collage with all the best pictures of you and your valentine. The time and effort taken to create this thoughtful frame will overshadow any amount of money you could have spent - priceless!  

2) Basket of Her faves:
Want to show your valentine you know everything about her and that you do pay attention when she's telling you about her favorite foods and interests? Get all of her fave foods/drinks/candles/smellie's and girly goodies to fill up a nice little hamper. Doesn't cost a lot but shows a lot of thought and effort!!

3) Play Chef:
Every girl loves to be taken to a fancy restaurant and wined and dined, but whats better than being waited on hand and foot by your very own boyfriend/butler!!! Get your cookery books out boys, steak is on the menu!! Cook your valentine a candlelit dinner, with her fave wines and flowers - perf.

 
 We hope this helped our lovely male readers! Happy Valentines Day! xxx

New Year...New Me...

OK, so…which of you guys and girls have had a tiresome, run down, illness filled winter so far?  So have many others and it just doesn’t seem to want to go away!  We all need a boost in the winter months both physically and mentally…2015 is a new start for many to get back in shape with some serious new regimes and healthy eating habits to help you get back on it!  Snuggaroo have teamed up with nutritionist, health coach and fitness enthusiast Cathy Wright from The Rowan Clinic to launch our very latest competition focused on nutrition and fitness ‘’don’t wait until tomorrow, start TODAY!’’

Be in it to WIN it the chance to win some NEW fitness wear to hit the gym with and start off the year with some new gear! Who needs a kick up the backside? 

Motivation is very much needed right now and comes in many different forms; a picture on Instagram, a motivational quote, a lifestyle change, some new kicks to get you going or knowledgeable, inspirational nutritional advice.  All we are asking is for you to take a couple of minutes to fill out our short questionnaire, Like, Comment & Share this competition on your own social networking sites - Twitter Facebook instagram .  In return we will be giving out free gym essentials to some hand-picked participants! Its simple :)

Women’s and Men’s fitness fashion is so hot right now…it’s not just about hitting the gym in some old shorts and baggy t-shirt anymore…on no no…it’s now all about the latest ‘fitness fashion’ and sports gear with the specialised technology to help you achieve your physical goals with the help of professional sports clothing. Don’t let the weather and low climates put you out of your training routines as year-round training means perfecting the art of layering. Our latest range of Adidas clothing keeps you warm and comfortable in cold weather conditions with breathable Climawarm technology with a thermal insulation design.  adidas use the technology they develop for the world’s most successful sports teams to design high quality sportswear, equipment and footwear for consumers. The brand also work with designers, like Stella McCartney to make functional, yet stylish, sportswear, bringing innovation to the sportswear industry.

Be Active & Be Healthy… Cathy  offers inspirational, professional and motivational advice throughout her online website Rowan Clinic  within her blog and supplies a vast range of personally recommended, safe, high-quality vitamins,minerals & specialist nutritional supplements to help you reach the pinnacle of vibrant health & well-being and enable those who choose to empower themselves through physical activity the potential to reach their goals & aspirations. 

Aside from protecting our bodies with the right clothing for winter training, we also need to think about going a layer deeper to ensure our body’s immune system is functioning at its optimum level.   According to Cathy, studies reveal that immune system function is suppressed for several hours following intense, prolonged exercise, leaving us more susceptible to the colds & viruses which seem to be widespread at this time of year.  She recommends that everyone, particularly those training on a regular basis, should at the very least, be taking a premium multi-nutrient formula and building upon this foundation with specific supplements known to enhance immune function.  Vitamin C is perhaps the one we are all aware of, our familiarity often means it gets overlooked, but vitamin C is a very powerful antioxidant and free-radical scavenger; more importantly, it cannot be made by the body and must be acquired via the diet.  Vitamin D, most strongly associated with the health of our bones has become quite a hot topic of late with studies linking this fat-soluble vitamin to a range of health benefits including enhanced immune function. 

Don’t compromise your training regime by not taking your nutrition seriously!

Get the look.

Golden Globes 2015 - best dressed

The Golden Globes, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. While the point of the event is too showcase and congratulate the years best movies, a lot of people are more focused on.. who's wearing what?.

 

Weather you're interested in fashion or not, we all like to have a good nosey at what this years biggest stars are wearing. We have here the best dressed men and women from this years Golden Globes.

   

The men: just a suit? we don't think so! Channing Tatum is looking beyond dashing in this Dolce & Gabbana rendition. Not too far behind is Alex Levinge in his charcoal grey Dior Tux. A lot of the men took the classic red carpet tux and gave it a modern twist.

Channing Tatum's wife Jenna-Dewan-Tatum is looking stunning in her Carolina Herrera gown.

 













 You would have thought the celebs would be too busy at their red carpet event to be on their phones... but maybe not?

we love this snap of the friends star Jennifer Aniston and Benedict Cumberbatch backstage, this is almost as serious as their time on stage.

 Jared Leto uploaded this cheeky snap of him on his way to the red-carpet event, captioning the image as 'better late than never' .. we think so too!

Finally J-Lo is looking unbelievable posing for this snap on her instagram, with her co-star of Boy Next Door Ryan Guzman. 

The accessories:  

Stella McCartney for adidas

WE ARE IN LOVE..

adidas and Stella McCartney collide... and its amazing!
