Jul 29, 2014

Cleaning your bedroom is a necessary evil and the bane of most people’s lives. If you are anything like us you would do anything – ANYTHING – to spend as little time cleaning it as possible.

To help you do a quick sweep of your room, follow these steps:

Make your bed
Start by making your bed, your room will look instantly tidier – not tidy but tidier!

Pick up the rubbish
Grab a plastic bag and pick up all the rubbish that seems to have missed your bin.

Take out cups
Take out the pile of cups that have started taking over your dresser.

Sort your clothes
Sort your clothes into dirty and clean. Whatever’s dirty put in the hamper and put away the clean clothes.

Put things in a proper place
Have a look around the room and check to see if there is anything out of place – put your writing pad on your desk, your hairdryer on your dresser, etc.

Polish
Polish all your surfaces, including your skirting board.

Vacuum
Get the vacuum cleaner and make sure you get every spot under the bed and desk – don’t just go around things.

Bin things
Don’t hang on to scraps of paper or things that have no meaning – bring the little ornaments that are taking up space to the charity shop and throw out things that are broken.

Do this at least once every two weeks to avoid the build up.

If you’ve grown bored of the décor in your bedroom but don’t have a lot of cash to spare giving it a complete revamp, don’t worry. There are some simple things you can do to breathe some life into a tired space.

Cushions
You can get cheap and cheerful cushions in Ikea or even Tesco that will brighten up your room. If you’re a crafty type of person, you could make new covers for your old cushions out of any material you have lying around – it’s always nice to have a personal touch!

New furniture
Ok, so this might not sound like a budget friendly option, but if you look on any of the Freecycle websites, you never know what you might find, and it won’t cost you a penny!

Change things around
You’d be surprised what a difference you can make by simply moving your bed from one side of the room to another. Just beware of uncovering a LOT of dust and/or cobwebs!

Mirrors
It’s always nice to have some pretty mirrors in your room. Screw them to your wardrobe doors or strategically place them on your wall so that they increase the light in the room.

Change bed clothes
Whether you want to go out and buy a brand new duvet cover or just change it to one you already have, changing bed clothes is definitely a great way of giving your room a facelift.

A bedroom is a very personal place, especially if you are living with lots of other people – there’s always someone in the front room.

Do you have a comfy headboard, a spotlessly clean room or a perfectly coordinated space? Here’s what your room says about you:

Lots of florals
If your room is covered in pretty floral drapes, bedspreads and pastel cushions you are definitely a romantic at heart.

You still have your old bedroom lamp
You love vintage and old-school items and are not fussed about having on-trend items. You are also probably sentimental and love having a touch of the past near you.

Crisp clean sheets
Well we all love crisp, clean sheets – some of us are just more lack about changing them. However, if you are one of the few who does, it could mean that you love nothing more than a little luxury in your life.

Bright colours
While some people are adverse to having bright colours in their bedroom, others simply can’t get enough. If you’re room is a rainbow of colour you are adventurous and looking for fun.

Sparse
You are a minimalist and you like to keep things simple. We wish we were like this….

5 things every guy has thought during sex

A million thoughts run through our minds during the throes of passion, but in the presence of a naked woman, a man’s mind becomes pretty predictable.

Here are five thoughts that have probably crossed your guy’s mind at least once in the bedroom.

1. ‘Am I doing this right?’ When men are turned on, we know all about it. It’s a little more complicated when it comes to us girls, and half the time men have no idea if they’re hitting the nail on the head so to speak. Rumours in the men’s locker rooms of faked female orgasms lead to more second guessing of their bedroom talents.

2. ‘Damn! I forgot to shower.‘ He probably planned to get spruced up before you arrived, but was too tired or lazy at the time, and then got distracted by the prospect of sex. This also goes for all other general grooming – teeth brushing, aftershave, toenail clipping, and so on.

3. ‘My god, she’s hot!’ From a man’s perspective, the best breasts in the world are those that have recently been exposed for his enjoyment. While we self-critique ourselves constantly, men are just delighted to be in the company of a naked you, so relax!

4. ‘Play it cool, play it cool, play it cool!’ You know that scene in Ghost when Patrick Swayze is seducing Demi Moore over a pottery wheel? Well, that doesn’t happen in real life. You don’t see the screen heartthrob rolling on his back trying pull his socks off, or struggling with the finicky little clasp on the back of your bra. He’s smooth from the first scene to the last, and that’s what most guys are aiming for. They want us to think they’re totally in charge, even when they’re so very not.

5. ‘Where did she learn THAT?!’ A guy typically won’t complain if you pull out a brand new bedroom move. That said, if it comes out of nowhere and it’s not something you’ve previously spoken about, he’s definitely wondering where the inspiration came from (Did she read that in a magazine? Learn it from her last boyfriend?).

Date night in?

Staying in tonight? Well, seeing as it is Valentine’s Day why not make your bedroom that little bit more romantic?

Add a little mood lighting
Candles are the perfect way to create a romantic vibe. Mix tea lights with chunky candles and stick in a few scented ones too.

Plenty of cushions
A bed is irresistible when it looks comfy so pile cushions onto the bed. Make sure you change your sheets though.

Use rose petals
Sprinkle rose petals all over the bed and the floor. Your other half might not like them but hey, it’s your room too.

Play some music
Nothing says romance like the sound of music. Avoid Taylor Swift at all costs.

However, before you go to all this effort, you might want to make sure your room is clean and clutter free. Nothing is more off putting than tripping up on dirty clothes.
