How to Care for your Cotton Bedding

There is so much information on the correct way to wash cotton sheets, and it can get very confusing! We have compiled a go-to tips page on how to wash, dry and store your beautiful Beddie cotton sheets.

Make your own Fabric Softener & Avoid Nasty, Harmful Toxins

Using fabric softeners each time you wash your sheets is a big no-no!. Fabric softeners coat the fabrics fibres and reduce the fabrics air permeability, leaving behind a film that can start to feel heavy and slimy. Not to mention the harmful effects they can have on your family’s health. Commercial in-wash fabric softeners and heat-activated dryer sheets can pack a powerful combination of chemicals that can harm your health, damage the environment and pollute the air, inside and outside your home. Here’s why:

The Forecast is COLOUR!

There is just something about colour that gives us the feels. Good, happy, vibing feels. Be it a bunch of natures finest flowers, or a wall colour, or a vase, or a tshirt, it doesn't seem to matter what, but good colour will always make us smile. And then there's the brave ones that take the extra step to inject colour fully into their homes, and you just can't believe how much it lifts a space. And you want to do it yourself, but you get nervous. Understandable I guess, but how much work is it really? And how easy is it to replace with the greige and beige again, if you do feel the need to ever go back. :)

How to Refresh your Mattress Naturally

Baking soda is one of the best defenses against stale and musty odours. Pour 1 cup of baking soda into a jar, or plastic container with a lid. Add 4 drops of essential oil – either lavender, eucalyptus or peppermint, cover the jar with the lid and then give it a really good shake to blend the essential oil in with the baking soda. Next, find a strainer or sifter. If you can't find one, just sprinkle with your hands. While standing next to your bed, pour a small amount of the baking soda mix into the strainer, then sprinkle it onto the mattress. Repeat this until your whole mattress is covered.

Festive Season Thoughts

It's November! Oops.. here I am again, barely having thought about Christmas this year, even though I swore last year I would be super organised and prepared. I feel as though I haven’t even placed the simplest, teeniest thought in my head as yet, so, sending you an email spurred me on to finding a festive pav recipe. Not because I particularly like pavlova, but because I am surrounded by people that do. Plus, they look astonishingly festive, with all those pretty red berries, soft playgrounds of creamy snow, and dramatic rivers of red syrup. Use your imagination and add chocolate stars, or little festive edible ornaments, and you’ll really find some childlike happiness in the creative process :)

10 Common Dreams

We all dream, and although the exact reason for our dreams is not certain, it seems that they are a way for our minds to process the events of our waking lives. We will have more than 100,000 dreams over our lifetime, and there are some typically recurring themes that will come to us over and over again. While we are still unsure as to the exact meaning of a dream, a number of theories for common dreams are widely supported. Let’s look at some of the most popular meaning of dreams which are most commonly experienced.

Detox Your Bedroom!

Bedroom plants can do more than just make your room look brighter. They can also boost your mood, enhance your creativity, reduce your stress levels, increase your productivity, and naturally filter air pollutants.

Plants are not only beautiful to surround yourself with and look at, but are warriors when it comes to purifying your air at home.

Improving Sleep

Lack of sleep or problems sleeping, could be taking a toll on your mental and physical health. Sleep-deprivation can be linked to everything from chronic health conditions to depleted libido and trouble in relationships. However, don't despair! Our body has an incredible ability to bounce back, no matter how exhausted you may feel. Prioritising your zzz's really makes a difference to your mindset. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

Why our Sheets are Dreamy

Bolls! That's right. Bolls. Little fluffy clouds of puff. The little fluffballs on the cotton plant are called the 'boll' and each one contains nearly 250,000 individual cotton fibres (or staples). Plants with individual fibres measuring 2.8cm are known as short staple, which is the most common type. Long staple cottons have individual fibres of 3.2 cm. The differences in these lengths may seem small, but when it comes to quality, strength, and softness, the difference is big!
