Still not sleeping/Holland and Barrett sleep campagin
Luckily I’ve been working with Holland and Barrett for purelyamy, they’re doing a sleep campaign in march and wanted someone to review the products ( I cheekily asked for a giveaway pack too). So this morning two parcels arrived, they’re just bigger than a shoe box but on closer inspection they have;
Herbal sleeping tablets,
bath salts,
smelling sprays,
camamile cocoa & relaxing tablets.
I know, It’s just my luck for it to have come this month, since I’ve not slept in 4 weeks I bloody need it! So the box I’ve got is worth £100, which means my giveaway will be £100 worth of stuff!! I’m so excited as I know that Holland and Barrett don’t normally with bloggers so get a set worth that much? It means a lot to me.
