Keeping the Romance Alive

For now at least, staying home is the new norm and for many of us this means spending 24 hours a day with our other half. This should alleviate some of the pressure to spend quality time together, but how do you make sure the time you're spending together is just that?

Now that our dining room tables have become our restaurants and sofas our cinemas, we think it's more important than ever to plan to spend some quality time together, whether that's getting changed into your favourite dress after working from home in your sweatpants, or laying the table with your best crockery and lighting some candles.

Here's a few of the Fleur girls favourite date night ideas for when another Netflix marathon simply won't do.
