Things have been heating up in Sc otland this week, with scorching 26C temperatures expected today, August 12, and conditions to be even hotter as the week continues.

Product Description
The blankets use cooling technology through 'Upgraded Arc-Chill Cooling Fibres' which can help to absorb body heat, claiming to reduce skin temperature between 5C and 7C instantly.
The throw is reversible, with the cooling material on one side and comfortable, winter-friendly material on the other, making it perfect for all seasons. Made from 100 per cent Mica Nylon, the blanket is soft, skin-friendly, comfortable and breathable, according to its product description.
The blankets are fully machine-washable, although washing them cold with a laundry net bag can prevent entanglement or damage to the product.
Those browsing alternative cooling blankets may consider the Silentnight Restore Cooling Blanket for £45, which measures 178cm x 152cm. Or, Debenhams offers the similar Cooling Blanket Throw for £13.99, which measures 120cm x 150cm.
But hot sleepers adore the discounted Amazon blanket, which has raked in some glowing reviews. One happy customer said: "I don't know the wizardry behind this blanket - but somehow it works.
"I was sceptical as when I first lay it on me I thought yes it feels cool but maybe that's just the material, but no, it kept me cool all through the night.
"I only wish I'd bought more than one because not only do I love it, apparently so does my husband and dogs - so it's a battle over who claims it first."
Yet a less happy customer said: "Cool as soon as you put on ur self then that's it coolness has gone, wanted to try them as everyone was raving about them but don't waste your money use a fan instead loads better."
But another impressed shopper stated: "It really does cool you down on a hot night. We no longer need the fan. Fantastic!"
And another said: "Even though this blanket isn't made for anxiety or depression, it genuinely feels like the kind of comfort those blankets give. It's soft, cool, and oddly soothing — like a little safe space for when you just want to switch off."
The discounted range of cooling blankets are available on Amazon.

Two litre bottle shoppers say 'keeps drinks cold all day' gets 15% price slash
'I've used it daily for over a year now and it's still in great condition. It's never leaked and keeps drinks cool.' With some areas of Scotland hitting temperatures as high as 30C today, many people are looking for ways to keep cool whether they are in or outdoors. On top of this, with the warm spell of weather set to continue, it is important to make sure you stay hydrated. While some people are determined to hit their water goal for each day, others can easily forget to drink enough as they dot around their daily to do list. If you are part of the latter group, buying a water bottle that will keep your preferred drink cool may motivate you to up your water intake. For those in the market for a water bottle, or are wanting to upgrade from your current one, Amazon has cut 15 per cent off the popular Coolflask Insulated Water Bottle 2L, which is currently one of the retailer's top choices. Dropped down to £25.49 in a limited time deal (RRP £29.99), this 2000ml water bottle is crafted with BPA-free stainless steel. Designed to keep any liquid fresh all day, this bottle is rust-free and won't retain odor which can put many shoppers off from continuing to use their current bottle. Featuring triple insulation, this bottle is sure to keep your drinks at a consistent temperature. According to Amazon, this bottle will keep beverages cold for up to 48 hours and hot for 24 hours. And due to its huge capacity, shoppers won't need to continually refill their bottle throughout the day. For added convenience, the Coolflask comes with three different lids to meet your needs. Shoppers can choose between a wide mouth cap with a handle which is perfect for adding more ice to your drinks, a spout lid which is ideal for hot drinks or the straw lid for sipping cold beverages. Coolflask Insulated Water Bottle 2L £29.99 £25.49 Amazon Buy Now Product Description Another popular bottle on Amazon is the Buzio Insulated Water Bottle 2L. With over 36,000 reviews, this bottle comes with two lids, two reusable straws, as well as a handy straw cleaner. This bottle also matches the cooling length of the Coolflask - 48 hours. Alternatively, for shoppers looking for something smaller, Argos is selling the Stanley IceFlow Flip Rose Quartz Sipper Water Bottle for £38. With a 700ml capacity, this bottle is said to be able to keep 'water ice cold for three days'. Back to the Coolflask Water Bottle, it currently has a 4.5 star rating from over 8,800 Amazon shoppers. Many have raved over the quality of the bottle, with one saying that buying this bottle over a Stanley is a 'no brainer'. One happy shopper praised: "Great hydration bottle, I've used it daily for over a year now and it's still in great condition. It's never leaked and keeps drinks cool." With another five-star reviewer adding: "Extremely happy with this purchase. It keeps my drink cold all day, even on very hot days. The build quality is excellent and the selection of lids is very handy. When you compare the price to a Stanley cup, it's a no brainer." However, some shoppers had some minor gripes with the bottle. One person said: "The strap is quite thin with no padded section, it's hard to complain about that at this price point but 2kg (when it's full) soon becomes uncomfortable, I'd recommend only filling it half full if you're going to put it on your shoulder for a walk." With another writing: "Perfect product however it comes with the black case/cover on which is very difficult to take off and on. Not the end of the world as you can use the product perfectly still." Despite this, a top reviewer said: "This product is just what I had been looking for! I tend to drink a lot of water throughout the day and have felt guilty about using 2L bottles from the supermarket for years. I love that it comes with three different types of lids, so you can choose the one that suits you best. "It's easy to clean and dishwasher safe, making it perfect for my daily use and its really good quality as well. It really does an excellent job at keeping liquids cold—I find that ice cubes can last almost a whole day!" Shoppers can grab the Coolflask Insulated Water Bottle 2L in a limited time deal on Amazon.

'I travelled half way around the world for my favourite scent - and it only cost £15'
I've spent a lot of money on perfumes because of the brand and the celebrity endorsing it rather than the scent itself - but that stopped when I went to Dubai and found my go-to scent. I used to be the type of person who was drawn to a perfume based on the celebrity endorsing it rather than by the scent itself. But everything changed when I found my current all-time favourite scent - and it costs just £15. Despite the perfume being under £20, I had to travel half way around the world to get it. During my holiday in Dubai, on the very last day, my friend and I visited Old Dubai, an area known for its traditional souks, where you can find gold, spices, clothes, designer dupes, and perfumes. Looking for souvenir shops, we stumbled across a store which had hundreds of perfume bottles beautifully lined up. After a nice chat with the owner, he recommended a bottle that came in a suede box - and the moment I smelled it, I fell in love. It was like he knew exactly what I was looking for. After testing many different scents (and spending way too much money), I had finally found the one - and I've never had so many people telling me how good it smells. The perfume is called Ameerat Al Arab and if I had to describe it, I'd say it's a sweet, out-of-the-ordinary smell without being overpowering. Warm, sensual, yet elegant. It smells so distinctive - you'd swear it was from a luxury brand. My only regret? I only bought one bottle. Thankfully, after some digging online, I found the exact same perfume on Amazon for the same price. For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. As previously reported by Grazia, the rich and distinctive scent of oud, which is found in Ameerat Al Arab, has become popular over the years. Middle Eastern perfumery is known for its rich, long-lasting oud-based scents, which, compared to other Western alternatives, stand out more. In my opinion, there's no need to spend a ton of money to smell good. With the rise of the oud and long-lasting smells, if you're looking for a fragrance that's perfect for every season with guaranteed compliments, you'll want to consider this one or alternatives such as Ard Al Zaafaran's Oud Orchid and KAYALI Oudgasm Vanilla Oud 36 Eau de Parfum.
