Between winter, a week of sleepless nights and a pretty stressful month; my skin is not looking its finest. The Kiehls and Beauty Bulletin #ChangeYourSkin campaign could not have come at a better time! So what is the whole #ChangeYourSkin campaign about? Well Kiehls...
Tonight, like every other night for the past week or so, we dished up our dinner, sat down at the table and made polite conversation. Then I loaded the dishwasher and my husband put away his washed and folded laundry before both sitting down in the lounge to put on...
Can you believe that this blue-eyed cherub is three months old already?! It seems as though I have known her all my life but at the same time that time is just flying by! The past weeks have had their up's and down's and we have learnt so much, so give my latest...
Grocery shopping is my worst but unfortunately it’s a necessary evil. It’s no secret that food prices have soared in recent months and so I have been making a really big effort to keep to our grocery budget every month but still make delicious dinners. Because let’s...
I had a really, really easy pregnancy. No morning sickness, no pigmentation and I didn’t balloon up quite as much as I thought I would. But, alas, pregnancy did leave me with one parting gift – stretch marks. Make no mistake, I smothered myself in creams, lotions and...
It's that time again... I haven't done a favourites post for a little while and so I decided to jazz things up and do a favourites video. Have a watch below and let me know what you think......
There’s nothing better than a long soak in the tub followed by a delicious body moisturiser to ease away the remnants of a rubbish day. With winter well on its way, I have changed my products to more oil based ones as I find that they are a lot more nourishing to my...
This was such a highly requested video and so I'm really glad that I have been able to upload it...finally. Even though I planned to have a caesarean section birth, I still had lots of questions about the process. I read quite a few articles online and they definitely...
Oh hey, it’s my birthday! Well, in 20 days it is... plus my wedding anniversary and Mother’s Day has just been and gone too. Poor Dan and his bank account have a rough time in May. Anyway, I haven’t done a wishlist post in a little while and I thought this would be a...
I mentioned a few posts ago (I can't quite remember where) that for the past few months I've been opting to wear BB creams instead of foundation. I'm not sure if it's because of the crazy heat waves that we had or just because BB creams feel lighter on the skin but my...
While I was in hospital after having Aria, in amongst all the visitors and flowers, I received a lovely and thoughtful delivery from Medela: a bag full of goodies to make breastfeeding easier. They must have known how nervous I was about the whole deal. Before I get...
Unless you've been living under a rock (or don't follow me on social media...tsk, tsk, tsk!), you will know that we welcomed our daughter Aria Rae on 29 March. Being a first time mom, everything is brand new to me and so I wanted to tell you all about it....
Foundation is one of the basic building blocks to a perfectly made up face. The trouble is finding the perfect product to suit your skin, never mind finding the correct shade! Well I did the hard work for you and tested out two foundations from Revlon... Let's jump...
It’s not here quite yet, but the big chill is on its way and I for one, couldn't be happier - I’m a winter baby through and through. I love the cold and (almost) everything that goes with it: boots and scarves, tea and rusks in the morning and of course snuggling...
Well, here I sit, 38, almost 39 weeks pregnant, can you believe it?! The last few weeks are a bit of a roller-coaster of emotions and general craziness: getting all our last ducks in a row before baby arrives, thinking about labour, wondering if I'm going to be a good...
Here it is, part two of what I have crammed into bags for us to take with to the hospital when the big day arrives! Don't let this image fool you, mama's hospital bag is not sexy! If you missed out on part one, you can read and watch it here. Don't forget to download...
