Not pregnant? Don’t skip past this post just yet, as far as I’m concerned, these products can be used by anyone! If you aren’t familiar with Mama Mio as a brand, let me give you some background: Mama Mio was created by 4 women based on purely selfish needs – when they...
Hello again people of the internet, it’s Dan here, yes, the one with the beard. As all of you regular readers will know, Sarah and I have been expecting our daughter for the last few months and as the time draws near, Sarah asked me to share some of the things I’ve...
Look, I’m a pretty (okay, extremely) organised person. My diary is always up to date and I am always ready way in advance. But even I was taken by surprise when I realised that it was time to start packing our hospital bags. Honestly, the past 8 months have flown by –...
Happy New Years Eve everyone – I’m not sure about you but it sort of snuck up on me and I woke up this morning thinking, “Oh gees, 2015 is over!” I won’t lie, I’m quite happy to see the tail end of this year and welcome 2016 with open arms. The first 6 months of 2015...
It seems as if time is running away with me at the moment – not only is it the end of one helluva year but I only have 3 odd more months of carrying this little monkey in my belly. The second trimester has come and gone as fast as that second helping of pudding...
Wedding season is most definitely upon us, and if you’re one of the love birds planning to tie the knot, I’m sure you are starting to feel the pinch of the crazy prices the wedding industry charges. It seems like they just double the price as soon as they hear the...
I’m 20 weeks along this week and so unless she decides to make an early appearance, I’ve hit the half way mark! Of course, in amongst all of the excitement, we have started to buy all the “baby stuff”. Let me tell you, this does not come cheap! But I think that Dan...
It's Favourites time again – no need for any explanation, let’s just get straight to it! Stretchmarks If you read my post about my first trimester, you will know that stretch marks are a stark reality right now. I've been doing my best to fight them off and have armed...
If you missed the announcement last week Friday, then SUPRISE! Dan and I are expecting our first little bebe in April next year. We are so excited, so nervous and feel so incredibly blessed. But along with all the ooh-ing and aah-ing at the cute baby clothes at Cotton...
As much as this is a skincare and beauty blog, it’s also a personal blog and sometimes I just have to get stuff off my chest. It’s no secret that Dan and I are trying to have a kiddie. Now, from the notes below, it might seem that I have gone a little bit crazy. Let...
Today Dan and I have been married for two whole years! Instead of gushing about how smart, funny, caring and good looking my husband is (although I could do it for days on end) I thought I would tell you about how our wedding day was almost a disaster. And no, I am...
I guess I should have written a short little post when this all started. Something along the lines of “sorry, things are hectic, but I will be back!”. But as a good friend of mine has told me many times (after each breakup or too many glasses bottles of wine),...
