Maternity Leave

A year ago tomorrow I returned to work after having my first baby. Financially I had to, but now I am glad that I did just for my sanity. There I was thinking it would be really hard not spending every minute of each day with the baby and having to juggle things at home …

Nivea Q10 Night Cream Review

I have been using Nivea Q10 Night Cream every night for over a month now, along with the Nivea Q10 Eye cream. I am so happy with this product that I will certainly be buying the same again when it runs out. I don't usually play favourites with cosmetics but I think I would be …

Flats for life!

Even though I am petite... I hate the word short, don't really like petite much either. Even though I am 4ft11'' I rarely wear heels. I love them, but lets face it they hurt and you can't run away from weirdos or catch toddlers in them. I quite often compromise with a mid heel; less …

Returning to ‘work’

Part-time Work I have mentioned before that I have been lucky to find a job that works perfectly around childcare availability and costs. The main difficulty of finding a job when you have young children is how restricted you are with availability. I am so glad that I managed to return to work  just so …

How to; be in my mid-twenties

A little brainstorm of all of the things I have learnt so far in my mid-twenties. How to cook - pretty essential when you have boys to feed. If I lived on my own I probably wouldnt bother to cook every night. How to keep the peace - not always having to win an argument and …

Formal, but fun style.

I always struggle to find something to wear to formal events like weddings and christenings. I like to wear something that stands out a little bit, but without stealing the show. Most importantly I like to wear something thats not boring, something a bit cheeky! This weekend we went to a Christening and this was …

Inside my Make-Up Bag

For the first time in my make up wearing life I have several products that have become staples for 'my face'. I love trying out new products and I am always looking for an underrated bargain, so unless I have become emotionally attached to a certain piece of make up I would usually replace it for …

Healthier Living (after Easter weekend)

The chocolate onslaught that is Easter is over. I have no excuses anymore! I enjoy exercise but the thought of it isn't always appealing and I'm basically just not one of those people who can push themselves past that. If you want results you need to be consistent and I do definitely want results, but …

The luxuries I can’t live without

I really like to keep things as simple as possible. It helps me to keep a clear head if I feel like everything is in order. My house isn't cluttered with stuff. I constantly try to downsize my wardrobe. I try not to hoard too much. I don't even have many apps on my phone! …

Current Wardrobe picks…

I have recently treated myself to a few new bits of clothing. I am trying to be braver and wear more colour and pattern. This winter i realised all of my clothes are more or less the same, how boring! Spring and Summer is the perfect time to experiment with colour and pattern. These are …
