If there is one skincare item I religiously use twice a day, it is a cleanser. My skin just never feels clean unless I’ve cleansed after my morning shower and just before I go to bed. No matter what I’m doing or how tired I am, I will always use a cleanser twice daily. It’s funny though,…
When it comes to writing about beauty, face masks are still my favourite thing to review and try. I’m a bit of an avid face mask collector, and over the years I have literally tried hundreds of different masks! As I’ve become more particular about the brands and products I use, I’ve discovered which masks work best…
Our little man is here! As I sit here typing this, he’s been with us for over two weeks now (seriously where has the time gone?!) and this is actually the first chance I’ve had to jump on the computer. The weeks have gone so fast already, and I really see how other Mum’s tell you to…
I can’t believe week 36 was my last full week of being pregnant! It feels like such a long time ago we found out, but at the same time it really feels like it’s flown…. especially the third trimester! If you missed my last post, baby boy is being born via C-section at 37 weeks, so while…
These days, most kids have a social media footprint by the time they reach one…. one day that is. Many parents are quick to plaster pictures of their baby all over social media and blogs the moment it’s born, and while of course this is totally their decision and I respect that wholeheartedly, I’ve decided it’s not…
This was my second week in Dunedin. This week seemed to kick off with a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions, which is slightly daunting as I’m terrified I won’t be able to tell the difference between BH and proper contractions (although everyone has told me I will DEFINITELY know!) Braxton Hicks are funny, my belly just gets…
Today’s post is all about how you can hide a baby bump. Okay, you’re probably thinking, “why on earth would you want to hide a baby bump?!”. But the truth is that for many women they want to be able to keep their secret a little longer, or perhaps they don’t feel 100% comfortable with how their…
Pregnancy Diary Week 33 I’m not going to lie, this week sucked! We had our appointment with the obstetrician in Dunedin, and thankfully she is lovely. Sadly, they’ve told me I need to be in Dunedin from week 34 onwards in case of any bleeding with my placenta previa/low lying placenta. While I haven’t had any so…
A few weeks back I went through and sorted through all of my clothes. I do this twice a year, at roughly the start of Spring and Autumn, when the weather starts to change (although I was a bit later this year!). I find it’s the perfect time to have a bit of a clear out and…
If you had told me two years ago that I’d write the next sentence, I would have laughed. But right now I really really miss working out. As you might know if you’ve been following my blog for a while, at the start of 2017 I started at the gym and was absolutely loving how fit and…
