Why You Won’t See My Baby Online

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…

Pregnancy Diary Week 35

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…

How to Hide a Baby Bump

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 – 34

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…

How I Organise My Wardrobe

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…

My Postpartum Fitness Plan

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…

The Tailor Skincare Glow Pot Astra

I wrote about this product in my February Favourites post, however since it’s a product I reach for so often, I figured it deserved a post of it’s own. It’s likely you’ve probably heard of skincare brand Tailor Skincare, but did you know that they are now creating natural makeup? One of their first products is this new…

Pregnancy Diary: Week 31 – 32

I’ve decided to start making these updates every fortnight rather than monthly, as we are getting so close now to meeting the little guy! Of course babies turn up when ever they feel like it, but from 37-42 weeks is the norm – that’s only 4 weeks away now! Ever since about halfway though my pregnancy, I’ve had…

Styling a Floral Wrap Dress from IKRUSH

The hottest dress this year is without a doubt the wrap dress. This style is universally flattering, working well on a number of different body types. It can also be dressed up or down, and it looks equally cute with heels or flats. It’s one of my favourite styles of dress, and as someone who is currently…

Pregnancy Diary: Weeks 27 – 30

Week 27 I was feeling really good this week (well, during the day at least – more on that later!), and I was so happy to start to see a few of the big things get ticked off our list. Our double glazing went in, which is so ridiculously exciting as it means we said goodbye to…
