The absolute bare minimum!
It would be fair to say that my time is very limited these days! Having a 4 1/2 year old and a newborn leaves very little time for beautifying but I'm the kind of girl who just doesn't feel herself without a bit of make-up on. There are a handful of essential products...
Happy Days!
I was tagged by the fabulous Rocailleto list 6 things that have made me happy today. As it's currently 6am, I'm going to have to cheat a little and use the last 24hrs. Spending the afternoon with my baby sister.We did a little bit of shopping and she kept me company...
A few random thoughts…
I'm not really feeling capable of constructing a coherent blog post so I thought I'd just list some of the random thoughts running through my hazy brain at the moment. When do I have to start worrying about housework again? My kitchen floor is filthy, the toilet needs...

Going Up... My boyfriend. He's wonderful. My children... still getting used to talking in plural! Finding time to soak in a warm bath every evening. The vast array of fresh flowers that are decorating my house at the moment. I've used every vase I own! My Hotmilk...
Simple Pleasures…
As a reward for providing him with a son and heir my wonderful boyfriend bought me some fantastic gifts. A HUGE slab of Hotel Chocolat choccy (which lasted less than 24 hrs....I'm a breastfeeding mother, I *need* the calories) was accompanied by this beautiful bottle...
A little update with some big news….
My little baby boy finally arrived on Saturday 13th June at 3pm. He was born at home on the bathroom floor! He weighed a mahoosive 9lb, which was a bit of a surprise as my daughter was quite tiny. We're all doing fine. Hopefully be able to get back to blogging soon......
FOTD
To make up for the fact I could only face wearing tracksuit bottoms today (which, under normal non-pregnant circumstances, I consider a cardinal sin) I decided to go for a bit of glam with winged eye-liner and a touch of red gloss. I am by no means an expert at...
FOTD
Today was not a good day for me and make-up. I was quite happy with how this turned out before I left the house but every time I caught sight of my reflection (and I sat in front of a mirror to have my haircut) I became more and more irritated by it! I think this was...
Lush Lemony Flutter = Love
Who would have thought the humble lemon could be such a potent beautifier?! I mentioned the other day that Dove gradual tanner had turned the tips of my nails a rather fetching shade of yellow. It was staring to look as if I had a serious case of 'smokers fingers'.......
My Fair Lady Makes Me Want Monochrome…
I was admiring some images from (yet another) Hepburn film last night and it got me thinking about how much I love a simple monochrome outfit. There are quite a few bits and pieces around that I'm seriously lusting after, especially on the Reiss website!And I really...

Going Up...Cadbury Double Decker. Yum. I've had two today, one for me and one for baby!Getting a phone call from one of the girls at work. I'd thought they'd forgotten all about me since I entered the social abyss that is maternity leave.Reflexology. I can't recommend...
Did I mention I’m STILL pregnant?
Here are a few of the things I'm looking forward to about NOT being pregnant...Being able to have a drink of rose wine in the sunshine. I haven't had an alcoholic drink since October last year. I'm not a massive drinker but there are occasions when I really fancy one...
Knowing Me, Knowing You
The wonderful Yinka of Vex In The City invited all her followers to join in this tag. I've enjoyed reading everyones responses so thought I'd embark on my first ever tag! Where are you from? I'm originally from London but we moved to Devon just over 3 years ago. I...
FOTD
Another dodgy picture!Please excuse my awful hair (which I couldn't be bothered to wash) and my slightly wayward eyebrow! Unfortunately, I think my camera has washed out a lot of the colour from this photo. I'm actually wearing quite a vibrant blue on my eyes....
Being Pregnant
It's Tuesday and I'm still pregnant.This was not part of the plan! I was so worried about the baby coming early and preventing me from finishing all my uni work that I never even contemplated the prospect of going overdue. It's not fun, I feel as if I've been pregnant...
If I wasn’t 9 months pregnant I would mostly be buying…..
