Hey Guys,

This week I am posting a review of a biscuit brand called Biscuiteers. These aren't ordinary biscuits though, as they can be delivered to your door and come in a variety of styles, as I found out when I was gifted some by the brand for my birthday next week! They arrived at the perfect time as it is also my daughter's birthday this week so double the celebration.

Hey guys,

So by now you should know that I'm pregnant! I decided to document my first trimester in a diary format, so parts will be as I am experiencing it and there may also be comments from me reflecting on it later. Even though my blog started off as a motherhood and beauty blog, more recently I have focused a little more on the beauty side of things, but please expect to read more of my experience in pregnancy. The interesting thing is I started my blog nine months after the birth of my second child. So even though there are a lot of post-natal posts (click here) there are no pre-natal ones, so I am making sure I document how I feel every step of the way!

How can I feel so lifeless when I have never been more full of life? I'm pregnant, and the reality is I'm exhausted, not just from feeling tired but from feeling sick, from being constipated, from the smells that are the most overpowering they have ever been. This is my third pregnancy. so you might say you knew what you were getting yourself into. Yes I knew, but when reality hits, there's nothing quite like it. 

Hi guys,

One of my highest requested make-up looks is a glowy, natural, nude look. I recently did a poll on my instagram stories and this came up as favourite compared to other looks such as a smokey eye or bold lip. So I decided to create one using some fantastic products I received recently.

The first thing I will say is that when it comes to creating this type of look your skincare before the make-up application has to be on point. The skin needs to be really hydrated and prepped. So to start with I exfoliated using *Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, which exfoliates the skin and leaves you with a smooth surface. I then applied *Pixi Glow Tonic Toner and Glow Serum for that extra boost of Glycolic acid, which will reveal new skin cells. I finally applied my *Dermalogica Prisma Protect moisturiser with SPF 30.

Hi Guys,

This week, I am bringing something a little bit different to the blog. Recently, I was invited to a one night's stay at *Chicheley Hall in Newport Pagnall (near Milton Keynes) for me and a plus one. It is a grade II listed, 18th century mansion that is being used as a hotel and wedding venue. It had come at the most perfect time as I needed a little escape from my busy mum and work life (I'll explain why a little later). I couldn't even remember the last time Aaron and I had spent the night away. At first, I wasn't even sure about where Milton Keynes was, as I had never been before but was pleasantly surprised that it was only around one and a half hours drive from Birmingham, so not too far, but far enough to feel like I had got away from the chaos of the city.
