Top 10 Budget Beauty Products

I love high-street beauty products; there are so many good quality lotions and potions that work just as well as their higher end counterparts!

Today I thought I'd share my top ten favourites..

Delicious Banana Loaf

I adore cake... If I could eat it every day without gaining a crap-ton of weight, I would!

I'm not overly keen on bananas however, so I wasn't sure how much I was going to like a cake made of them.

But I love it!!

Five Minute Make-Up Routine | Mummy Day

I've got fed up of spending lots of time on make-up, especially when I'm just heading to toddler groups or the park with James.

Here are the products I use when I want a quick and easy look that just gives my face a little radiance, and my eyes some definition.

The Best Cleaning Products

I can sometimes be a tad obsessed with cleaning. I just love to make things look shiny and have the flat smelling beautiful!

Today I thought I'd share my favourite products that make cleaning that little bit quicker and easier!

Why we Love our Artificial Lawn | Namgrass

When deciding what to do with our back garden, we wrote down a list of what we wanted out of the space and how it was going to be used.

I love the look and feel of grass, but the upkeep wasn't something either myself or my husband wanted to make time for. Added to that, we have a dog and a baby; real grass is not always the easiest to clean dog mess off of!

A Stroll Along The Thames

One of the best things about living in London is having so much culture right on your doorstep.

There's something new and interesting to do everyday. You can go back to the same place one hundred times and always have a unique experience.

5 Cheap and Easy Play Ideas for Babies

No matter how many toys you buy your little one, they still end up getting bored of things.

Sometimes it's nice to mix things up with some home made toys and games. Also, as our babies get older it's great to do this because it teaches creativity and more imaginative play!

ELC Wooden Activity Table

A brightly coloured wooden activity table that has lots of different games for your little one.

I wasn't sure whether James really needed an activity table, but while browsing through Mothercare's Sale section I spotted this for half price and couldn't resist... And I am so glad I got it! It's fast become one of our most used toys!

Getting Fit After Pregnancy and Five Best YouTube Workouts

Pregnancy is an amazing and beautiful experience...

But afterwards you're left feeling deflated and saggy (or at least I was). It can be very hard to accept your new body.

Top Five Toys | One Year Old

Here is what James has been loving recently..

New Products on Trial | Radiant and Perfect Skin

I've got a few products I've been testing out recently that I wanted to share with you all..

13 Months Old | Baby Update

I wasn't going to do another baby update until 18 months, but so much has happened in the last few weeks that I wanted to write about!

April Empties | 2016

I'm not sure whether I've ever written an Empties post, but I definitely used to film them on my YouTube Channel.

If you've not seen a post like this before, it's simply a review of the products you've used up!

Being Sick While Looking After a Baby

Who knew it was so hard!?

Tomy Aquafun Octopals | The Multi-purpose Bath Toy

Just before James turned one, I was on the hunt for a really good multi-purpose bath toy. I came across the Tomy Aquafun Octopals while searching through Amazon and it had a lot of amazing reviews, so I asked his Granny if she'd like to get it for his birthday.

We've been playing with it for about a month now, and have had endless fun!!

So, I thought I'd do a quick review.

Hormonal Changes and Cutting Down Breastfeeding

After I cut back on breastfeeding a couple of months ago, my hormones started causing me a lot of problems! I can be really bitchy at times anyway (sorry Hubby), but these pesky hormones make things a million times worse.

Eating Healthy for Summer

With the weather hotting up I know I'm going to have more skin on show soon, and while I'm happy with my weight, I'm not so happy with all the extra jiggly bits left behind after pregnancy.

I just feel a bit deflated. So, it's time for healthy eating and more exercise!

Here is what I've been eating recently as I've started to try and eat cleaner.

Living with the Mess & Chaos | Mummy Life

I'm quite an organised person who loves a clean and tidy house! But as James has gotten older and more and more on the move...I've had to let go a lot.

I was a bit obsessed at first with constantly cleaning and making things neat. I thought that if people came round and the place looked messy, I'd look like a crappy mum! Being at home to look after your children should surely mean you have all the time in the world to make the place look like a show-home! HA! What an idiot I was.

The Prettiest Nudes | Nail Polish

I always make sure to keep my toe nails painted; it helps to make them look that little bit prettier, because lets face it, most feet are just 'Gah!!'

My finger nails are another story. I'm always using my hands for tasks, so they chip so quickly and I just don't have the time for the upkeep.

But if I do fancy looking a bit more preened, the best choice of polish to go for is a nude. When a nude colour chips it can go unnoticed for a few days - perfect!

Topshop Lust List | May 2016

Topshop is most definitely my all-time favourite place to buy clothes! It is very rare for me to not be lusting after something from there.

Today I'm going to share what I've been eyeing up recently..

Top Five Baby Books | One Year Old

Within the couple of weeks after James turned one, I've really noticed a difference in how interested in books he's become. I was a bit worried for a while that he wouldn't sit still to listen to a story and the only way I've been able to keep his attention has been when he's strapped into the high chair.

But...this week he has constantly been bringing me books to read to him and he's actually sat on my lap and listened - absolutely unheard of for James!!

His favourites are all ones that do something interesting and today I thought I'd share them with you!
