The heavenly aroma of lemongrass and lavender were escaping through my package from Candle Jar before I had even opened it. I find the smell of lavender instantly calming, I think it’s because it reminds me of the pillow spray I drench my bedsheets in every night. Candle Jar showcases the best…
Penny, my funny little 2-year-old girl, loves animals, nature and getting incredibly messy. I quickly fell in love with the concept behind Mud & Bloom before their November box even arrived. I’ve always believed that giving children the opportunity to explore the world around them and connect with nature is incredibly important…
I have a newborn baby and a toddler currently in the midst of her ‘terrible twos’, so you can bet I drink a hell of a lot of coffee to get me through the day. My Nescafé Dolce Gusto Machine is pretty much the love of my life. The manual Jovia is…
Everyone knows that I love a subscription box whether it be full of makeup, face masks, candles, alcohol or chocolate – sign me up! Bakedin is probably most well known for their cake mixes and mug cake kits. I had no idea they had a subscription service or I would have…
I’ve never been this exhausted in my entire life. Poppy, my now 5-week-old newborn, isn’t my first baby. My eldest, Penny, is now two so I’ve been through it all before. The 2 am feeds, the explosive nappies and the ever-growing pile of tiny pink things needing to be washed.…
Trying to get a decent nights sleep when you have a newborn is almost impossible, so when Utmost Me* got in touch to ask if I’d like to try their Neuro Rest Natural Sleep Supplements, unsurprisingly, I jumped at the opportunity. Poppy has been getting up pretty much every hour. The doctor suspects…
Night Time Skincare Essentials My bedtime routine consists of a number of steps. The first step is to take off all the makeup that my poor skin has been caked in all day. Right now I find myself reaching for either the Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm or Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm followed…
I honestly didn’t get the appeal at first. I mean, why would you want to watch someone clean on Instagram? Who is Mrs Hinch? Why is everyone obsessed all of a sudden? Well, as soon as I watched her first story on Instagram I completely understood the hype. Just a…
Taking the time to post a card is thoughtful and a box of chocolates is always appreciated, however, there’s nothing more special than a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers arriving at your door. I was very kindly gifted a luxurious bouquet from the New Baby Collection at Appleyard London. The ‘It’s…
Can you actually believe the weather we’ve been having recently? This may have been the worst summer ever to be heavily pregnant, however, even I can appreciate the glorious sunshine we’ve been experiencing. I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, but it’s more important than ever to stay hydrated,…
Whilst I’ve been focusing all my time decorating the girl’s new rooms, my husband, Ross, has been locked away in his office (AKA man cave), filling it with all manner of comic book related clutter and Ikea ‘lad pad’ furniture. Like most guys, he loves technology, tools and gadgets. CoolStuff.com…
The other day I was sent a fabulous box of goodies from the lovely people at Twinings to celebrate the release of their new Cold Infuse collection. It’s recommended that we drink at least 2 litres of water a day, however, I must admit, my daily intake is nowhere close to reaching this.…
Today I have two wonderful interactive board games up for grabs – Googly Eyes and Bunny Jump, both from University Games*. University Games are on a mission to bring back family time with their collection of high-quality games, activities and puzzles, that are sure to put smiles on everybody’s faces. Not…
Recently I was very kindly sent a beautiful watch from the ‘Meeks’ collection in the style Petite Lake Blue, a new design available at ADEXE London. The Meek collection is inspired by the classic British design of the 1800’s. The watch comes in a variation of hand-polished stainless steel mesh or…
