Bank Holiday Bargains…

Bank Holiday Bargains

 

Whilst the majority of you  will be enjoying the bank holiday Monday thats in it, I will be slaving away in the office for my sins! I’ve also had a bad dose of  morning sickness all weekend (woe is me!) so to make myself feel a wee bit better I took advantage of  all the bank holiday sales that are running at the minute. I picked up some new beauty bits which I will showcase at a later date but in the meantime being the trooper that I am I rounded up some of the online shops offering good beauty value at the minute. Check out the list below and let me know if you splashed the cash! Mwah x Read on »

Say hello to natural Irish skincare brand Nia!

Nia natural irish skincare

 I am a lady full of contradictions; anything with the word natural appeals to me but  likewise I have been known to part with an awful lot of money for the latest in cosmeceutical products. It’s a beauty bloggers prerogative,right?! Since becoming pregnant though I do have to tread more carefully through the world of  beauty products, as both many natural and manufactured ingredients can cause issues. Read on »

Cuticura

Using antibacterial products never used to be part of my usual routine but that all changed once I became a  regular visitor to our nations hospitals!

Himself brought home the above cute-tastic footwear for me a couple of weeks ago as I was feeling super under the weather and he reckoned I needed cheering up! (He is a keeper; I know this!)

I bloody love them! They came in the prettiest, girliest Hello Kitty box; so cute in fact that I haven’t taken them out of the box yet to wear! Read on »

In, Out, Shake it all about; what body parts WEIRD you out?


Scary Bellybutton

 

I’m nearly four months pregnant now and my tummy is starting to take on a more rounded, bloated look. After a huge roast dinner last week I commented to himself that my belly button was feeling a bit tight/odd; “that will be your belly button beginning to pop out” says himself. I recoiled in sheer horror. Outie belly buttons CREEP me the hell out. They are disgusting; some people don’t like feet, Me, I just don’t like belly buttons. Innies don’t freak me out as much but outies are just wrong. I am truly sorry if my weird fear of outies offends anyone but argh, when himself said he was full sure that pregnant ladies always end up with outies I nearly fainted on the spot.  Read on »
