I’ve been working in be wedding industry for several years now and over time, working on so many weddings, I’ve come to learn a few tips and tricks along with general realisations. It’s hard to switch off Although my job is technically 9am until 2pm, I often find myself thinking about work when I’m at home. When I left my full time wedding coordinator job in May 2015, it was...
Pregnancy Diary – 33 Weeks
Yeah so I totally missed the 32 week pregnancy diary… A lot has actually happened since my 30 week pregnancy post so I figured I better post an update now at 33 weeks. Firstly, we had our much awaited 4D scan at just over 30 weeks. This was something I had had done when pregnant with Carly and knew I wanted to have with this baby as well. Unfortunately for...
Monday Musings – Why a Little Envy is Good
So I have a confession to make, I have a bad habit of being jealous. I know I should be grateful for the life I have, for all the things I have, for my health, for my children. And I am, I truly am. But I still get a little jealous from time to time. And I’ve come to be ok with this. I sometimes get a little jealous of...
Beauty Review – Barry M Strobe Cream & The Body Shop Baked to Last Bronzing Powder
Wow, does this post have the longest ever blog title or what?! Basically, rather than doing two separate reviews I figured I would do both at once mainly because since I bought these two products, I’ve been using them together and I love the results. I’ve had my eye on the baked to last bronzer for ages, ever since me and my sister were window shopping and both loved it...

Monday Musings – Decluttering Our House
With a new baby on the way and a house move imminent, I’ve been meaning to start sorting out our belongings for a long time. Watching my friend Kirsty’s YouTube video on minimalism last week gave me the push I needed to get started (if you haven’t watched Kirsty’s videos yet, make sure you take a look as they’re totally motivating!). On my day off on Wednesday I think my...
Foodie Friday – My Top 5 Snack Foods
Ok so I have a teeny tiny confession to make. I love a good snack. In fact snacking is one of my worst traits and the reason why I’m probably resembling a whale more than a glowing earth mother during this pregnancy. I have very little self control and it only takes Ed to mention the word snack and I’m craving sugary or salty goodness on my tastebuds… These are my...
Beauty – My Summer Beauty Haul
If you watch my videos on YouTube, you may have seen that I recently bought a few bits from Boots and The Body Shop. I rarely treat myself so I’m really excited to have some new things to try out- expect some reviews coming up on the blog. I took advantage of the 40% off voucher code in The Body Shop which meant that I got all 3 products for...
Wedding Wednesday – My Wedding Planning File
As you may or may not know, I’ve been married before and the wedding I’m currently planning will be my second marriage. One of the things I found incredibly useful for my first wedding was the wedding file I put together with everything to do with the wedding inside. It was an invaluable tool in the lead up to the big day and when I started planning my wedding with...
Mini Beauty Review – Essence Eyeshadow
Ok so I have like a massive backlog of beauty reviews I want/need to do after a big (well, big for me, probably tiny for most) beauty shop I did on my return from Devon last week. However, I just had to shove this one to the top of the waiting list because this little gem cost me *drumroll* £1.00! Yes, one measly pound that even I can afford when...
