I live for beauty products, if you follow me on Snapchat you have seen that I have quite a few bags for beauty products to go through. I tend to stick to a few things at a time otherwise my skin gets super damages. Since giving birth my skin has been on the fussy side, it’s rather dry and dull let’s say … well I also know I badly need some serious sun, last summer I was pregnant and rather sick so I missed summer 2016 haha I have been looking for a few good products in order to…
Reshaping body post pregnancy
This morning we are talking exercise, reshaping body and being healthy … So as you may know I used to be the girl who eats Nutella with a spoon on a weekly basis, eats at least 1 or 2 burgers a week and crazy about sweet things … Well pregnancy has changed my diet considerably, it’s been 9 months of pretty much being a vegetarian. The first 4 months I was so ill I did not eat anything but toast and water to keep hydrated. I then did not have ANY cravings whatsoever aside from Orange Juice which I already craved before,…

Sound sleeping
We are extremely lucky to partner with amazing brands since we have had Liam, we loved to try new products out and see what was working for us as new parents. Liam has been sleeping in his Sleepyhead ever since he was a baby and has loved. So much so that I am worried about the time we can't take it with us abroad or he gets in his big bed alone. It's not only perfect for his sleeps but also for naps on the sofa downstairs no risk of rolling on the side and he is happy in it.…
Leather like
This was taken 3 weeks after Liam was born so bare with my crazy face haha I am super lazy these days writing things on the blog and looking after what is my passion so I am slowly posting all the articles I have ready for you all and then once I have had a bit of a tan, hair cut and a little holiday to relax after what has been a very very long year I will bring you some fab content back, still so much to write about the new house and renovations as well as new…
Surfing in style
Happy and good Friday everyone, Today I am sharing with you our new daily accessory :) we have partnered with Silver Cross as you know from the bedroom photos recently. They have been more than generous with us and we were able to choose this gorgeous neutral coloured pushchair from their new collection, this one is the Surf 3 and was definitely our style and the shape looked really modern yet chic to walk around London... I quite like to fact that there are two big wheels at the back and the small ones at the front easy to…
Doing it differently at Easter
Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend in the sun, we were incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful time. Hoping for the same weather on Easter weekend … well one can hope right?! I have partnered with notonthehighstreet.com for a fun little Easter project, I was lucky enough to choose a few pieces I loved to decorate the house and also do a pretty table for a sweet little party. As a child I spent every Easter with my family, eating good food and sharing happy memories while running around in the garden looking for…
Flooring with Quick Step
Let’s talk about wooden floors and how it makes a difference for your feet. I have a hate relationship with carpets, not sure why I find it dirty and too thick. I much prefer the classy feel of a wooden floor. We have been extremely lucky and god we are so so grateful to have partnered with Quick Step floorings. They offer an amazing variety of floorings from pure wooden to laminate floorings and also vinyl. As they say on their website and I totally agree choosing a flooring is the foundation of your home, it will give it its…
Liam’s birth story
Liam’s birth story It all started 9 months ago when the two blue bars showed up on the pregnancy test … don’t think I had ever been so happy in my life yet so petrified about the journey we were about to embark on. I think I should say first that I have always wanted to have kids and early too ( fell pregnant at 25) but I have also always been so scared of pregnancy, pains, putting on weight and the magic and fright? of giving birth. No need to talk about the pregnancy as I already did a few articles…
Gingham
A quick little hello typing with one hand ... it's great how you learn to do everything with one hand when you have a baby. I love this top it's super cute and goes with everything, I love finding gems in any stores and this top is from Primark and I was so happy with my score! It was only £8 and I am glad I got it for the upcoming season (well today is Spring but it's raining so let's wait and see) Hope you are all well xo S
