So looking at these photos I finally realise that one, I need to colour my hair because oh my the roots two, I have not blogged in forever and I am not sorry three, I still have a lot of baby weight to loose (damn I am not allowed to get back to the gym until I am healed) So hello again people, hope you are well doing well and thanks again for your well wishes since we welcomed our little Liam into our lives (birth story coming this week btw) we could not be happier and I think we…
Best black jeans to make you look slim
What is it with us all wanting to look slim and skinny all the time? oh well wait, do we want to look slim or do we want to have a bigger bum like Kim Kardashian? What are magazine saying these days? Not gonna lie, I love the feeling of fitting well into skinny jeans BUT, there is feeling good in your and there is being a skinny bitch! I believe we are all beautiful the way we are but every now and then we like to fit in a cute skinny pair of jeans. The best way to do so…
Baby shower
I am finally sharing pictures from my baby shower! I had mine in France where most of my close friends are and I wanted it to be around Christmas. I did not have a specific theme but I wanted it to be white and all neutral for sure (you know me and white). I discovered Kool and the Cake via Instagram and was so impressed with her little biscuit designs. I contacted her and asked her if it was possible to create little reindeers for the day and she outdid herself!(www.koolandthecake.com) My mum did the main cake with this gorgeous white…

Frame wall
I love a good gallery wall and baby’s room was the perfect room to style with these photos. I was so lucky to get those beautiful animal prints from this ETSY shop …. and I am 100% sure I will get back on her shop for more styles for the rest of the house... so in love with her pictures and the price is super if you want to style your house on a budget (remember that’s our no1 priority for this house renovation) First of all when you want to do a gallery wall you should always picture it before hand,…
Relationships and all the little sacrifices
I think you never know too much about relationships, nobody ever says ‘my relationship is perfect’ let’s be honest the ones that do are fooling themselves. A relationship is hard work, it’s about listening to the other person, helping them and also making sacrifices. You can never be too experienced, no matter how many partners you have had … I mean I have learnt from my past, I have learnt what I wanted in a man and I what I did not want … Then there is the eternal question: is he my soulmate? do soulmates really exist? Well…. in another chapter otherwise…
Morning routines
I have always loved doing smoothies in the mornings, it really boosts my energy and the fresher the better. I find that this year is going to be challenging for me/us with a new addition to the family. Isn’t it strange to think that we don’t know him yet, we don’t know what he likes, what he hates and how he is going to cope with long days at home … So I need to rethink my daily routines, morning routines and also my work routine. I am going to make sure I set aside some time for my article and…
Buying a house! Process and stress
We all dream of having our own home some day … I was raised in France as you all know (unless you are new to the blog and in that case welcome to my sparkly world ?) Well, in France you usually buy a house in your 30’s when you have kids and a secure job! Most of the time actually, to be honest, you build your house … we have a lot of space in France to build and the prices are, so it seems, more reasonable. In the UK it’s another story, I would say people buy a flat from a younger age to get up the…
